===Dutch and English period === In 1625, a combined Anglo-Dutch fleet attacked the Portuguese at Bandar Abbas and took control of the trade posts. Soon, the [[Dutch East India Company]] outcompeted its English counterpart and eventually, from 1654 onwards, was in complete control of the local spice and silk trade, due to multiple English ships being taken, and the [[Action of 29 January 1654]]. The Dutch remained in complete control until 1765.<ref>Donald Hawley: The Trucial States, Ardent Media, 1970, pp. 76.</ref>
