Abstract


Macau became, since 1557, a commercial centre that flourished, due to regular mercantile activities between Japan and China. The Spanish, settled in Manila since 157, began in 1582 an endless commercial route between Manila and Macau, which was considered illegal by the authorities during the period of the philippine dynasty that ruled Portugal (1580-1640). However, the economical and religious interchange between the two towns were tolerated in a way or another. The arrival of the Dutch to the east multiplied the economical and military cooperation, between Macau and Manila, having in mind the defence against the threat of the new European competitors. Only the acclamation of king João IV in Macau in 1642 stopped the relationship between the two towns.
