Europe in the IOTN

  • Europe wanted in on the IOTN
  • Tried trading post empire: pay tariff and the British will protect you from being conquered 
  • Portuguese saw them as pirates due to the way they "protected" others
  • Spain conquered the Philippines named it after King Philip II: gave them closer proximity to the IOTN
  • Creation of "The companies": private company with government support

Obviously the world leader at the time seemed to be China and Europe wanted the spotlight. Nothing seemed to work in conquering closer land, tariffs, companies nothing to bring them closer to obtaining control and being apart of the IOTN

The chapter later explained the importance of the fur trade in North American and Serbia. The native Americans and Europe and Serbia and Russia later ending in a bond being created and Serbia paying Russia in fur.
