The Dutch East India Company, or Vereenigde Oost-Indische Compagnie (VOC), was established in 1602 to protect Dutch trade in the Indian Ocean and to assist in the Netherlands' war with Spain. From the early 17th to the late 18th centrury, the VOC imported close to 43 million pieces of Chinese porcelain and transported other commodities and enslaved people throughout Africa and Asia.
