Answer:
The Dutch got independence on 26 July 1581 through the Eighty Years’ War from the Spanish Empire.
This Dutch war for independence closed the ports of Spain to the Dutch, and forced them into the direct trade with East Indies.
The war with Spain and the closing of Lisbon and Antwerp ports also compelled the English to enter directly into the Indian trade.
During the entire 16th century, the ports of Bruges, Antwerp, and Amsterdam became successively the great emporiums where Indian produce, imported by the Portuguese, was sold to Germany and even to England. In
the beginning both Dutch and English, attempted to find their way to India by sailing around the northern coast of Europe and Asia.
