The Rise and Fall Of The East India Company

Exploitation, political meddling, and military aggression. I’m not talking about the dictator of a banana republic; I’m talking about a private company whose personal army was three times that of the British army.

Their time may be over, but their consequences of their actions shaped the world as we know it. In 1557, a few years before the unofficial Anglo-Spanish War, Francis Drake decided to explore the bank accounts of Spanish settlements in South America. [1] Once he plundered the Spanish colonies, he darted back across the Pacific Ocean, until touching down in the East Indies. As Drake sails away, the Spanish throw things at him in anger. While travelling through the Molucca Islands he met Sultan Babullah, then ruler of the Sultanate of Ternate – one of the oldest Muslim Kingdoms in Indonesia. This guy was the greatest of the Sultans having run out the Portuguese occupants. Under his rule, the Sultanate reached its golden peak thanks to his reign of free trade and access to valuable forest resources.

After all, both him and the Sultan shared a common enemy with the Portuguese, who were in cahoots with the Spanish. Drake offered his linens, gold and silver.
