Dutch took control of Indonesian Islands :)
The spice of particular importance to the Dutch from the Spice Islands was nutmeg. During the 17th century, the Dutch sought to control the lucrative nutmeg trade, as it was highly valued for its use in cooking, medicine, and preservation. The Dutch established a monopoly over nutmeg production by taking control of the Banda Islands, where it was primarily grown, significantly boosting their economic power during the period.
Indonesia is belong to all Indonesian. -Indonesian People-
The Netherlands began to colonize Indonesia in the 17th century, specifically starting in 1602 when the Dutch East India Company (VOC) was established. This marked the beginning of extensive Dutch trade and territorial expansion in the region, which continued for several centuries. The Dutch gradually took control over various islands, leading to a formal colonial administration by the late 19th century.
Bali was inhabited by about 2000 BC by Austronesian peoples who migrated originally from Taiwan through Maritime Southeast Asia. In 1597 the Dutch explorer Cornelis de Houtman arrived at Bali and, with the establishment of the Dutch East India Company in 1602, the stage was set for colonial control two and a half centuries later when Dutch control expanded across the Indonesian archipelago throughout the second half of the nineteenth century.
The first European power to colonize Indonesia were the Dutch rulers who came from netherlands. The Indonesian islands were then knoen as the Dutch East Indies. At first, the Dutch East Indies were controled by the Dutch East Indoa Company. But after the breakdown of the company, the Netherlands' government took the direct control of the Dutch East Indies. The Dutch rule over the Indonesia ended during the World War II when the Japanese took the control of the East Indies. At this time, they actually became known as Indonesia. The British were also looking at for colonizing the East Indies.
the Dutch East India Company
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.
