In 1602, Holland founded the Dutch East India Company (Vereenigde Oostindische Compagnie or VOC), which became one of the world's first multinational corporations. This company was established to facilitate trade between the Netherlands and Asia, particularly in spices and other valuable commodities. The VOC played a significant role in the Dutch Golden Age, contributing to the Netherlands' wealth and influence in global trade. It also marked the beginning of a period of intense colonial expansion for the Dutch.
