Question: Read Source 1A and answer the questions that follow. Source 1A • March 20, 1602 marked the beginning of the inexorable end for many a state in the then known world. On that day, four hundred years ago, a group of Dutch merchants and independent trading companies, impatient with the monopoly that the Portuguese had established over the spice trade with East Asia at the end of the fifteenth century and keeping the British imperial merchants in check. • They founded the Vereenigde Landsche Ge-Oktroyeerde Oostindische Compagnie, better known to the Anglophone world as the Dutch East India Company or simply the VOC. The executive directorate of the VOC was called the Heeren Sewentien or the "Lords Seventeen". The Company had a federal character, comprising six chambers. 1.1.1 Explain the reason that led to the first war between the Khokhoi and the Dutch people. (1x1) (1) 1.1.2 What led to the Establishment of the Dutch East India Company? (1x2) (2) 1.1.3 ‘Within few weeks of Jan Van Riebeeck’s arrival at the Cape, he wanted slaves at setting up the refreshment station as the Cape was not to be his Colony.’ Explain the reason why he decided to exclude the indigenous people of the Cape in this regard? (1x2) (2)
Based on the information provided in Source 1A, I can answer the following questions: 1.1.2: The Dutch East India Company was established due to dissatisfaction amongst Dutch merchants and independent trading companies with the monopoly the Portuguese had over the spice trade with East Asia since the end of the fifteenth century and their desire to compete with the British imperial merchants. However, under the provided information, the questions 1.1.1 and 1.1.3 cannot be answered because the source does not provide information on the war between the Khokhoi and the Dutch people nor on Jan Van Riebeeck's decision to exclude the indigenous people of the Cape. Further information or different texts would be needed to provide accurate responses to these questions.
