The fur trade :)
Fur trade
Not a great deal, nowhere near what the Arabs and Islam did.
The main trade item of the French and the Dutch during the European exploration of the North and South America was fur. Beaver fur was abundant with good quality pelts.
The eighteenth century was post "golden-age", when the Dutch had the world's trading and arms capital. This century was one primarily focused on shipping.
As of 1940, the Dutch guilder was valued at approximately 0.44 USD. However, the value of historical currencies can fluctuate due to various factors such as inflation and economic conditions at the time.

Conditions for ordinary Dutch people got worse, and in 1945 many were starving.

The fur trade :)
Dutch settlers in the 17th century primarily made money through trade, including fur trading and agriculture like farming and fishing. They also developed industries such as shipbuilding and commerce, which further contributed to their wealth and economic success in the New World.

seems like an assaignment question...
'Leef en laat leven' is a Dutch equivalent of 'Live and let live'.The saying is considered to summarize the tolerant culture of the Netherlands in general. It also is applied as a description of the Dutch capital city in particular. Specifically, Amsterdam is the country's largest city. Its tremendous economic and social achievements owe some of their success to the ability of more than 176 nationalities to get along and work together.
