Questions 1. Explain with reference, the reasons why the Dutch
East India Company (VOC) established a refreshment station at
the Cape in 1652.? (10)


The establishment of a refreshment station at the Cape in 1652
by the Dutch East India Company (VOC) was driven by several
strategic and logistical reasons. Here’s an explanation with
reference to these motivations:
1. Strategic Location for Maritime Routes
The Cape of Good Hope was strategically located on the
maritime route between Europe and the East Indies (present-day
Indonesia). The VOC, being a major trading company involved
in the spice trade, needed a reliable stopover to facilitate the
long and perilous journey around the southern tip of Africa. The
refreshment station at the Cape would serve as a critical
resupply point for ships traveling between Europe and the East
Indies. This was essential for reducing the risk of shipwrecks
and ensuring the safe passage of VOC ships.
2. Provision of Fresh Provisions
During the long voyages to the East Indies, ships faced
shortages of fresh provisions, such as fruits, vegetables, and
meat. The establishment of a refreshment station at the Cape
allowed VOC ships to replenish their supplies with fresh food.
