	Danish East India Company - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		It was focused on trade with India and had its base in Trankebar, in the fort Dansborg, the seat of its governor (see indirect rule) of Danish India, who was styled Opperhoved.
		In 1732, it was refounded as Asiatische Compagnie ("Asiatic Company"), yet in 1772 it lost its monopoly, and in 1779 Danish India became a crown colony.
		As a consequence of the last attack, Denmark (one of few West European countries not occupied by Bonaparte) lost its entire fleet and the island of Helgoland (part of the duchy of Holstein-Gottorp; ceded to Germany in 1890).

		The most important of the companies were given charters by their respective governments, authorizing them to acquire territory wherever they could and to exercise in the acquired territory various functions of government, including legislation, the issuance of currency, the negotiation of treaties, the waging of war, and the administration of justice.
		The East India Company, however, bought control of this new company, and in 1702 an act of Parliament amalgamated the two as “The United Company of Merchants of England Trading to the East Indies.” The charter was renewed several times in the 18th century, each time with financial concessions to the Crown.
		In 1784 the India Act created a department of the British government to exercise political, military, and financial control over the Indian affairs of the company, and during the next half century British control was extended over most of the subcontinent.

		It was not until 1768 that the Danish government at Tranquebar decided upon a second attempt to colonise the Nicobars (Möller 1797:502, Latrobe 1812:9) under the leadership of the Moravian Gottlieb Volker (Struwe 1967:265).
		One of the brothers always officially held the post of "Danish Royal Resident", patented by the King (Haensel 1812:66).[20] Hence, besides missionary work, the Moravian brothers were somehow "obliged" as far as possible to protect the interest of the King and his property against foreigners and to ensure fair trading conditions in the islands.
		Finally, the wars in south India between the English and the Marathas in the 1780s created an extremely uncongenial environment for Danish trade.It took another ten years for the company directors in Copenhagen to draw appropriate conclusions from the trade situation and close their centre at Tranquebar in 1796 (Feldbraek 1991:13).
