List the main outposts of the Dutch East India Company in the 17th and 18th centuries?

Anyone who read 'The World That Trade Created: Society, Culture, and the World Economy; 1400 to the Present. Second edition' Should know this answer. But, it can be found from various other sources as well. A straightforward answer will be greatly appreciated, and will be chosen as best answer right away.List the main outposts of the Dutch East India Company in the 17th and 18th centuries?
1- Decima, an artificial island near Nagasaki.
Very important, as the Dutch were the only ones allowed to trade with Japan.
2- Formosa, for a while
3- Ceylon/ Sri Lanka
4- Ayutthaya (Siam, nowadays Thailand, trading post)
5- Various trading posts in India
6- Many trading post along the African coast, main post was de Kaapkolonie. (Capetown)

Role of woman: mainly cleaning and *cough* entertainment, locally hired.

The VOC didn't allow its servants to take wifes along. Only for the higher officers, and only if they stayed long on that post. A common sailor was out of the question, and others (non com soldiers, etc.) had to satisfy themselves with local wifes.

The Dutch rarely allowed migration. They ran a strictly commercial empire. As soon as a post ran into a deficit, the post was shut down and abandoned. Trading was done in local languages, not in Dutch. (That is one of the reasons why Dutch is not widely spoken over the world.)List the main outposts of the Dutch East India Company in the 17th and 18th centuries?

So would the Tea Baggers really dump East India Company's tea?

I think if anything they would be on the side of East India CompanySo would the Tea Baggers really dump East India Company's tea?
The LIBS were TEA BAGGED in MA....
The corporations have been handed rights as a human being. Which means that now corporations can buy government, through do influence. corporations can advertise, for their candidates, which gives the candidate unlimited funding from their corporate sponsors.





Here is the scary thing. imagine corporation, owned by X country, wants to influence the U.S. government. X country can inject its influence via corporation Z, and effect the election results of the U.S. Government. If X countries favored candidate wins, through corporation Z, the candidate now will be indebted to corporation Z, that is a buffer for X country.





In other words, the republicans have put the U.S. for sale to the highest bitter. And the world corporate giants, no matter who they are, or come from, now will influence who gets elected. Talk about republican patriotism.



Republicans have open the flood gets to multinational corporatism in government. For better words, fascism.So would the Tea Baggers really dump East India Company's tea?
Conservatives are ultra-capitalists. even the poor ones who are exploited by big business for low wages. The problem is, the can never move to the center because the Liberals are so radical with their support of some issues that they inadvertantly create a hard nosed movement on the right.
If the East India Tea company was unresponsive to the requests of its shareholders, I would think that the "Tea Baggers" would remove the board of directors.So would the Tea Baggers really dump East India Company's tea?
they were being real americans and not thinking about the impact they would have on others, just whoever they target.. :-p



but in all seriousness.. England probably already bought the tea.. the EIC could care less what happens after it was bought..
Ironic how the tea bags dumped the progressives overboard, in Boston of all places!
I'd rather dump steaming hot coffee on a liberals lap.
Agreed. Conservatives are proud of supporting corporations over people.
we tea baggers are winning! haven't you noticed?
I want to make love with Ronald Reagan. He was so sexy in his actor days.
What are you talking about

When was the east india company created?

idk.. i sorta searched, but i couldn't really find the date.. or the year really.When was the east india company created?
Dear,



EAST INDIA COMPANY;



The British Company was Chartered by Queen Elizabeth I on Dec., 31st, 1600, as part of the sudden overseas expansion made possible by the defeat of the Spanish Armada in 1588. A group of London Merchants received a monopoly on all British Trade and colonial administration over territories lying east of the Cape of Good Hope in return for assuming the initiative and the capital investment.When was the east india company created?
The Honourable East India Company (HEIC), often colloquially referred to as "John Company", was an early joint-stock company (the Dutch East India Company was the first to issue public stock). It was granted an English Royal Charter by Elizabeth I on December 31 1600, with the intention of favouring trade privileges in India. The Royal Charter effectively gave the newly created HEIC a 21 year monopoly on all trade in the East Indies. The Company transformed from a commercial trading venture to one that virtually ruled India as it acquired auxiliary governmental and military functions, until its dissolution in 1858 following the events of the Indian Rebellion of 1857 (then known as the Indian Mutiny).

