The answer is the Netherlands

Answered by ruthheartbreak | 2024-06-10

The Dutch, primarily through the Dutch East India Company (VOC), controlled trade in the East Indies from 1602. The VOC established strategic colonies, operated military forces to defend trade routes, and monopolized the spice market, especially after seizing key ports from the Portuguese. Their effective trading strategies and military presence allowed them to dominate this lucrative trade area.
