It highlights the roles of cooperation and competition in shaping the relations between these and other European companies as well as the everyday lives of European merchants and mariners. The edition thus sheds new light on the history of the East Indies trade during the eighteenth century and its role in encouraging early modern globalization.DiariesHistoryOcean travelTrade routesChinaTrade routesEuropeHISTORY / Modern / 18th CenturybisacshGuangzhou (China)CommerceEuropeHistorySourcesEuropeCommerceChinaGuangzhouHistorySourcesEuropeCommerceChinaGuangzhouHistory18th centuryGuangzhou (China)CommerceEuropeHistory18th centuryDiariesHistory.Ocean travel.Trade routesTrade routesHISTORY / Modern / 18th Century.337.51275NW 3200rvkKessler MarleneLee KristinMenning DanielMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910798432803321The European Canton trade 17233742959UNINA
