11:46Now PlayingWhy did the Dutch abolished slave trade not until 1863. The Dutch West India Company (WIC) was important in Dutch history. The WIC transported many African slaves across the Atlantic Ocean in the so-called transatlantic slave trade. 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 1621 the Dutch West India Company (WIC – West-Indische Compagnie) was established and brought great wealth to the Dutch Republic. Yet, many people suffered. An estimated 600,000 enslaved Africans were transported across the Atlantic Ocean on Dutch ships. Only in 1863 the Dutch abolished slavery, long after Spain, Great-Britain and France did.
