The Dutch East India Company, known as the VOC (Vereenigde Oostindische Compagnie), was the most powerful trading company of the early modern world and is often considered the first multinational corporation in history. Founded in 1602, the VOC controlled vast trade networks across Asia, Africa, and the Indian Ocean, shaping global commerce and colonial expansion.
