In its early history, the netherlands relied on these two corporations for money and in some ways, protection:

dutch west india company

The Netherlands relied on the Dutch East India Company for money and protection. This company is also known as the United East Indian Company that was established in 1602. It was granted a 21-year spice trade monopoly by the Dutch government and is recognized to be the first ever multinational corporation in the world to issue stocks. They have the power to negotiate treaties, wage war, execute convicts, and establish colonies. 

the berlin blockade was an international crisis that arose from an attempt by the soviet union, in 1948–49, to force the western allied powers (the united states, the united kingdom, and france) to abandon their post-world war ii jurisdictions in west berlin. in march 1948 the allied powers decided to unite their different occupation zones of germany into a single economic unit. in protest, the soviet representative withdrew from the allied control council. coincident with the introduction of a new deutsche mark in west berlin (as throughout west germany), which the soviets regarded as a violation of agreements with the allies, the soviet occupation forces in eastern germany began a blockade of all rail, road, and water communications between berlin and the west. on june 24 the soviets announced that the four-power administration of berlin had ceased and that the allies no longer had any rights there.
