In 1656, after a seven-month siege, the Portuguese lost Colombo to the Dutch VOC, ending 150 years of Portuguese rule in coastal Ceylon. This episode dives into the brutal blockade, the role of King Rajasinha II of Kandy as a frustrated ally, and the secret Dutch-Portuguese negotiations that excluded the Sinhalese from the spoils. Lucas and Luna explore the siege's turning point—the Dutch capture of the outer fortifications and the starvation that forced Governor Antonio de Sousa Coutinho to surrender. They also examine the bitter aftermath: the Dutch double-cross of Rajasinha, the looting of Colombo's churches, and the seeds of Dutch colonial monopoly over cinnamon. A story of shifting alliances, military strategy, and the cost of European ambition in South Asia. #DutchCeylon #SiegeOfColombo #VOC #RajasinhaII #PortugueseCeylon #AntonioDeSousaCoutinho #Colombo1656 #KandyanKingdom #CinnamonMonopoly #DutchColonialism #SouthAsianHistory #MilitaryHistory #SiegeWarfare #EarlyModern #SriLankaHistory #FexingoHistory #History #ColonialHistory Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
