    At its peak in the 17th century, the Dutch East India Company (Verenigde Oostindische Compagnie/VOC) had a broader global reach and economic clout than the British East India Company. The Dutch East India Company was truly global in scope (East and West), unlike the British East India Company, whose trade was limited mainly to the Indian subcontinent. This makes the Dutch company (and not the British one) the first true multinational company (in addition to being the first joint-stock company in the world). The Dutch East India Company was also the wealthiest commercial enterprise globally, generating enormous profits from the spice trade. It went bankrupt in the late 18th century and was formally dissolved in 1799, opening the doors to the British East India Company (dissolved in 1874).
    The British East India Company grew steadily and eventually surpassed the Dutch in economic power by the late 18th century. However, considering their historical impact, the British East India Company arguably had a more significant and enduring influence on global trade and politics.

      Not true, the VOC had the Dutch monopoly from the Cape eastwards, the WIC had the Dutch monopoly on the Atlantic. It did an expedition to find the North passage to the East-Indies for which they hired Henry Hudson. European trade wast still much, much bigger and that was dominated by the Dutch merchant fleet consisting of thousands of companies that had nothing to do with the VOC.

      You know that Britain was only able to conquer the world because of it's parliamentary institutions and free trade. Most colonies were even a losing game for Britain and France and they only kept them for prestige and so that they had a market there and could sell goods to. To say that Britain got rich because of India is wrong, Britain got rich because of it's early industrialisation which happened because of it's parliamentary institutions and free trade. Your argument is not logical and you are confusing the chain of causality.

      The european colonialist nations got their empires because they developed weapons far more advanced than their victimcs after endless wars with one another. (Also, especially in the case of the Americas, the devastating diseases they brought with them was a crucial factor). Britain did not industrialise until after the American revolution, as a direct result of their defeat in that war- they needed to build newer, better warships to make up for their losses. The fact that other nations from the same part of the world, with a similar history in warfare, but no meaningful parliaments also had vast colonial empires moere or less disproves that bit of Whig nonsense, not to mention that suffrage was so limited, the parliament was more or less a joke. As for free trade, seriously WTF! What free trade are you talking about? We are referring to colonial empires! Anyway... have a nice day@@danielkaner5156

    These emails are html that load when you open them. Similar to html in the browser, three html can render differently depending on viewport (i.e. desktop, mobile, tablet, etc). Usually, you load them differently to fit more or less the same content to look ok in different screen sizes, but you can load whatever you want for each viewport. You could make them completely different if you wanted. So, different text is perfectly possible. I'd guess they didn't intend the difference and someone just fucked up.

      If we decide now that all Dutch trade with Ireland would be done by a single company, that would be a huge company too. The VOC didn't compete with the tens of thousands of individual merchants because it had a monopoly East of the Cape in today's SA, and it was not competitive in the European trade because of operation costs. Bigger ships with lots of guns and bigger crew, double planked, they were specialized in one year journeys with valuable cargo, not suited for shipping wheat from Poland to Sweden at competitive prices.

    Nothing ironic. The States-General already existed before the the Dutch Republic's DOI and the States as provincial parliaments without having a common assembly go back to the 13th century. The English support for the Dutch revolt was half arsed and two faced, and queen Elizabeth kicking the Dutch sea beggars out of English ports and taking back her beloved non valeur Robert Dudley Earl of Leicester where both great turning points in the Dutch war against the Spanish Empire. Lucily for the English, the Dutch had already blocked the Spanish Armada from actually invading England.

    I've mixed feelings. It is easy to look back retroactively on the past and apply modern moral values to the actions taken but that is dishonest and lacks context. In my view, "evil" requires malicious intent for the sake of doing harm. The EIC never did anything purely for the purpose of causing harm, it was always for money.

      @@TAKOHUMU In the 1600s and 1700s most of the global population was under some kind of totalitarian rule where if you spoke out against the ruler you could expect to die, where human rights abuses and famines were common and where most people lived day to day with uncertainties about whether they would have enough food to get through the next week for their families. Wars and disease were also common and life expectancy was short. Viewing conditions in India against modern expectations is out of context given what life was like there was pretty similar to the conditions most people lived under in the 1600s and 1700s.
