In 1655, Peter Stuyvesant was in the director general of a Dutch military expedition. The New Sweden fort fell after a bloddless seige. It was absorbed into the New Netherland Dutch colony. In 1664, Charles II gave the land to his brother, the Duke of York, thus renaming it New York. New Netherland surrendered without a battle. But, New York continued to be based on business and was autocratic.
