Answers

Answered by GPT-4o mini
The VOC, or the Dutch East India Company (Vereenigde Oostindische Compagnie), was a trading company established in the early 17th century that played a significant role in trade between Europe and Asia. The leadership of the VOC was organized through a series of directors known as "Heeren XVII" (Gentlemen Seventeen), which was a board comprised of representatives from different chambers of the VOC.

One of the most notable leaders of the VOC was Jan Pieterszoon Coen, who served as the governor-general of the company in the early 17th century and was instrumental in establishing its dominance in the Southeast Asian spice trade. He is often credited with securing the company's foothold in places like Jakarta (then Batavia) in present-day Indonesia.
