Portuguese trading empire felt apart by the year 1500 because , Portuguese colonies became the subject of attacks by three rival European powers hostile to Spain: the Dutch Republic, England, and France and Portugal was unable to effectively defend. This is a result of the fact that the king of Spain was also a King of Portugal.
