Slide 5 - Drag question

the WIC (1621):
- Trade with America and West Africa
(slavetrade)
- Privateering (against Spain and Portugal)
  
Due to a lot of competition from other countries, the WIC never became as successful as the VOC.
 
In 1628, Captain Piet Hein managed to deal a heavy blow to Spain by capturing the Silver Fleet (a fleet of a load of silver used to pay for the war).




The engraving shows the conquest of the treasure fleet led by Admiral Piet Heyn in the bay of Matanzas. In September 1628, the Silver Fleet ran into Piet Hein's fleet. This almost immediately succeeds in capturing nine ships. The other ships that are part of the Silver Fleet flee into Mantanzas Bay on the north coast of Cuba. However, Piet Hein and his men soon manage to conquer these ships as well. The loot consists of gold, pearls, merchandise and 177,000 pounds of silver representing a total value of 11.5 million guilders.

Slide 6 - Slide

the territories of the WIC
In order to participate in the triangular trade between Europe, Africa and America, the WIC took possession of territories.
 
In WIC possession remained Suriname, African coastal forts and the Antillean islands.

Blue areas = sphere of influence of the WIC
Green areas = sphere of influence of the VOC
New Netherland: founded as a colony in 1624 and formally ceded (in practice exchanged for Suriname) to England at the Peace of Breda in 1667.
Nederlands-Brazilië was van 1630 tot 1654 een Nederlandse kolonie in Zuid-Amerika, het huidige Brazilië. Werd gesticht nadat Piet Hein de Spaanse zilvervloot had veroverd en de West-Indische Compagnie veel geld had. In 1654 werd de kolonie terugveroverd door de Portugezen.
Suriname: De Britse kolonie Willoughbyland werd in februari 1667 veroverd door de Zeeuw Abraham Crijnssen; Willoughbyland werd hernoemd naar Suriname. Suriname kwam – nadat de Engelsen de kolonie kortstondig hadden overgenomen – wederom in handen van de Republiek der Verenigde Nederlanden na de Tweede Engels-Nederlandse Oorlog. Bij de Vrede van Breda kreeg de Republiek de soevereiniteit over Suriname in ruil voor Nieuw-Nederland dat door de Engelsen werd hernoemd tot New York.
Dutch Antilles: these West Indian islands were colonized by the WIC from about 1634 to 1792. This colonial status came to an end when on December 15, 1954, after eight years of negotiations, the Statute for the Kingdom of the Netherlands was signed by the Netherlands, Suriname and the Netherlands Antilles. On Nov. 25, 1975, Suriname became an independent state and since then the Kingdom of the Netherlands consisted of the Netherlands and the Netherlands Antilles.
 Goldcoast: In the Gold Coast Treaty of Feb. 25, 1871, the Dutch factories on the Gold Coast were sold to the British for 47,000 guilders. In return, the Netherlands received assurances that the British would not intervene in efforts to capture Aceh in northern Sumatra.