  • What was the market capitalization of the Dutch East India Company? In ounces of gold maybe?

    This is a tough one for many reasons. But to simplify as much as possible, let's quote it in at least ounces of gold or silver. That is the way to figure this out. Dutch guilders in 1680 (our target year, let's say) were 0.91 quality silver and weighed 10.6 grams. Good luck guys because I couldn't find this.



    And shouldn't the next Googler know what the market cap of the first corporation ever was!!?! Hell yes he should.What was the market capitalization of the Dutch East India Company? In ounces of gold maybe?
    The original equity financing amounted to 6.5M guilders. During the bubble, these shares increased in value by a factor of 12 which makes it worth 78M guilders. You can trasnalte that into silver.

    East India company got its license cancelled in the year 1858 after first war of indian independence.?

    so control of India came under direct British crown, means rule of King or Queen of England and Viceroy was appointed to rule as kings or queens representative in India. So India came under direct British crown in 1858. So King or queen must be the ruler of colony India, then why British parliament conferred Queen Victoria the title "Empress of India" in the year 1877, when already she was the ruler or Empress in 1858 itself? What is the speciality in this title? what special powers would queen get after assuming this title?

    The use of pig fat-and mutton tallow in the rifles alloted to them were not acceptable to Hindu Soldiers who were forced to use the weapon despite their refusal.The 1857-58 Jhansi Rani's battle with the East India Company triggered the dissatisfaction of Indian Soldiers employed with the East India Company and many of the soldiers became sympathisers of the freedom movement and this movement spread nationwide and things went out of control of the East India Company giving rise to Nationwide unrest. The British Government had to interfere and took the Company under its charge to calm the situation and took over the Administration of the Country.All the three presidencies viz. Madras, Calcutta were consolidated under the Queens rule and the post of Governor General was upgraded and known as Vicroi giving him absolute power to any appropriate steps or action on behalf of the Queen in the matter of Governig the Country.Then to pacify the Indian Public and to asure them that they are under proper systamatic Government under the Queen.Queen Victoria was declared as Empress of IndiaEast India company got its license cancelled in the year 1858 after first war of indian independence.?

    http://ashishthakare.blogspot.com/2005/1鈥?/a>



    THE INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION WAS MOSTLY FINANCED BY THE EXPLOITATION OF COLONIES IN ASIA.



    THE QUESTION SHOULD BE: WHY DID THE BRITISH GO TO INDIA?



    TO HELP THE POOR INDIANS?

    OR

    TO MAKE PROFIT?



    EDUCATION, RAILWAYS ETC WERE BYPRODUCTS AND NOT INTENDED TO HELP INDIA...



    EDUCATION: TO RAISE A ENGLISH SPEAKING INDIAN GENERATION FOR ADMINISTRATIVE WORKS UNDER THE BRITISH OR CIVIL SERVANTS. AFRICA AND CHINA WERE BRITISH COLONIES TOO, NOW WHY DIDNT THEY PROFIT FROM ENGLISH AS INDIA DID!?!



    RAILWAYS: TO TRANSPORT GOOD EFFECTIVELY OUT OF INDIA.



    TO CALL THEM "POSITIVE EFFECTS" IS BASELESS AS LONG AS THERE ARE MUCH LONGER "NEGATIVE" LIST.



    BEFORE THE COLONIAL ERA INDIA WAS ONE OF THE MAJOR ECONOMIES IN THE WORLD.

    INDIA AND CHINA ACOUNTED FOR ABOUT 50% OF WORLDS GDP!

