Afonso d'Alboquerque, a Portuguese nobleman and admiral, was responsible for the seizure of Hormuz (in modern-day Iran), Goa (in modern-day India), and Melaka (in modern-day Malaysia) as part of Portugal's efforts to establish a global trading empire in the early 1500s. Vasco da Gama was also a Portuguese explorer who sailed to India in 1498, but he did not capture these territories himself. Francis Drake and James Cook were both English explorers who lived later and did not play a role in these events. Zheng He was a Chinese explorer and admiral who sailed during the Ming dynasty, but he did not seize these territories either.
