Population of Portuguese settlements in Asia
What stands out is how few Portuguese there were. Also notice among the extensive entries in the left column the entry for Burma that doesn't exist yet.
The history of Burma and the Tai states on its frontiers (c. 1350-1600) and connections to Ming Dynasty Yunnan to the north and the Bay of Bengal to the south. The use of historiography and technology to investigate this time period and region are also covered.
