The Video shows the history during the conquest of Kota A Famosa by The Dutch
Kota
A Famosa built as sturdy that it helped the Portuguese to repel all forms of
attack from the outside. To conquer Malacca, the Dutch team blockade the city
for five months, while the residents that trapped inside have to eat the cat,
rat, and in the case of a woman eating a dead baby.