    (REMEMBER: COLUMBUS FOUND AMERICA IN SEARCH OF INDIA! MOTIVATED BY ITS RICHES... HENCE THE NATIVES WERE CALLED INDIANS!)



    WHEN THE BRITISH LEFT INDIA POVERTY WAS OVER 50%..NOW ITS DOWN BY ROUND 25%...



    FURTHER THE FAMINES DURING BRITISH RULE DUE TO MISGOVERNMENT, MASSACRE OF JALIAN WALA BAGH ETC... (JUST GOGGLE!)

    I HEAR THAT THE "MASSACRE OF JALIAN WALA BAGH" IS TO BE TAKE OUT OF BRITISH SCHOOL BOOKS...

    DURING THE COLONIAL ERA OVER 40 MILLION INDIANS LOST THEIR LIVES... AS MANY AS DURING WW2...



    THE CRIMES OF COLONIAL EXPLOITATION IS A DARK TRUTH IN HISTROY THAT WE SHOULD ACCEPT AND NOT IGNORE OR DENY.



    INDIA WOULDNT NEED ALL THOSE "AID" FROM ENGLAND OR OTHER NATIONS IF THE BRITISH WERE TO GIVE BACK THE RICHES THE STOLE IN INDIA DURING THE COLONIAL ERA... MAYBE START WITH THE KOHI-NOOR DIAMOND ON THE QUEENS CROWN!?!



    IN CHINA THEY ALMOST MADE THE NATION OPIUM ADDICTED!

    IN AFRICA THEY TOOK NATIVES AS SLAVES TO BRAZIL ETC!



    WHAT SORT OF HELP OR DEVELOPMENT ARE WE TALKING ABOUT?

    YEAH... EVERYTHING GREAT FOR THE QUEENS AND ENGLAND.



    TO KNOW WHAT THE BRITISH DID TO IRAN JUST GOOGLE "OPERATION AJAX"!!!



    THE BRITISH CAN SAY "WE DEVELOPED INDIA" TO SALVE THEIR CONSCIENCE BUT THAT WILL NEVER CHANGE THE HISTORIC FACTS....

    Thanks!What was the role of the British East India Company?
    The British East India Company was formed in 1600 when a group of merchants were given a monopoly of all trade with East Indies. The ships first arrived in 1608. Trading posts were on the east and west coasts of India. A famine in 1769 and 70 in Bengal was not addressed by the British East India Company and one-third of he population died. In 1773 Lord North put a Governor-General in charge of India.The annexation of native states, poor treatment of the peasants, and bad revenue policies led to the Rebellion of 1857 (the Sepoy Mutiny). In 1858 the East India Company went out of business. There after the British King was in charge of India.

    HOW DID THE EAST INDIA COMPANY COME INTO POWER??How did the east india company come into power?
    The East India Company traded mainly in cotton, silk, indigo dye, saltpetre, tea, and opium. The Company also came to rule large areas of India, exercising military power and assuming administrative functions, to the exclusion, gradually, of its commercial pursuits; it effectively functioned as a megacorporation

    The Company long held a privileged position in relation to the British Government. As a result, it was frequently granted special rights and privileges, including trade monopolies and exemptions.

    England was the dominant one up until the late 1500's to the late 1940's when England had control of virtually the entire indian ocean coast and only ended its dominance when it gave India, Pakistan, Kenya, Australia, and other colonies independence in the 1940's and 1950's but the Dutch had a minor holding of the Indian Ocean until the 1960'sWas Egland's or the Netherlands' east India company the winner for dominance in trade in the indian ocean?
    England, deffinatly england, ....i know this becuase until just perhaps twenty or thirty years ago, England was in control of India, and most of Asia, it wasnt till the late 80's early 90's that england domain in asia was over....the Netherlands stopped its global campaign to hold territories hundereds of years agoWas Egland's or the Netherlands' east India company the winner for dominance in trade in the indian ocean?
    It depends. Which company closed later? The British East India Company. So, we have a winner!



