Dutch Social Structure
When the Dutch economy transformed, the social structure of the Dutch also transformed and became more complex. This was marked by the predominance of the business class, later called bourgeois. The Dutch elite were mostly just wealthy townspeople who made profit as merchants and financiers. The common people were made up of numerous classes of artisans and businesspeople. There was a loss of a very large class of sailors, shipbuilders, fishermen, and etc.
Muslim-European Rivalry in the Indian Ocean
Muslim traders had traditionally dominated trade across large portions of the Indian Ocean. European trading post empires in the region challenged that dominance. The Omani Empire: In the 18th and 19th centuries, the Muslim Omanis successfully challenged European power in the Western Indian Ocean. By the mid-17th century, Omani tribes had removed Portuguese influence from the coastal city of Muscat in the Omani homeland. In 1696, the Omani fleet attacked Portuguese Mombasa in Swahili along Africa’s east coast. They lay siege to Fort Jesus. After 33 months, the Portuguese garrison inside died of hunger. From 1696 to 1856, the Omani Empire became a dominant non-European trading power along the East African and the Arabian Sea coasts. The decline of Omani influence: Omani power declined when rivalries developed within the ruling family, leading to competing groups claiming different territories. Europeans took control of the Omani regions during the Scramble for Africa in the late 19th century.
System of Government
The Dutch republic was divided into 7 northern provinces that won their independence from Spain from 1568 to 1609. In the next couple of centuries political control consistently shifted between the Holland province and the Princes of Oranges provinces.
Dutch and Columbian Exchange
The Dutch named their colony New Netherlands because it was used as a fur-trading outpost and helped expand the Dutch East India Company. The Dutch colony later expanded in the area and created more trading posts. This allowed the Iroquois and Algonquain peoples to exchange goods and brought the Dutch and Native peoples into an Alliance. The Dutch soon became a trade hub for the whole Atlantic world.
Exploration of the Arctic
In 1594, the Dutch explorer Willem Barentsz led an expedition to the Arctic in search of a northeast passage to Asia. In the 17th century, the Dutch began to establish whaling stations in the Arctic, where they hunted for whales and processed their oil for use as fuel and lamp oil.
Exploration of the East Indies
The Dutch were among the first Europeans to explore and trade with the East Indies, and they established colonies and trading posts in present-day Indonesia, Malaysia, and Singapore. They were able to gain significant wealth and influence through the trade in spices, gold, and other valuable resources.
Motivations For Exploration
1. Wealth: European powers were seeking new sources of gold, silver, and other valuable resources. They also wanted to establish trade routes and connections with other countries in order to increase their own wealth and the wealth of their sponsoring states. 2. Pursuit of power: European powers saw exploration as a way to expand their empires and increase their global influence. By establishing colonies and trade routes, they could gain more control over distant regions and gain a strategic advantage over their rivals. 3. Quest for knowledge: Many explorers were driven by a desire to learn about the world and to discover new lands, peoples, and cultures. They wanted to explore the unknown and bring back information and artifacts that could help to expand human knowledge. 4. Spread of Christianity 5. Adventure
