The Dutch East India Company (VOC) established a monopoly over the spice trade by strategically controlling key trade routes and establishing fortified trading posts in critical locations such as the Indonesian archipelago. They employed military force to eliminate competition, including rival European powers and local traders, and engaged in direct agreements with local rulers to secure exclusive trading rights. Additionally, the VOC implemented a system of stringent regulation and surveillance over spice production and distribution, ensuring that they maintained dominance in the lucrative market. This combination of military, economic, and diplomatic strategies allowed the VOC to effectively monopolize the global spice trade during the 17th century.

In 1300 Italy was not yet a state , but a myriad of independent feudal seignories, city states, maritime republics, the States of the Church and states subject to foreign monarchies. Therefore Italy as a whole had no monopoly. The Maritime Republics of Genoa, Venice, Pisa had the monopoly of the maritime routes to the Mediterranean Eastern States, that means they had also the monopoly of the spice trade.
The Italian Trade monoply accoured during the three worlds meet [Europe Africa and North America]. They would trasde goods. Per-say a special spice to be brought from Africa to Europe. It would travel from market to market until given to the buyer. If the price started at 1.50, it would be sold at 1.50 to the next market. But that market would bring up the price, maybe to, let's say, 1.75. Eventually the price of the spice's transportation from Africa to Europe would sky rocket, making a 1.50 priced spice go to 7.75. This is called the Italian Trade Monopoly; it made the Italians gain wealth but other's not. This made other countries angry, which of course led to the end of this trade- leading to more transportation on water to get these goods.
