The Dutch East India Company (VOC) had been set up in the early seventeenth century to maximize Dutch trade interests in the Malay archipelago. By 1700, a colonial pattern was well established; the (VOC) had grown to become a state-within-a-state and the dominant power in the archipelago. Its method of indirect rule was to survive it. After the bankrupt company was liquidated on 1 January 1800, its territorial possessions became the property of the Dutch government.
[edit] Establishing a hegemonic Indies empire
In an 1811 to 1816 interregnum, during the Napoleonic Wars, the British took over administration of several Dutch East Indies posts including Java before Dutch control was restored. The 1824 Anglo-Dutch Treaty, ceded Dutch control of Malacca, the Malay Peninsula, and possessions in India to Britain in exchange for British settlements in Indonesia, such as Bengkulu in Sumatra. The resulting delineation of borders between British Malaya and the Dutch East Indies remains today between Malaysia and Indonesia, respectively. The capital of the Dutch East Indies was Batavia, now known as Jakarta, still capital of the republic.

The Dutch East India Company (Dutch: Verenigde Oost-Indische Compagnie, VOC) was chartered in 1602, amongst her main functions were to concentrate Dutch trade efforts under one directorate with a unified policy. In 1605, armed Dutch merchantmen captured the Portuguese fort at Amboyna in the Moluccas, which was developed into the first secure base of the VOC. In the Indies, the formation of Batavia ( Today’s Jakarta )on the north-west coast of Java in 1619 formed the permanent center from which Dutch trade in Asia was centered. It was indeed significant that VOC was founded based upon trade and mercantile interests rather than part of Dutch national colonization expansion programme. From it the Dutch had created an immense trade empire at the Far East.
Subsequently the Dutch conquered those trading ports of the East Indies: Malacca in 1641; Achem (Aceh) the native kingdom in Sumatra, 1667; Macassar, 1669; finally Bantam itself, 1682.And with the help of ports in India; the Dutch had started its influence on the spice trade by trading with pepper.
Dutch policy encouraged monoculture: Amboyna for cloves, Timor for sandalwood, the Bandas for mace and nutmeg, Ceylon for cinnamon with profits to be exchanged with silver from the Americas, which were more desirable in the East than in Europe..
Takeover by the Dutch government. On 14 January 1641 the Dutch took possession from the Portuguese of the fortress of Malacca, with the help of their ally the Sultan of Johore, whom have had treaties with the Dutch as a vengeance against the Portuguese. This was because the Johor Royal household hailed from Melaka , after the Portuguese conquered Melaka in 1511.However,the Johor Sultan were confident that after the victory over the Portuguese in Melaka, the Dutch would return the Malacca throne. But this was not to be. After the capture, the Dutch set up government in Malacca as it was too important for the VOC strategies, as the city was situated on the main trade route to the Far East (Spices islands, China and Japan).
A short time later the conquest of Melaka, the Dutch made trading agreements with several states of the Malay Peninsula, so as to obtain tin (Kedah 1642, Ujung Salang 1643, Bangkeri 1645, Perak).

Joan Baez $10.52 History’s ear hasn’t been kind to Joan Baez: in retrospect, set against the traditional voices whose material she interpreted, her own versions seem painfully pretty, her soprano icy and removed.

Released in 1960 after a triumphant Newport Festival appearance, the record had deep material and emotion that few o… |
