25 май 1623 г. - English / Dutch Rivalry

Описание:

English and Dutch competitions continued in the Spice Islands. The Dutch had an advantage over the English as they were well established. The competition and confrontation led to an incident in 1623 when the Dutch executed many English prisoners, after which the English decided to scale down their operation in the Indonesian archipelago and focus their attention on India instead for textile trade rather than spice.