    But if we look at who was the most succesful, it's a different story. The VOC started well before the EIC, controlled large territories and almost all maritime traffic beyond the Duch Indies.



    Looking at the end of colonisation is mood: England granted India not that long before the Dutch were forced to. Both East India Companies were by then long gone.



    I'd say the EIC was the winner, but not by a big margin.

    It's going to depend on a couple of things that you haven't told us.



    The first is the denomination. If it's in good enough condition that you can identify it, you should be able to find the denomination on the same side it says "British East India Company". It will probably say (either in words or numbers) "1/12 anna", "one quarter anna", or "one half anna".



    A half anna would be about the size of a half dollar, a quarter anna about the size of a quarter, and a 1/12 anna is a little smaller than a dime.



    The next thing is the condition. Obviously, the better the condition the more it's worth, however, each of these three coins generally brings less than $10 even for a coin that has no wear. Typical examples usually net a buck or two. Badly worn examples are pretty common in a coin dealer's "two for a buck" box.How much would a coin from 1835 of East India Company worth?

    The British East India Company was chartered in 1601 by Queen Elizabeth. Although originally set p to compete with the Dutch in the spice trade in what is now Indonesia, the British were kicked out of the spice line by the massacre at Ambon in 1629, and thereafter focused on India. After the Battle of Plassey in 1756, the company became a major power broker in Indian politics and gained control over more and more area. In 1837 the company's monopoly on the China trade was abolished removing their largest profit sector. They became an agent of the British Government in the governing of India and received tax monies for this purpose. However in 1856 the "Sepoy Rebellion" (or first Indian War of Independence ) broke out, and in the aftermath the company was removed from the Indian Government. It was officially dissolved in 1876.

    She authorized the colonization of North America at the request of Raleigh. Elizabeth's time was fraught with controversies, plots to kill her, exploits into the unchartered terrorities in search of wealth, potentional war clouds fuming over her head. In 1588, England was under attack of the Spanish Armada. Elizabeth ordered all fleets to go into battle, despite the colonists' plea for some ships to sent back to mainland N. America for food supplies. The Spanish Armada was crushed and its message resonated well with those who tried undermining her rule as being a "Protestant" heretic and a woman. She had recieved such condemnation from the Vatican Pope at the time.

    Where did Napoleon come in?

    What were the significant things Nap did?

    ---lycee system(education reform)

    ----declaration of the rights of man---which still lives on today.

    ---french nationalism---what does it mean to be french

    Nap wanted the french ppl to be proud to be french; he wanted unity, national pride. that's one way to to have a great army---every one speaks french french---(some spoke different dialects so the lycee system helped to teach the country the proper french language so everyone could understand each other)

    ---he started the merit system---where soldiers where promoted based on performance not on wealth.

    ---he also fought wars differently---he used the concept of total war instead of limited war...he used men, women, child, the elderly....they all contributed to the war efforts even if they weren't actually fighting...they were supporting (ie medics, clothing, food, shelter)

    ---he used the concept of the troops living off the land---which allowed his armies to move faster----this fails though in Russia when the townspeople burn everything and nap's armies nearly freeze and starve to death.

    ----he also used conscription(draft)



    Nap did alot of crap.....to narrow it down for a 1500 word essay I would go with either his concept of total war versus limited war....or the declartion of the rights as man and how they are still used today.

  • What does the "East India" part in the "Dutch East India Company" mean?

    There is the Dutch East India Company, Portuguese, French, Danish, etc. Just wondering why they are all "East India". Does this mean they traded from their country to east India or something? Thanks for any help.What does the "East India" part in the "Dutch East India Company" mean?
    When Columbus arrived in the Americas he thought he had found the E. coast of India. He therefore thought the Caribbean was part of the Indies. It did not take that long to find out the mistake, but the name had by then stuck, the aboriginal inhabitants were christened 'Indians' and so on.

