How was Macao occupied by Portugal?

From 65438 to 0553, the Portuguese began to live in Macao. Although the Portuguese sought the right of abode of the Ming Dynasty in Macao from 1557, the Ming government still set up a yamen here, which was directly under the jurisdiction of Guangdong Province.

Until 1887, the Portuguese government and the Qing government signed the Draft Convention of the China-Portugal Conference and the Sino-Portugal Reconciliation and Trade Treaty (which expired in 1928), and formally occupied Macao through the formalities of diplomatic documents, and Macao became a colony of Portugal.

1622, the Dutch attacked Macao leased by Portugal from the Ming Dynasty and lost (the Battle of Macao).

At first, the Portuguese were confined to the south of Macao. 1623, the Portuguese government appointed Marcelo as the first governor of Macao. Macao is famous for its cultural exchanges between China and the West in history. At the end of Ming Dynasty and the beginning of Qing Dynasty, the spread of western learning to the east played an important role in this area and once had a great impact on the operation of the world economy.

Since Macao was occupied by Portugal, the Portuguese have always enjoyed privileges or special status in Macao, which has made the residents dissatisfied. From1August 29th, 849, when Shen Zhiliang assassinated Governor Amalio, to1February 3rd, 966, the "December 3rd" incident and the Taipa School incident triggered by the Cultural Revolution showed that people were deeply dissatisfied with the Portuguese privileges in Macau? .

1On April 25th, 974, the Portuguese revolution was successful, and the policy of decolonization was implemented, which recognized that Macao was illegally occupied by Portugal and returned Macao to China for the first time. Due to the lack of proper handover conditions at that time, Zhou Enlai, then Prime Minister, proposed to temporarily maintain the status quo in Macao.
