Just figured I'd throw that out there.  Still loving the British history too.  This has nothing to do with the fact that my favorite soccer team is British and my favorite player on that team is a Dutchman.  Nope, nothing at all.Actually, it's because I've been doing some reading on the (British) East India Company and how they competed with the Dutch East India Company.  It's interesting because it's almost like businesses rather than nations went to war with each other.I need to complete my BA so I can go to grad school for European Colonial or Early Modern British Naval history.  The Age of Sail/Discovery is just absolutely fascinating me.
