In 1494 Spain and Portugal signed the Treaty of Tordesillas, dividing the world into two exploration and colonizing areas: the Spanish and the Portuguese. It stated a meridian in the Atlantic Ocean, with the western part excusive to Spain and the east to Portugal.

In 1511 Malacca, then the center of Asian trade, was conquered for Portugal by Afonso de Albuquerque. Getting to know the secret location of the so-called "spice islands" – the Banda Islands in the Moluccas, then the single world source of nutmeg and cloves, main purpose for the travels in the Indian sea- he sent an expedition led by António de Abreu to Banda, where they were the first Europeans to arrive in early 1512 [1]. Abreu then left for Ambon Island while his vice-captain Francisco Serrão sank off Ternate, where he obtained a license to build a Portuguese fortress-factory: the Forte de São João Baptista de Ternate (pt).
Letters sent from Serrão to Ferdinand Magellan, who were friends and possibly cousins, describing the "Spice Islands", helped Magellan persuade the Spanish crown to finance the first circumnavigation travel[2][3]. On November 6, 1521, the Moluccas, "cradle of all spices," were reached from the east by Magellan's fleet, sailing then under Juan Sebastián Elcano, at the service of the Spanish Crown. Before Magellan and Serrão could meet in the Moluccas, Serrão died on the island of Ternate, almost at the same time Magellan was killed in the battle of Mactan in the Philippines[4].

After the Magellan expedition (1519–1522), Charles V sent an expedition led by García Jofre de Loaísa to colonize the islands, claiming that they were in his zone of the Treaty of Tordesillas[5]. The expedition reached with difficulty the Moluccas, docking at Tidore, where the Spanish later founded a fort. The conflict with the Portuguese already established in Ternate there was inevitable, resulting in the Spanish defeat after a year of fighting, starting nearly a decade of skirmishes over the possession.

Malacca fell... Acheh and Johore rose. This brought doom towards the Portuguese. But still, I rather say that Acheh is more powerful than Johore since Acheh was the one who raided the Portuguese constantly. Johore was being so cunning, then cooperated with the Dutch and managed to defeat Portuguese Malacca at last.

Duh... history.
