The VOC establishes the post of Governor …
Years: 1610 - 1610
The VOC establishes the post of Governor General in 1610 to enable firmer control of their affairs in Asia.
To advise and control the risk of despotic Governors General, a Council of the Indies (Raad van Indië) is created.
The Governor General effectively becomes the main administrator of the VOC's activities in Asia, although the Heeren XVII (the Lords Seventeen, the Amsterdam-based regents of the VOC) will continue to officially have overall control.
VOC headquarters will be in Ambon from 1610 to 1619 for the tenures of the first three Governors General.
