    The Dutch and the British West and East Indias Companies were who truelly transformed slavery into a mega industry and yet, there are still people who elogiate them for the money they made and at the same time criticize other countries who never achieved their gigantic numbers of traffic! This has to end, each one must assume its own responsability, or they will pass the guilt, racism and lies to the next generations...

    Very informative but it's historically accurate that small hats were the principal stockholders of DWIC and owned the ships. Founded in 1621, it's shares were already bought up by the end of the 17th century by one small group and they definitely weren't ⚪.

    Piet Hein's capture of the treasure/silver fleet also made the Dutch start an offensive towards the south. It basically established Dutch control over the regions now known as North Brabant and Zealandic Flanders, as well as a great number of exclaves in the area around Maastricht. Because nearly all inhabitants were Catholic due to the war, they never got any regional autonomy and the churches were taken. These are interesting things about history with globalization, and how one short event on the other side of the world has so much effect on the history of an area on the other side of the world.

    According to native Americans Dutch intercepted their trade by selling them liquir which influenced "way of life." Which refers to their spiritual traditions. Great video btw.

    In Brazil, this company is known for two things: The construction of infrastructure in what is now known as the northeast, mainly in Recife, capital of the new Netherlands.
    And also for the slave trade, when they invaded the city of Luanda in Angola to be able to bring slaves to the new Netherlands (Brazil).

    Also speaking about dutch brazil, do the dutches learn about it at School? Here in brazil, specially in our northeast, the dutch colonization is “celebrated “.

      Don't know how it is today, but I never learned this in Dutch school. I was amazed when I first read about this. I get that secondary schools can't cover everything, but this is a pretty sad omission.
      What I didn't know until I read your comment is that this heritage is still celebrated in Recife. I will have to go there some day.

    • @lucast.6316
      @lucast.6316 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I mean its not celebrated as a popular party or something, but every history teacher i had, said that it was the best age of the northeast of brazil, which nowadays is of the pourest parts in our Country.
      Maurício de nassau built a sewer system , and observatorium, improved the water system, declarated freedom of religion and so many other things
      I think he stayed as the representative of the WIC from 1644-1654 and he was removed from the charge due to some internal crisis with the company and i due to some financerial crisis from the 30 years war and due to the governament from Oliver Cromwell who dissalowed foreign boats to merchandise in england ( and the dutchs were good sailors and had a huge profit in trading)

    If batavia was the capital city for Dutch East Indies. So where was the capital city of Dutch West Indies?

    • @HistoryHustle
      @HistoryHustle  5 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      That is actually a very good question I haven't thought of. I think there was not one capital of the Dutch West Indies. Because I believe the trade was different. The VOC traded mostly spices that came from all over the East Indies (even products from China and Japan) that it needed a central hub which became Batavia (now Jakarta). As for the West Indies it did a lot of slave trading that had its base on Curaçao with its main city of Willemstad. It is very interesting to dive into the different styles of colonization carried out by the VOC and WIC and comparing them. It requires me further reading and thinking. If I have some more concrete anwers I'll get back to this question. Thanks for posting!

    Edit
    Jodensavanne (Dutch, "Jewish Savanna") was a Jewish plantation community in Suriname, South America, and was for a time the centre of Jewish life in the colony. It was established in the 1600s by Sephardi Jews and became more developed and wealthy after a group of Jews fleeing persecution in Brazil settled there in the 1660s.[2] It was located in what is now Para District, about 50 km (31 mi) south of the capital Paramaribo, on the Suriname River. Sugarcane plantations were established by forcing Black African people to work as slaves. At its height in around 1700, Jodensavanne was home to roughly 500 plantation owners and 9000 enslaved people.[3] The colony faced regular attacks from Indigenous people, slave revolts, and even raids from the French navy.[4] The community eventually relocated to the capital of Paramaribo. Clearing of grave sites and maintenance of the synagogue ruins has been attempted at various times from the 1940s to the 21st century.[3]
