When was the Dutch East India Company founded?

Answer

The Dutch East India Company is a trading company established by the United Provinces in 1602. For almost two centuries it was one of the pillars of the power of Dutch capitalism and imperialism. Dissolved in 1799, the company is known to have been one of the most powerful capitalist enterprises that ever existed, contributing greatly to the history of stock exchanges.
