Q1When did the Portuguese take over Goa?
Explanation
The Portuguese captured Goa in 1510 under Afonso de Albuquerque, making it their major base on the western coast of India. The year 1506 is too early for the actual takeover of Goa, though Portuguese activity in the Indian Ocean had already begun. The year 1518 does not match the capture of Goa; by then the Portuguese position there had already been established. The year 1526 belongs to a different phase of Indian history, marked by the beginning of Mughal rule in north India, not by the Portuguese acquisition of Goa.
