		The history of the Dutch East India Company from its formation in 1602 until its dissolution in 1798 is filled, until the close of the 17th century, with wars and diplomatic relations.
		Its trade was divided into the grand trade between Europe and the East, which was conducted in convoys sailing from and returning to Amsterdam; and the Indies to Indies or coasting trade between its possessions and native ports.

	Colonial Knowledge and Indigenous Power in the Dutch East Indies
		The Dutch, in as much as their rhetoric emphasized indigenous rule, were in the position of privilege that allowed them to define and redefine what that role should be.
		Throughout these changes, the Dutch maintained that they were simply trying to preserve the indigenous system of rule, and by the early twentieth century had, in effect, created a class of rulers who had become more extractive in their relationship toward their subjects, and at the same time demanded ever more deferential treatment from them.
		Although the Dutch were keen to maintain the status of the bupati vis à vis their subjects, they forced them into the position of becoming a large cog in the colonial machine: in a sense turning them into tools of Dutch administration.

		The Dutch Indies government’s interim advisor for native affairs, R.A. Kern, even spoke of "a milestone in the Muhammadan movement in this country."[1] For a few years these issues kept Indonesian Muslim leaders occupied and caused splits in the ranks; then suddenly the caliphate issue dropped from the agenda, never to reappear.
		The chief vehicles of Abdulhamid's pan-Islamic propaganda in the East Indies were the Ottoman consuls in Singapore and Batavia, and to a much lesser extent the Indonesian hajis, returning to the Indies after performing the pilgrimage, in some cases followed by a long residence in Mecca.
		Dutch Indies officials were highly suspicious of the hajis, many of whom they considered as anti-government agitators.

		It was given a monopoly on Dutch trade in the Indonesian archipelago, and certain sovereign rights such as the creation of an army and a fleet.
		The company's main base was Batavia in Java (Indonesia); ships sailed there via the Cape of Good Hope, a colony founded by the company in 1652 as a staging post.
		During the 17th and 18th centuries the company used its monopoly of East Indian trade to pay out high dividends, but wars with England and widespread corruption led to a suspension of payments in 1781 and a takeover of the company by the Dutch government in 1798.
