Dutch East India Company

Imperialism In India Off in the distance you hear gunshots, screaming, and army officials yelling at weak, starved, unarmed Indians. This is what life was like in 1757-1947 India. British control of India started as a small trading outpost named the British East India Company. As the Moghal Empire of India collapsed in 1707, India had no government or rule and chaos broke out. The British East India Company saw this and sent in a small army of British troops to take control of small cities.…

collapsed, and the British East India Company took over. They ruled for 150 years, and it wasn't until 1857 that the sepoys rebelled against them, and the British East India Company called into the British government, who brought armed forces, and took over India. In their time of power, Britain created an efficient government, they built thousands of miles of railroad tracks all throughout India, and they gave them the opportunity to learn at Oxford and Cambridge. Despite that, India had almost…

opportunities granted by the unification as well. Now Scots could now join the East India Trading Company as employees and investors and were not barred by the Navigation acts and merchants could now go to the colonies directly for trade.

Both science and technology had a very profound role on the East India Company’s (EIC) rule over India, as well as added to the economy. Some background – with the EIC’s help, the British first took over areas in India starting with Bengal, located in northeast India today, and then moving down to the southern parts of India as well. They acquired some more territories in northern India after. Expansion to India eventually slowed down; however, once they stopped acquiring as much territory, they…

British, Dutch, and Portuguese were off to the races. Similarly to the British, Hollands government encouraged rival merchant companies to unify in order to create a government-run monopoly. Their only goal: to make money. With a stable financial backing and a stronger fleet, the Dutch quickly rose to power in the Asian trade market and was considered the first truly transnational corporation. Sparked by the emerging spice trade in the East Indies during the 17th and 18th century, the Dutch East…

My goal is to work with the Dutch East India Company to explore more efficient trade routes to North America in an effort to make trade with the Native Americans. There are a few essential skills and abilities that are needed to be qualified for this task, and I believe that I possess them. To begin, at a very young age I was well educated about navigation, which has helped me in the past to make many voyages around the world. I think that it is crucial to understand how to properly navigate in…
