Dutch West India Company Warehouse, 17th Century

Dutch West India Company was a chartered company of Dutch merchants. In 1621, it was granted a charter for a trade monopoly in the West Indies and given jurisdiction over the African slave trade, Brazil, the Caribbean, and North America. The area where the company could operate consisted of West Africa (between the Tropic of Cancer and the Cape of Good Hope) and the Americas, which included the Pacific Ocean and the eastern part of New Guinea. The intended purpose of the charter was to eliminate competition, particularly Spanish or Portuguese, between the various trading posts established by the merchants. The company became instrumental in the Dutch colonization of the Americas.

Dutch West India Company Warehouse, 17th Century
Légende:
Traduction automatique: La Compagnie néerlandaise des Indes occidentales était une société à charte de marchands néerlandais. En 1621, il obtint une charte pour un monopole commercial aux Antilles et eut juridiction sur la traite négrière africaine, le Brésil, les Caraïbes et l'Amérique du Nord. La zone dans laquelle l'entreprise pouvait opérer comprenait l'Afrique de l'Ouest (entre le tropique du Cancer et le cap de Bonne-Espérance) et les Amériques, qui comprenaient l'océan Pacifique et la partie orientale de la Nouvelle-Guinée. Le but recherché de la charte était d'éliminer la concurrence, notamment espagnole ou portugaise, entre les différents comptoirs établis par les marchands. L'entreprise a joué un rôle déterminant dans la colonisation néerlandaise des Amériques.
