El sudeste asiático en las políticas de la Monarquía Católica. Conflictos luso-castellanos entre 1580-1621

Abstract

The study of its antecedents and developments will allow us to draw the struggles between Spanish and Portuguese empires and their counterparts, the Dutch Republic and the emerging British maritime empire during the beginning of seventeenth century
