England was the dominant one up until the late 1500's to the late 1940's when England had control of virtually the entire indian ocean coast and only ended its dominance when it gave India, Pakistan, Kenya, Australia, and other colonies independence in the 1940's and 1950's but the Dutch had a minor holding of the Indian Ocean until the 1960'sWas Egland's or the Netherlands' east India company the winner for dominance in trade in the indian ocean?
England, deffinatly england, ....i know this becuase until just perhaps twenty or thirty years ago, England was in control of India, and most of Asia, it wasnt till the late 80's early 90's that england domain in asia was over....the Netherlands stopped its global campaign to hold territories hundereds of years agoWas Egland's or the Netherlands' east India company the winner for dominance in trade in the indian ocean?
It depends. Which company closed later? The British East India Company. So, we have a winner!



But if we look at who was the most succesful, it's a different story. The VOC started well before the EIC, controlled large territories and almost all maritime traffic beyond the Duch Indies.



Looking at the end of colonisation is mood: England granted India not that long before the Dutch were forced to. Both East India Companies were by then long gone.



I'd say the EIC was the winner, but not by a big margin.
