How did the dutch gain wealth?

Answer 1

the Netherlands have become known for the transporting of products in the 17 centrury the nethlands transported peper, parika and other spices from Indian and south Africa and then sell them in Europe for much higher prices.

the Netherlands also did this in the Indonesian continent until the second world war. the Netherlands did change how they optained the spices.

the Netherlands did not use fair trade to gain money they used force to get

the cheapest prices.

(not proud of the last bit..)

in and after these century's or infrastructure has bin growing allowing better

roads, and schools this also helps the building of more jobs and thus more money.

now we still make money shipping and transporting products from the Netherlands in to Europe trough the Amsterdam port this is also 1 of the things that makes much money.

Answer 2

Through American Colonies:

The West India Company gave up its trade monopoly, enabling other businessmen to invest in New Netherland. Profits flowed to Amsterdam, encouraging new economic activity in the production of food, timber, tobacco, and eventually, slaves.

There was also other ways they made money, but thats all that comes to mind right now. :P

Answer 3

Services account for more than half of the national income and are primarily in transportation, distribution, and logistics, and in financial areas, such as banking and insurance. Industrial activity, including mining, generates about 20% of the national product and is dominated by the metalworking, oil refining, chemical, and food-processing industries. Construction amounts to about 6% of GDP. Agriculture and fishing, although visible and traditional Dutch activities, account for just 2%.
