In the 17th century and the Dutch East Indies 18 are not controlled directly by the Dutch government but by commercial companies named [[VOC | Dutch East India Company]] ([[Dutch language]]:''''Verenigde East India Company or VOC) . VOC has been given monopoly rights to trade and colonial activities in the area by the Dutch Parliament in the year [[1602]]. Headquarters are in [[Batavia]], which is now named [[Jakarta]].

The main goal is to maintain the VOC [[monopoly]] s of [[spice trade]] in the archipelago. This is done through the use and threat of violence against the population in the island producing [[spices]], and of those non-Dutch people who tried to trade with these residents. For example, when the population [[Banda Islands]] continue to sell the [[head | nutmeg]] to the English merchants, the Dutch troops to kill or deport almost the entire population and then populating the islands with the servants or slaves who worked in nutmeg plantation.

VOC became involved in the internal politics of Java in this period, and fought in several wars involving the leaders of [[Mataram]] and [[Jakarta]].