    Later the Caribbean islands became known as the West Indies (and are so to this day) whereas the true Indies (the places now known as India, Burma, Pakistan etc.) became known as the East Indies. It was a handy way of distinguishing between the regions and the name 'East India' became attached to various European companies trading with India and the far East.

    The name owes a lot to a 15thC misconception, and little to the real geographical fact.What does the "East India" part in the "Dutch East India Company" mean?
    All such East India Companies came to those parts for only trade first. Exigencies of conditions there propelled them into military role and Empire-building when there was no stopping them. Was there a Portuguese East India Company too, I wonder (I think you are going overboard!). Austria established its 'post' even, in the Andaman Islands where there can be no competitor. But for the same reason (why others didn't come there) they wound it up.

    The history of this area of the world goes further than the Neolithic times, where several empires rose, stretched and overlapped one another, thus providing for the sharing of significant cultural and ethnic characteristics. There was often conflict between various family members over the areas they ruled, and thus as major world countries started expanding their boundaries, they looked at this area of the world to curry favor. Britain and Russia were two main contenders and often played the people of this area to gain favor for their home country.



    The history is long and convoluted to explain here and give a satisfactory summary. I am listing two sites that give a good "compact" history of details that will help answer your question and as this seems to be a school project, it will also provide maps showing some of the shifting borders through the ages, a point that will help anchor the answers to your questions.The third site give some great background info to understand how the history started.



    This area has a very rich and very long history that is interesting to learn about. It will help give some insight to the challenges the world faces when trying to understand current history of the area.



    All the best...

    When referring to the East India Company as Company do I capitalize Company?

    In my research paper on the East India Company I refer to the company just as "company", now do I need to capitalize "company" or do I just leave it aloneWhen referring to the East India Company as Company do I capitalize Company?
    You would not capitalize this.

  • When did the British East India company really become important and how quickly it replaced Hollands position?

    also, why Holland declined in importance as a trade nation? was Holland the capital region or Amsterdam was the capital city of the Hanseatic League during its existance?



    did the British east India company replace the Hanseatic League? or when and why it switched to London? and which other cities in Britain and why?



    how Holland became after and how much colony area it lost and why?



    thansk for your answers!When did the British East India company really become important and how quickly it replaced Hollands position?
    Hanseatic League is a purely a trade arrangement encompassing Baltic coast %26amp; the Netherlands. They had a chain of trading posts extending beyond, including one at London. These trading posts became significant enclaves. The London Kontor, established in 1320, stood west of London Bridge near Upper Thames Street.

    British (English) East India Company was given a Royal charter by Queen Elizabeth I. It started operations in India at Masulipatam (on East coast) %26amp; Surat (West coast) ports that lasted till 1857 when the Crown took over proclaiming the (England's) Queen Victoria as the Empress of Indian Empire. Gradually the Company's network of factories expanded. Then they built two forts - Fort St.George at a fishing hamlet that now is Chennai ('Madras' before) city. The other was Fort William near Kalighat, that grew up to Kolkata (Calcutta) city. Both were established in late 1600s. Then the Company started to dabble in local politics or rather they were sucked in it. Near Chennai they had this succession ot the throne of 'Carnatic' in issue. French too joined the rivalry. But the British won it and their protege became CarnaticNawab.

    Robert Clive (then Captain) played a prominent part and his clever strategy won for th British their position. In Bengal around Ft.William another succession war was played out for the Murshidabad throne. There was a war on the plains of Plassey (Palash is a popular native tree; called 'flame of the forest' due to its vermilion to orange coloured flowering in summer) in 1857m. Again Robert Clive won the war laying the foundation to the political career of the Company, who virtually ran the Bengal government with sole rights to collect taxes on behalf of Bengal Nawab. But in Buxaur war (1964), two hundred miles to the west they established their first province and firmed up the hold on Bengal that has become Company property. They established their capital at Ft.William and Col. Robert Clive became the Governor of Company possessions. His successor Warren Hastings expanded it like an Empire and assumed the title, 'Governor-General'.

