The Dutch get to Bantam 6 years ahead of the English who arrived in 1602. Their own United East India Company (VOC) wants to monopolise European trade in fine spices. The VOC tries to prevent the English from trading directly with the Spice Islands of the Bandas and the Moluccas in eastern Indonesia, a source of valuable cloves, nutmegs and mace. In 1623, on the clove island of Amboina, the Dutch torture and execute English and Japanese traders.

Weavers, dyers and linen drapers in England protest that imports of Indian cloth are threatening their own industries. Initially, the Company responds by re-exporting Asian textiles to other countries in Europe. But market forces soon overshadow the cries of protesters, and Asian textiles continue to be hugely popular in England throughout the 18th century.

The Company begins to trade with Canton, importing silk, tea and porcelain from China. In England, the demand for tea booms, and by the late 1700s tea accounts for more than 60 per cent of the Company's total trade. Having initially traded tea for silver, the English are concerned that too much silver is leaving their shores. They begin to trade the illegal and highly addictive drug opium, introducing a widespread drug problem in China. Millions of Chinese will die from the drug as a result.

Once the Company takes control, land taxes triple and many Indians are left living in terrible poverty. Millions die in a famine, and over the next 2 decades, millions more are dispossessed of their land.
