The Portuguese
had
|
|
|
limited success
for some
|
|
|
decades, but the
small
|
|
|
nation lacked the
|
|
|
manpower and
ships
|
|
|
necessary for
|
|
|
enforcement.
|
|
|
n |
Many Portuguese
ignored
|
|
their government
and
|
|
|
traded
independently,
|
|
|
while rampart
corruption
|
|
|
among officials
and
|
|
|
losses of ships
further
|
|
|
hampered
policies.
