Years: 1619 - 1619

The VOC, troubled by disputes at the head office in Bantam with natives, the Chinese, and the English, desires a better central headquarters.

Coen has thus directed more of the company's trade through Jakarta, where it had established a factory in 1610.

However, not trusting the native ruler, he had decided in 1618 to convert the Dutch warehouses into a fort.

While the Dutch were away on an expedition, the English had taken control over the town.

Coen, backed by a force of nineteen ships on May 30, 1619, storms Jayakarta, driving out the Banten forces, and from the ashes, rebuilds the fort and establishes the city as the VOC headquarters.