    Holland (the Netherlands or 'Dutch') were not in India, but in Sumatra and Java Islands of present day Indonesia. Parallel to the 'Company' they had their own 'Dutch East India Company'.

    There were a few Dutch factories on South indian coast who quickly wound up operations to concentrate on their Island possessions of East Indies.Danish factory at a place called 'Tranquebar' the point where the coast juts towards the northern tip (Jaffna) of Sri Lanka. It was the only Danish presence in india and was finally closed.When did the British East India company really become important and how quickly it replaced Hollands position?
    You are getting a little confused here, I think. The Dutch East India company traded in the east as did the British East India Company The VOC as it was known was highly successful - it declined due to maladministration rather than anything else and was a spent force by the end of the 17th century having enjoyed success for about 200 years. The British East India Company was founded during the 16th century and operated in different sphers (principally the Indian mainland and was a private commercial enterprise that flourished until the middle of the 19th century when it went pear shaped due to the Indian mutiny. At this point the Crown stepped in and took over the company and the British Raj began - which would last another 100 years. It was administered from London's Leadenhall area and once nationalised the hq building was demolished soon after and is now the site of the iconic Lloyd's Insurance Building

    What is the date of East India Company establishment in India?

    I would like to know the right date when east India company established itself in India in 18th century.What is the date of East India Company establishment in India?
    Commercial company (1600鈥?873) chartered by Queen Elizabeth I and given a monopoly of trade between England and the Far East. In the 18th century, the company became, in effect, the ruler of a large part of India, and a form of dual control by the company and a committee responsible to Parliament in London was introduced by Pitt's India Act 1784. The end of the monopoly of China trade came in 1834, and after the Indian Mutiny 1857鈥?8 the crown took complete control of the government of British India. The India Act 1858 transferred all the company's powers to the British government.



    The East India Company set up factories (trading posts) in Masulipatam on the east coast of India in 1611; on the west coast in Surat in 1612; and on the east coast in Madras (now Chennai) in 1639. Attempts to set up a factory on the Hooghly (one of the mouths of the Ganges) began in 1640, but were unsuccessful until 1690; the settlement later developed into the city of Calcutta (now Kolkata). By 1652 there were some 23 English factories in India. Bombay (now Mumbai) came to the British crown in 1662, and was granted to the East India Company for 拢10 a year in 1668. The British victory in the Battle of Plassey in 1757 gave the company control of Bengal. By the East India Act of 1784 the government assumed more direct responsibility for British activities in India, setting up a board of control for India. The company continued to control commercial policy and lesser administration, but the British government became increasingly the effective ruler of India. Parliamentary acts of 1813 and 1833 ended the company's trade monopoly. Finally, after the Indian Mutiny of 1857鈥?8 the government assumed direct control, and the East India Company was dissolvedWhat is the date of East India Company establishment in India?

    Is there any relationship between the east India company and the 400% rise in opium production in Afghanistan?

    East India trading company --- drug smugglers who beat people by getting them addicted to stuff and then taking everything they had -- Entire nations



    Since NATO forces got to Afghanistan --- heroin production has increased 400 %



    Is there any relationship between this historical precedent and today ? Or are NATO forces just at a loss against the mud hut warriors of the Taliban ?Is there any relationship between the east India company and the 400% rise in opium production in Afghanistan?
    Yes, more than likely. Interesting point. They maybe fanatic radicals, but Taliban are definitely against the production of the Opium and managed to lower it drastically while they were in charge. Morphine extracted from Opium is probably the mother of all pain killers and it's expensive for being a rarity and hard to get. I wonder if it's considered a commodity in the black market just like gold and coffee are in the stock market.Is there any relationship between the east India company and the 400% rise in opium production in Afghanistan?
    I would not doubt it .

    There are rumors that the CIA has also gotten into the opium trade .
