- Abstract
The Netherlands endeavored to build its own power in order to compete with other European powers, taking advantage of its economic superiority. This allowed it to emerge as a powerful nation in the sixteenth century and enter the stage as a rival to other European powers. The Netherlands competed with European powers in geographic explorations that led to global expansion, control and influence, which focused on North and South America in the west, and Africa and Asia in the east. The ambitious Dutch presence in the East led to the establishment of the Dutch East India Company with a military presence aimed to monopolize spice trade and other products of Asian countries. The Netherlands later undertook to expand to new areas in the Far East of Asia such as China, and later on Persia, and the Arabian Gulf between Basra in the north and Muscat in the south. This study aims to describe the European competition in the East and the Arabian Gulf. It endeavors to show whether the Dutch were more equipped and organized compared to other European powers, and whether their presence had a significant profit for them. The study uses a historical method to trace the chronology of the period of the Dutch presence, and a descriptive method to track the management-related political and security problems that led to their decline and ultimate disappearance in the region.
