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.
Explanation:
Using such companies as the VOC (Verenigde Oostindische Compagnie in Dutch), the Dutch challenged the dominance of the Portuguese in International Trade and Slavery. The VOC was created in 1602 and lasted till 1800 with its main purpose as trade (both in goods and humans), exploration of natural resources, and colonization of indigenous peoples.
According to Hobbes, a well-ordered society would be one in which there is a strong central government. In one of his most famous works, Leviathan, Hobbes argues that if there was no strong government to control the people that many societies would be in constant warfare against each other. To prevent this from happening, Hobbes argues that citizens and the government must have a social contract.
A social contract consists of citizens giving up some of their freedoms/rights so that society can be more organized and safe. The government would be responsible for controlling citizens and keeping society safe.
