The Dutch took control of the spice trade by establishing the Dutch East India Company (VOC) in the early 17th century. The VOC used superior naval power to gain control of key spice-producing regions in Southeast Asia, particularly the Moluccas (Spice Islands), and monopolized the trade by enforcing exclusive contracts with local rulers. The Dutch also developed trading posts and fortresses to protect their interests and expand their influence in the region.

The Dutch period refers to the time when the Netherlands had significant political and economic influence in various parts of the world, particularly during the Dutch Golden Age in the 17th century. This period was marked by Dutch colonial expansion, trade dominance, and cultural flourishing. The Dutch East India Company played a key role in establishing Dutch control over territories in Asia, Africa, and the Americas.
Brazil was positioned economically well on the map. It has very good plantations to grow crops. And it is near Africa, so as to trade in slaves. This means cheap labor. That was the reason the Dutch and Portugese fought over Brazil. In the course of history these two colonial superpowers have fought over many countries, including Indonesia as well.
The Dutch established several colonies in America during the 17th century, including New Amsterdam (present-day New York) and a number of trading posts along the Hudson River and Delaware River. These colonies were primarily driven by trade and aimed to establish a profitable fur trade with Native Americans. However, they ultimately lost control of their American holdings to the English.
The Dutch mainly focused on trade with the natives for fur, while the Spanish colonizers often imposed forced labor and conversion to Christianity on the natives. Both groups also had conflicts with the indigenous populations over land and resources.

The Dutch
The Netherlands used to be under the Spanish crown, so after their 80 years war, there was hostilities between the now independent Dutch state and Spain. Spain won control over the Iberian Peninsula after the Reconquista, which meant they had control over Lisbon as well. King Phillip II closed the ports to the Lisbon spice market because the Dutch did not agree with his taxes or the inquisition. Basically just beef between the two countries.
