	Jan Pieterszoon Coen - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Jan Pieterszoon Coen (8 January 1587 – 21 September 1629) was an officer of Dutch East India Company (VOC) in the early seventeenth century, holding two terms as its Governor-General of the Dutch East Indies.
		Coen was unpopular with many in his time on account of strict governance and a habit of harsh criticism, at times directed even at the 17 Lords of the VOC (for which he was reprimanded).
		Coen was born at Hoorn on 8 January 1587 and in 1601 travelled to Rome to study trade in the offices of Justus Pescatore.

		Coen was determined to do whatever lay in his power to enforce the Dutch monopoly even to the extend of using force.
		The final act of the drama however was delayed by the arrival in the archipelago in April 1620 of the news of the Anglo-Dutch treaty, news that must have certainly displeased the governor-general.
		No doubt Coen did establish the VOC monopoly in the Bandas and generally put Dutch power in the archipelago on a strong footing, but the way he did so was even in his own days not wholly uncriticized.

		Furthermore, Coen’s policy of eliminating the native planters and replacing them with Dutch colonists and attendant slaves led to a gradual deterioration of the nutmeg and mace harvest.

	The Boom of Colonial Investment:
		Instead, after 1618 beginning especially with Jan Pieterszoon Coen, sometimes called after his Portuguese precursor in the Indonesian archipelago "the Dutch Albuquerque", the Dutch dedicated themselves in their overseas operations to displacing others from existing trade, especially the Portuguese and British in the Indonesian seas, and to monopolising it for themselves.
		Colonies were considered necessary; Coen said that empire building in the archipelago served the Dutch national interest (Masselman, 1963).
		When Coen took command of the Company, he said that to improve performance in the Company it was necessary to consider the way the officials received their income and how much they received (Coen, Vol.1, see also Masselman, 1963).

		The Dutch East India Company, the Vereenigde Oost-Indische Campagnie (VOC), formed in 1602 out of various competing Dutch trading companies, was for long one of the biggest commercial enterprises in the world and probably the most profitable.
		From the company's headquarters in Batavia, Java, founded in 1619 (next to the Javanese town of Jakarta), the Dutch, commanded by the ruthless Jan Pieterszoon Coen (1618), carried out a master plan to monopolize the spice trade of the Moluccas (tody's Maluku).
		For this they had to oust the British, who already in 1601 were in the Bandas (a tiny archipelago that produced nutmeg); the Portuguese, who were in Ternate and then Tidore, the main suppliers of clove; and the Spaniards, who took over Portuguese operations.
