From its first voyage in 1600, the English East India Company built up factories, outposts, and colonies all across the Indian Ocean world. After being chased out of the Spice Islands by the Dutch in the Amboyna Massacre, the Company focused in Asia. From strongholds in Madras, Bombay, and Calcutta, the East India Company expanded its influence.
