| For 143 years after European settlement in 1652 the Cape of Good Hope was governed by the Dutch East India Company (VOC), a chartered company of the United Provinces of the Netherlands. It was the rise of the modern nation state in the sixteenth century that introduced big government to centralize the tax system and thus raise enough money to subsidize the new worldwide trading organizations, like the Dutch East India Company and the British East India Company. The 17th century--the Golden Age of the Netherlands--saw Amsterdam's influence reaching as far as Indonesia, South Africa, and China through the importing efforts of the Dutch East India Company. |
