By 1505 Portuguese naval activity had managed to anger Mameluk Egypt, the Ottoman Empire and Venice. They form an antiPortuguese alliance and start to build a modern fleet at Suez in order to kick the Portuguese out of India. The Portuguese under the command of Francisco de Almeida defeat them at the Battle of Diu. The next Viceroy of India, Alfonso de Albuquerque begins to expand the Portuguese Empire adding Goa, Malacca and the Spice Islands to the Portuguese Empire. Later the Ottomans under Suleiman the Magnificent challenge the Portuguese. However they are defeated in the Ottoman Portuguese War. It was up to the Dutch East India Company (VOC) to defeat the Portuguese. The two countries went to war after the Iberian Union. The Dutch were joined by the English, the two East India companies dividing up Portuguese possessions between them.
