  • Small 18th Century Dutch Colonial Documents Trunk with Brass Mounts

Founded in 1602, the V.O.C. was the first conglomerate, with operations in trading, production, shipbuilding, and shipping. The massive organization helped usher the Netherlands into becoming an international force. After the death of William III in 1702, the Dutch lost their standing as a world power, and combined with poor financial management, resulted in a slow decline of the VOC between 1720 and 1799.
