The United States restricted the amount of European immigration done, they weren't participating or even a part of the League of Nations, and people were just tired of getting to foreign wars as a whole. Only 150,000 immigrants per year were allowed to immigrate to America in 1929.
Answer:
The winners were the ship owners, business people, and the Dutch people generally. They profited so much from their exploits of the local Indians by occupying their lands, buying goods, especially spices, at cheap prices, and selling at highly profitable prices. The riches of the Netherlands can be attributed to the activities of companies like the VOC.
Civilization is another major winner. The operations of companies like VOC was a necessary evil that opened up the world to myriads of technological advancements and civilization, bringing in Christianity for the salvation of souls.
The ostensible losers were the local Indians and West Africans who were transported across the Atlantic as slaves. The psychological defeat entrenched by foreign occupation and in slavery had not waned till today.
But, there is no longer the need to regret the past. Those whose lands were occupied and those enslaved should come to terms with the extant facts and move forward doggedly. Afterall, they also profited by being unchained from cruel traditions like the killing of twins. In addition, many have embraced Jesus Christ, the way to the Father God.
