English ships sailed into New Amsterdam and occupied the land, demanding the area from the Netherlands. Soon after the Second Anglo-Dutch war followed. At the treaty of Breda, it was decided that England would get to keep New Amsterdam which was renamed into New York while the Dutch would get sugar plantations in Suriname.
