| Summary: | This article analyzes Macau's victory against the Dutch attack in 1622, emphasizing the resistance of the Macaenses in the face of the maritime offensive led by the Dutch East India Company. Drawing on contemporary sources, including the account of the Jesuit priest Jerónimo Rodrigues, the study contextualizes the episode within the broader tensions between Europeans and the Chinese Empire, highlighting military strategies and the political impact of the resistance. The research addresses the detailed description of the attack, evidencing the determination of Macau's defenders and the superiority of the local response against Dutch expectations of rapid submission. Furthermore, the article assesses the importance of the episode in Macau's history, illustrating its role as an obstacle to Dutch expansion in the region and reinforcing its relevance as a symbol of colonial resistance. It concludes that the event not only consolidated Macau's defense but also influenced subsequent Portuguese and Dutch commercial and military strategies in East Asia, contributing to the understanding of colonial dynamics and the formation of the city's cultural and political space. |
