📅 26 Mart 1513 📍 Yemen

Afonso de Albuquerque’s fleet landed and attacked Aden but failed to seize the port. The attempt sought control over Red Sea access and Indian Ocean commerce. Aden’s defenders and local political authority resisted the assault; the event should be read as a failed imperial seizure, not as a footnote to European navigation.
