The English East India Company was formed in 1599 AD. Queen Elizabeth I, issued a royal charter to it in 1600 so that it could trade in the East. Following the lead of the English, the Dutch formed their East India Company in 1602 while the Danish did the same in 1616. Even the French established the French East India Company in 1664. _________________ st john villa |
