Corrections to the map[edit]

In the map Image:DutchEmpire7.png:

Valdivia, Chile should coloured a blue point as it was only briefly under Duch occupation (less than one year).
Chiloé Archipelago should not be coloured green or blue because it was only pillaged by Duch. Castro in Chiloe was destroyed in 1600 by the Duch corsair Sebastian de Cordes, the Spilberg visited Chiloe and destroyed Carelmapu in 1615, and then at last Hendrick Brouwers expedition that pillaged Chiloé.
There wasnt any Duch trading post in Patagonia or in Chile. Dentren | ^Talk 15:00, 2 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Corrections to Map[edit]

The blue dots are representing forts held for a very limited amount of time. I cannot see how any trading history can exist for these forts, and in fact the page List_of_Dutch_East_India_Company_trading_posts_and_settlements has little to no information about them. It appears that these are not valid with the workings of the current map and the blue dots should be removed as they are not valid trading posts or settlements, at least not by any working defination.

A Dutch colony in Thailand?[edit]

I don't recall ever having read that the Dutch republic had a colony in what is now Thailand as shown on the map.Takeaway (talk) 20:47, 2 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Malacca only shown as trading post in map[edit]

See the article Dutch Malacca. It was a fortified city ruled by Dutch governors and not just a trading post. Takeaway (talk) 21:40, 2 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
