How many years has Macao been occupied by foreign powers? Why did it change its name?

15 1 1 year Portuguese conquered Malaga, 15 13 year merchant ships came to China. 15 16 and 15 17 years, merchant ships were sent to Guangdong to sell pepper and other goods, and illegally occupied Tuen Mun Island, a county in Dongguan, Guangdong. Since then, Maskronhas has been sent to lead a fleet to illegally explore the coastal topography of Zhangzhou, Fujian. 152 1 year, the Portuguese refused to leave Tuen Mun and expelled them by force. 1523, 1547 and 1549, the Portuguese invaded Cao Xi Bay in Xinhui, Guangdong, Zhangzhou and Zhao 'an in Fujian, and were all repelled by the Ming army. But since 1535, Macao has been inhabited by Portuguese. 1553, they occupied part of Macao's land in the name of lease by bribing local officials. 1557, they privately expanded their land, built forts and set up official offices in Macao, as if they regarded Macao as their own colony. This is the first piece of land illegally occupied by the Quartet colonialists in China for a long time.

So from 1557 to 1999, Macao was occupied for 442 years.
