This episode of The Pacific Story, first broadcast on August 22, 1943, examines Monsoon Asia, the region of Southeast Asia shaped by seasonal monsoon winds and the cultivation of rice. Narrated portions follow the Arab traveler Ibn Battuta on a long junk voyage that brings him to the city of Angkor. Later segments follow the Portuguese commander Albuquerque as he establishes a foothold at Malacca and a Dutch merchant considers the Portuguese spice routes. The program then turns to the region's farming, population density and history of civilization.
With Ibn Battuta, Albuquerque, Van Minchorten, Owen Lattimore.
Listen for: Ibn Battuta's sea voyage and his arrival at Angkor, and Albuquerque's land claim and capture of Malacca
