Anglo-Dutch Warsor Dutch WarsFour naval conflicts between England and the Dutch Republic in the 17th–18th century. The First (1652–54), Second (1665–67), and Third (1672–74) Anglo-Dutch Wars all arose from commercial rivalry between the two nations, and victories by England established its naval might. The two countries had been allied for a century when the Fourth Anglo-Dutch War (1780–84) broke out over Dutch interference in the American Revolution. By 1784 the Dutch Republic had declined dramatically in power and prestige. |

| Throughout a costly conflict in
Brazil which occupied the Republic's attention (and drained the
WIC's coffers) for the decade following Brouwer's escapade,
and a series of devastating Anglo-Dutch wars in the ensuing years which
spread across the Atlantic, "Chile" somehow remained on the
horizon. The Anglo-Dutch wars were but one site
of their literary and political relations. |
