Dutch East India Trading Company: 1602 Created by Holland regents—they seized the powerful parts of Africa such as The Cape of Good Hope, Ceylon, & Malacca. They traded with not only Africa, but parts of Latin America and East Asia. Though created in 1602, officially founded in 1621—this trading company brought the Dutch much wealth and prosperity. Later, as trade grew, the Dutch found themselves involved in imperialist exploitation of East Asia and Africa. McKay, John P, etc al. __A History of Western Societies.__ Boston, Massachutes.
