The Dutch dominated trade in the Atlantic, Baltic, and Indian Oceans during the 1600s through their powerful East India Company and commercial fleet. They also built a substantial overseas empire with colonies in North and South America, Africa, and Asia. The Hapsburgs were a powerful European dynasty, but they did not have as significant an impact on overseas trade and empire building during this time period. The King and Queen of Spain had a powerful navy and overseas colonies, but they did not dominate these particular oceans during the 1600s as much as the Dutch did.
