| | Amboina to Zealand and All Points In-Between: The Dutch East India Company, 1602-1798 |
 | | Dutch mastery of the Indian Ocean brought Asia into the world economy as no one else would - by the end of the great Dutch century, Asia and Europe were inextricably linked on a massive scale. | | | Yet the VOC somehow held on, a shadow of what it had been, until the Dutch government finally paid the remaining debts and absorbed what was left in 1798 (Masselman 468). | | | These seventeen men were all successful merchants, not government representatives, thus putting the VOC firmly in the hands of experience, even if some of the gains to be had from trade were political (Masselman 147). |

| | Officials had expressed thanks and given presents after the defeat of Kuiqi, but then new officials had arrived, claiming to know nothing of their predecessors' promises. | | | Whereas before they had competed against illegal and loosely affiliated pirate organizations, they now faced a cohesive structure buttressed by claims of legitimacy, and Zheng was able to do what his predecessors had failed to do: remove the Dutch from Taiwan. | | | Pirates have long flourished in the China Seas, especially during the Ming dynasty (1368–1644), whose officials viewed the ocean as they did the Great Wall: as a barrier to keep foreign barbarians out of China. |

| | According to one United States government report, Oppenheimer was even considering dumping several tons of these diamonds into the North Sea to prevent them from reaching the market in the event that his company was forced into liquidation by his creditors. | | | For most Jews, there was no choice in those days: If they wanted to have a vocation, it had to be either gem-polishing or money lending. | | | To select and evaluate these diamonds, the courts chose Jewish gem experts, who became known as "Court Jews." In Sweden, it was the Isaac family; in Hamburg, it was the Lippold family; in Vienna, it was the Oppenheim family. |

| | The Company had a federal character, comprising six chambers. | | | Hence in 1652 the VOC sent a group of Dutchmen under the command of one Jan van Riebeeck to set up a refreshment station and to provide facilities for crew who had fallen ill to diseases such as scurvy on the long journeys between Holland and East Asia. | | | Many an East Asian country, such as Indonesia, that had been colonised by the Dutch because of the VOC project, still have to deal with the legacy of colonisation and slavery four hundred years later. |
