holandsku istocnoindijsku kompaniju?

[borris_]

Da ali mi je cudno da su jedan vijek bili na prvom mjestu. Ali sigurno nije samo u pitanju velicina kolonija.

Zbog jednog ostrvceta čijim su dobijanjem ostvarili monopol u trgovini mušaktnim oraščićem, Holanđani su dali celokupnu severnoameričku koloniju, New Amsterdam included.

Holandjani su brzo skocili ali i brzo nestali. Oni su bili vise poznati po trgovackoj floti iako su pomorski vojno bili dosta jaki nakon sto su puno toga naucili od Spanaca od kojih su se odvojili tokom 16. veka. Plus su malo pokrali neko spansko blago koje im je bilo osnova za osnivanje kolonija i vaznih trgovackih centara.

Quote

In 1628, Admiral Hein, with Witte de With as his flag captain, sailed out to capture a Spanish treasure fleet loaded with silver from their American colonies and the Philippines. With him was Admiral Hendrick Lonck and he was later joined by a squadron of Vice-Admiral Joost Banckert, as well as by the pirate Moses Cohen Henriques. Part of the Spanish fleet in Venezuela had been warned because a Dutch cabin boy had lost his way on Blanquilla island and was captured and betrayed the plan, but the other half from Mexico continued its voyage, unaware of the threat. Sixteen Spanish ships were intercepted and captured: one galleon was taken after a surprise encounter during the night, nine smaller merchants were talked into a surrender; two fleeing small ships were taken at sea, and four fleeing galleons were trapped on the Cuban coast in the Bay of Matanzas.

After some musket volleys from Dutch sloops, the crews of the galleons also surrendered and Hein captured 11,509,524 guilders of booty in gold, silver, and other expensive trade goods, such as indigo and cochineal, without any bloodshed. The Dutch did not take prisoners: they gave the Spanish crews ample supplies for a march to Havana. The released were surprised to hear the admiral personally giving them directions in fluent Spanish; Hein after all was well acquainted with the region as he had been confined to it during his internment after 1603.

The capture of the treasure fleet was the Dutch West India Company's greatest victory in the Caribbean. The money funded the Dutch army for eight months (and as a direct consequence, allowing it to capture the fortress 's-Hertogenbosch), and the shareholders enjoyed a cash dividend of 50% for that year. Hein returned to the Netherlands in 1629, where he was hailed as a hero. Watching the crowds cheering him as he stood on the balcony of the town hall of Leyden, he remarked to the burgomaster: "Now they praise me because I gained riches without the least danger; but earlier when I risked my life in full combat they didn't even know I existed...". Hein was the first and the last to capture such a large part of a Spanish "silver fleet" from America.

 

Koliko znam, holandska Istocno-Indijska kompanija je tokom 17. veka bila najmocnija korporacija na svetu i komparativno jedna od najvecih u istoriji sveta do danasnjeg dana. Naravno zasnivala se na trgovackom monopolu i eksplataciji azijskih sirovina i zacina.

[dragance]

Pa problem imaju stanovnici Hong Konga koji su do sada imali sva prava, koja im se polako ukidaju, dok se njihova vrsta naprednjaka i botova bahati.

It's the first loss of life in at least 45 years and comes after weeks of tension between the two sides.
