The British and Dutch primarily targeted trade with countries in Asia, particularly those in the Indian subcontinent, Southeast Asia, and East Asia. Key regions included India, the Spice Islands (present-day Indonesia), and China, where valuable commodities such as spices, silk, and tea were in high demand. The competition for trade routes and resources led to significant colonial ventures and conflicts between the two powers during the 17th and 18th centuries.
