7:20Now PlayingThe Dutch East India Company (VOC) was important in Dutch history. In the history of the Netherlands the Golden Age is a vital time for the rise of the Dutch Republic in the 17th century. The Dutch Golden Age (Gouden Eeuw) commensed when the Dutch provinces led by Holland were revolting against Spain in the so-called Dutch Revolt. In the Dutch history this revolt is also know as the Eighty Years' War (Tachtigjarige Oorlog) and took place in the Low Countries. In 1588 the Dutch Republic (Republiek der Zeven Verenigde Nederlanden) was established.
In 1602 the Dutch East India Company (VOC – Vereenigde Oostindische Compagnie) and the Dutch West India Company (WIC – West-Indische Compagnie) were established and brought great wealth to the Dutch Republic. Yet, many people suffered. For example under Dutch commander Jan Pieterszoon Coen. He became Governor-General of the Dutch East Indies. Under his orders Jakarta (on Java island) was burned down to make way for the VOC capital Batavia.
