  1. Nahh… If there's any reasons why Malacca Empires fall is none other than the corrupted minister itself leads into the downfall. Back then the gunpowder musket technology has already been around and Malacca Empire itself did possess the technology so it's not easy to be conquered. The reasons Alfonso successfully conquered it thanks to the corrupted minister Malacca Empire itsel revealed all the weaknesses information while the merchant betrayal for revenge over high paying taxes implemented and the weak Sultan rules becoming a major factor to the downfall.
    It's funny history often being written by the winners but this time I read my own Malaysia History that they fight with spears, kriss and arrows and fighting to die in glory defending from foreign attacks but from Portuguese history record saying that they are so exited to see how much advanced weaponry stores gunpowder and musket warehouse from Malacca Empires suggested that time the technology really good.
    So, to make things simple it's coruption is it the biggest factor of the downfall Malacca Empires.
