The Dutch established their presence in the Caribbean in the early 17th century primarily for economic reasons, seeking to profit from trade, particularly in goods like sugar, which was highly profitable at the time. Additionally, they wanted to challenge the dominance of the Spanish and Portuguese in the region and secure strategic bases for their expanding empire.
The Dutch established trading posts in various locations around the world, including Indonesia (formerly the Dutch East Indies), South Africa (Cape Colony), Suriname, the Caribbean (such as Dutch Guiana), and the Indian subcontinent (such as Dutch Bengal). They also had a presence in regions like Japan, Brazil, and the United States.
The Dutch taught the valuable skills of growing and processing sugarcane to the Barbadians in order to establish profitable sugar plantations in the Caribbean. By sharing their expertise, the Dutch hoped to increase sugar production and expand their influence in the region, ultimately benefiting economically from the trade of sugar.
