How did the dutch come to dominate trade in southeast asia

The first Dutch expedition arrived at the East Indies, a term which refers to the lands of South and Southeast Asia, in 1595 trying  to access to spices directly from Asia. When the Dutch government recognized the potential of the East Indies trade had, with a 400% profit, and with the intention of dominating trade in Southeast Asia, they amalgamated the competing companies into the United East India Company, which was granted a contract to make trades across Asia, monopolizing initially the indigenous spices such as nutmeg, peppers, cloves and cinnamon and then the non-indigenous products like coffee, tea, cacao, tobacco, rubber, sugar and opium.

This Dutch hegemony reached their greatest extent in the early 20th century, becoming in one of the most valuable European enterprises under the Dutch Empire, which contributed to their global prominence.

union blockade

explanation:

the union blockade in the american civil war was a naval strategy by the united states to prevent the confederacy from trading.

the blockade was proclaimed by president abraham lincoln in april 1861, and required the monitoring of 3,500 miles (5,600 km) of atlantic and gulf coastline, including 12 major ports, notably new orleans and mobile. those blockade runners fast enough to evade the union navy could only carry a small fraction of the supplies needed. they were operated largely by british citizens, making use of neutral ports such as havana, nassau and bermuda. the union commissioned around 500 ships, which destroyed or captured about 1,500 blockade runners over the course of the war.
