Bartholomew Dias Case Study

I am Bartholomew Dias and the conflict is that Bartholomew Dias went with Pedro Cabral and they landed in Brazil. Cabral was not interested in exploring the area he discovered, he was more interested in finding India not Brazil. I came up with a route, but Pedro didn’t use my route which was around the west coast of Africa. Instead he used Vasco DA Gama’s route. We sailed in the South direction and passing the Canary and the Cape Verde Island. We were welcomed to the land where the Muslims were. When we got there we were putting in a trading post and the Muslims attacked us and we fought back. So then Pedro Cabral was accused with Battery/Assault.
Once there, Cabral set up a trading post, but hostile Muslims attacked the post and killed 50
men who were stationed there. Cabral sought revenge by burning ships and punishing the entire town. Cabral and his crew left Calicut and sailed to Cochin and Cannanore off the Indian Coast. He was doing it because of self defence. He was much better received there and was very successful with the trading post and in gaining commercial treaties for Portugal.
Then Pedro Cabral got accused of Battery/Assault. Even, though the Muslims attacked him first. He was just doing it for self;defence. Everyone that was with him helped him attack them and then they left. Then Pedro Cabral has to go on trial now because he didn’t even do it the Muslims did.
