The Amboyna Conspiracy Trial

Adam Clulow | Sep 29, 2020

This project focuses on the Amboyna Conspiracy Trial of 1623. In this trial, Dutch authorities accused a group of English merchants and Japanese mercenaries of plotting to seize control of remote clove-producing island in modern-day Indonesia. Students can analyze and evaluate the case to gain a deeper understanding of the global effects of European commercial-military companies, including the early modern war on words.
