Gold Price History
2 multiple choice world history questions — southeast asia/europeans/dutch trade?
i have looked absolutely everywhere and i really cannot find the answers to these questions .. anyone who could help would be my hero! 
thanks in advance
1 – Aggressive Dutch traders were able to…
a.) reduce the English influence on the spice market to a single port on the southern coast of Sumatra
b.) take over control of the slave trade by striking deals with nearly all of the African kingdoms on the Gold Coast
c.) drive up the price of sugar from the Americas by creating artificial sugar
d.) make their country the richest in Europe in a just a few years
2 – European rulers were determined to gain control of the islands of S.E. Asia because
a.) whichever nation controlled those islands controlled the trade route between China and Europe
b.) they were vital to launching a military invasion of the mainland
c.) the spice trade there was enormously profitable
d.) the climate was perfect for bathing
thanks again!
I think its A and C because the Dutch did control the Spice Trade in the 17th Century – one the reasons is that Britain swapped some of their settlements in the spice islands for a Dutch settlement called New Amsterdam on the east coast of America – and that of course was renamed New York.
