About

For a period of over 200 years, starting in the mid-17th century, the VOC (the Dutch East Indies Company) enjoyed a complete monopoly of foreign trade in Japan, granted by the ruling shoguns. This was an extension of its successful exploitation of the wealth of the East Indies during the 16th and 17th centuries. This lecture explores how, in the first hundred years, by facing off all its European rivals - where necessary by force of arms - the company brought unprecedented wealth to the Netherlands.
