The East
India Company's world in the 1600s was a very complicated
one, ruled by many different people. It took a very
long time for letters to travel the great distances
between them, but it was still possible for the rulers
of nations to communicate with each other. They could
make friends or declare war, send ambassadors, begin
trade or turn a blind eye to piracy.
All of these
communications made a giant, complex network, centuries
before the internet.
