Abstract	:	At the turn of the sixteenth century, the city of Malacca was a vibrant trade hub. Its position between the Indian Ocean to the west and China and the Moluccas (the Spice Islands) to the east resulted in a great gathering of international merchants eager to do business with one another. Gujaratis, Tamils, Chinese, Javanese, and Malays all at one time or another served as advisors to the sultans; Arabs and Italians visited the city and left their impressions. Yet within a decade of the Portuguese conquest of Malacca in 1511, the city had lost its prominence and much of its population, to the consternation of its European administrators. How did this happen?
