520    To many, the mention of maritime merchants evokes an 
       imagery of growling pirates donned in their stereotypical 
       hats and a colorful parrot perched upon their shoulders. 
       These nautical rascals wander the high seas in search of 
       treasure and adventure. Though that imagery may be 
       inaccurate, the real life companies that once dominated 
       international waters operated on a similar thirst for 
       conquest and riches. Perhaps the most famous - or as many 
       would put it, infamous - of these naval corporations was 
       the Dutch East India Company, also known as V O C. 
       Established around the beginning of the 17th century, this
       nautical behemoth of a corporation was determined to 
       squeeze everyone else out of the market. Vested with the 
       power to wage war and exterminate any who dared stand in 
       their way, the rest of the world stood by as the 
       unstoppable force took over the whole of international 
       maritime trade. The company would crush its opponents on 
       the way to the top, establishing a monopoly on the global 
       spice trade that would not only rock the world but forever
       change the course of modern business history. Likewise, 
       the British East India Company served as one of the key 
       players in the formation of the British Empire. From its 
       origins as a trading company struggling to keep up with 
       its superior Dutch, Portuguese, and Spanish competitors to
       its tenure as the ruling authority of the Indian 
       subcontinent to its eventual hubristic downfall, the East 
       India Company serves as a lens through which to explore 
       the much larger economic and social forces that shaped the
       formation of a global British Empire. As a private company
       that became a non-state global power in its own right, the
       East India Company also serves as a cautionary tale all 
       too relevant to the modern world's current political and 
       economic situation.
