3、IBThe East India Company/BThe concept of corporations was first established under ancient Roman law. But it wasnt until England emerged from the Middle Ages that it created what we recognize as the modern corporate structure. It all began on Dec. 31,1600, when Queen Elizabeth I granted a charter to
4、the British East India Corporation, naming the corporation“ The Governor and Company of Merchants of London, trading with the East Indies“. The corporation conducted business in the East Indies (land that we now consider India and the Middle East) at the order of the queen.The East India Company est
5、ablished a few major precedents for modern corporations. But it also shaped the world in countless other ways. With both the financial and military support of the Crown, the EIC served as an instrument of imperialism (帝国主义) for England. The company had its own private army and raised soldiers in the
6、 areas it conquered. Its expansionism spurred several wars that produced at least two sovereign nations. Among its many claims to fame (and notoriety), the EIC indirectly built Yale University, helped create two nations and was the worlds 1orgest drug-dealing operation in the 18th century.The compan
7、y was ruthless (无情的)in its quest for profits. Parliament even called the EIC tyrannical(残暴的). However, without the EIC, England may have never developed into the nation it is today.BThe Creation of the East India Company/BWhen the British East India Company (EIC) was formed in 1600, there were alrea
8、dy other East India Companies operating on behalf of France, the Netherlands, Spain and Portugal. Thanks to the naval route that explorer Vasco da Gama discovered, riches from the Orient were pouring into Europe. With other nations importing fortunes in goods and plunder, Queen Elizabeth decided Eng
9、land should get some, too. So she granted the charter for the East India Company.The charter she issued created the first official joint-stock corporation. A joint-stock corporation is composed of investors who are granted shares in a company. In return for their initial Investments, shareholders ar
10、e given dividends, or percentages, of the companys profits based on the number of shares the investor holds.Shares and dividends were not new Concepts in. England. Twenty years prior to the EIC s charter, Queen Elizabeth was already a major stakeholder In Sir Francis Drakes ship, the Golden Hind. Al
11、though its not certain how much she made from Drakes voyages to the New World, the captain himself made a 5 000 percent return on his initial investment.So a joint-stock corporation like the one Queen Elizabeth formed in the East India Company wasnt much of a financial leap. But it was the first of
12、its kind, and following the establishment of the EIC,its Dutch, French and other competitors followed suit. But granting charter to the EIC wasnt the only part of the prototype for modern corporations that Queen Elizabeth devised.Under the support of her royal authority, Elizabeth also limited the l
13、iability of the EIC s investors-including hers. This made the company the worlds first limited liability corporation (abbreviated as LLC in the United States and Ltd. in the United Kingdom). Under an LLC, the investors in a corporation are granted protection from losing any more money than their ini
14、tial investments in the venture. If the company goes under, the investors only lose the amount of money they put into the LLC. The companys outstanding debts arent divided up among its investors.Although it took several decades for the East India Company to become truly profitable, once it did, the
15、company rose to global domination-both in business and in government. In a symbiotic way, as the company grew in power, so, too, did England. So its no surprise that during its existence, the company was directly involved in major geopolitical changes: The EIC literally changed the course of history
16、. Two nations, India and the United States, revolted against East India Company rule, which led to the establishment of their current political structures.BThe East India Company and the United States/BAmerican and British schoolchildren are taught about the notorious Tea Act of 1773, which led to t
17、he rebellious Boston Tea Party. But exactly why the Boston colonists threw thousands of pounds of tea into Boston Harbor may be less clear. Its actually due to a secret agreement between the government and the East India Company.The Tea Act was designed by Parliament specifically to help the EIC unl
18、oad the millions of pounds of unsold tea in its English warehouses. The Americas were the designated recipients of the surplus tea. The Tea Act withdrew any taxes levied on the EIC for the tea it stored and sold-but it maintained the tax on all other tea sold in the colonies. This was equal to outla
19、wing (宣布为不合法) tea from any source other than the EIC, including small, colonial tea outfits. It would be like the United States government forcing all of todays Americans to purchase Apple computers only. Ultimately, the Tea Act allowed the EIC to drive its competition out of business. Colonists dee
20、med this an unfair practice-government was supporting one businesss interests at the expense of the liberty-and it gave rise to the famous slogan“ no taxation without representation“.Rather than agree to this corporate/government secret agreement, about 150 colonists dumped the EIC s new shipment of
21、 tea into Boston Harbor. The English government showed its allegiance to the East India Company when Parliament demanded that colonists reimburse(偿还) the company for the nearly $ i million (in 21st-century dollars) worth of tea. To enforce this demand, the British Navy was called in to blockade the
22、harbor. The tension created by this situation directly led the colonists into the Revolutionary War.BThe East India Company and India/BPerhaps it was being stationed halfway across the world from the East India Companys home offices in London. Or maybe it was the potential for wealth afforded by Ind
23、ias riches. Either way, Elihu Yale (the benefactor for whom Yale University is named) was tempted into .building his own smuggling operation. His dismissal from his post as the EIC governor of Madras was a light sentence compared to the fates of others who ran afoul of the company.Perhaps Yale got a
24、way with his life because of the work hed done on behalf of the EIC. Thanks to factories (colonies or settlements) nm by men tike Yale ,the East India Company was able to subjugate India and its tribal rulers. The company built forts in India to house its private army. The EIC also raised soldiers f
25、rom within the native populations. With the establishment of martial rule (the government set up in a land occupied by military) profits could be garnered easily. Perhaps the most profitable export for the companys India operations was opium (鸦片).By 1750, the EIC had established control over Indias
26、most productive sites of opium cultivation. By 1793, Britain had a monopoly on opium, and no Indian grower was allowed to sell his crops to any other company,The British colonialism carried out through the EIC was pretty brutal. It included the forceful seizure of land and deposing of rulers. Tribut
27、e, taxes and loyally were extracted from average citizens through methods. up to and including torture. Ultimately, the British presence proved to be unacceptable for some Indians. A number of sepoys (native Indians who joined the EICs militia) revolted against the EICs rule during the. Sepoy Rebell
28、ion of 1857. Some historians consider this Indias first war for independence, even though it was queued by the British army. Afterward, Great Britain officially occupied the country. India would remain an English colony until 1947, when it became a constitutional republic.The eventual creation of mo
29、dern-day India and the United States are but two major world events that have the East India Companys fingerprints. It would be nearly impossible to trace the entire legacy-both positive and negative impacts-that the East India Company had on the world. With direct involvement in so many different a
