Abstract

     The position of the Netherlands played an important role in the development of the commercial system and the growth of its foreign trade, from an importer of silk and a factory for it as luxury clothes destined for export to a warehouse and distributor of oriental goods brought by the Portuguese, but the situation remained as it was, the revolution in Holland ignited, which had a great impact In the growth of its trade, as it yielded its independence from Spain and its possession of a fleet that the revolutionaries had prepared to support their revolution, so it turned into a merchant fleet. The Netherlands adopted a policy of religious tolerance, becoming before it the owners of money and craftsmen, so the population rose. Silver, of course, will lead Spain to prevent the Dutch from trading in Portuguese ports; With the aim of destroying their growing trade, but the result was the opposite, as the people of Holland, who tasted the taste of freedom, were ready to offer all their capabilities to keep the situation as it was. In the Portuguese in order to be able to confront them in the east, the Dutch ships financed by their sons came out, to start forming companies that were competing with each other. With this approach, as a result of a number of factors, silk stands out as the most important of these factors, as it was a popular commodity in European markets. The Dutch attempts to enter Persia went through two stages: the attempt to obtain Persian goods and the elimination of Portuguese influence in Persia, which was standing in the way preventing their influence in Persia.
