Seems legit.

did (((they))) controll VOC?
Adrian Torres
Do you know anything about our history?
Dutch invented stock market system through the VOC, it charged tax from everyone around the country both rich, middle and lower classes.
Hence they had a huge war chest and a early head start on the old empires i.e. UK, Spain, France.
Because bankrolling wars, reparing ships etc costs a lot of money.
So minimizing the risk (because everyone was literally a shareholder in this enterprise) meant that when ships with spices and loot returned from asian and the americas everyone profited because all the provinces would reap a profit based on how much they payed in the first place.
So quality of life didn't just improve for the rich but also the lower and middle classes.

As you can see here for nearly 300 years Netherlands was richest of the world until UK with a pool of 8-10x more people copied the system

do YOU know your history?
the Jews left Spain during the inquisition and went to Poland and THE NETHERLANDS
Hell, the whole reformation was just Catholics adopting the practices of Jews.
Parker Collins
Time to bring it back!!!
Jayden Flores
>Jews went to the Netherlands
Doesn't mean the founders of the VoC were jewish. Which for you information, they weren't.
Joseph Jackson
Thanks for outfitting Napoleon's armies again Dutchfriend, you guys apparentely still were super rich before after and during the Napoleonic wars *obviously* you weren't just a cash cow for the Napoleonic empire and were completely pillaged.
The unie of Utrecht guaranteed religious peace and after the act of abjugation they no longer had a catholic king, therefore jews started coming to Holland. Not the other way around as you are suggesting here.
Henry Cruz
Also don't forget the total economic collapse during 1672

Wrong.

We are major jews, our country is small and insignificant but we are good at jewing ourselves into succes.

I think the VoC was a pretty cool guy, creating trade networks all over the east and doesn't afraid of anything.
The lessons from its rise are stuff that are applied nowadays by all multinationals and Russian oligarchs.
The lesson from it's downfall is to treat your employees well and take measures against corruption, free trade is key for trade companies and at some point you need to think about decentralizing your power.

We used to have excellent methods of keeping them in check. We have been the largest muslim country on earth until 1949 with basically no terrorism. It's all about a zero tolerance policy and recognising the weaknesses of muslim minds. I believe your general Pershing did something similar in the Philippines.

I wish I could travel back in time and hang out with these guys tbqh.

I visited the replica VOC ship Batavia in Sydney Harbour many years ago, it was an amazing experience.
The VOC was fairly based to be honest, they didn't fuck around with trading rivals as many dead Englishmen would attest to in the 1600s.
