"The East India Company and the Sea of ​​Asia (Kodansha·The Rise and Fall of World History 09)" This book transcends the limitations of civilizations, countries, and regions, and reproduces the two hundred years of radical changes in the world through the rise and fall of the East India Company. These "companies" established in the early 17th century made a dazzling appearance at the beginning of world integration, connecting the world with ships and trade, and sadly exited when the integration was completed. They make profits, plunder power, and control land in the Asian sea, and their power is like an empire. Spices, tea, and textiles turned this ocean, considered a frontier by local rulers, into the center of the world. The author takes the ocean as the center, breaks the Eurocentric theory and the concept of East Asian territory, and outlines a unique and interesting new historical picture.
