 Dutch West India Company - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
On June 3, 1621, it was granted a charter for a trade monopoly in the West Indies (meaning the Caribbean) by the Republic of the Seven United Netherlands and given jurisdiction over the African slave trade, Brazil, the Caribbean, and North America.
The WIC was organised similar to the (far greater and richer) Dutch East India Company (VOC), which had a trade monopoly for Asia (mainly present Indonesia) since 1602, except for the fact that the WIC was not allowed to conduct military operations without approval of the Dutch government.
After the English took control of Suriname for several years in the 1780s, the WIC appeared unable to recover from this, and in 1791, the stocks of the company were bought by the Dutch government, and the territories were placed under its control.
