I hope you all enjoyed today's video about how the Dutch East India Company, Dutch government and eventually the Dutch Royal family were all involved in the opium trade in Asia, mostly within the colonised Indonesian archipelago. From the VOC to the NHM with King Willem the First of Orange. There's a lot of history between The Netherlands and Indonesia and I cannot wait to discover more. If you have any subjects you want to know more about, please let me know:)

Do you want to learn more about Dutch history, culture and see more episodes of Goes Dutch - then follow along!
