New York city began as New Amsterdam, if speaking about the first European settlers.
How the Dutch broke the Spanish monopoly The Dutch were fighting the Spanish for independence and the Portuguese for trade and empire. They triumphed over the Portuguese in nearly every part of the globe. Then, to boost their trade with the Spanish empire, they attacked Portuguese slave trading stations in West Africa and finally captured Elmina, the greatest slaving station in 1637. With this supply of slaves from Africa, the Dutch were well equip to penetrate the Spanish empire. From Araya, the Dutch trade expanded along the coast of the Guianas and Venezuelas and then to Hispaniola and other Spanish islands, trading slaves for tobacco and hies and skins. In 1624, the Dutch captured Bahia and Pernambuco and until 1654, actually controlled the North-Eastern part of Brazil. It was here that the Dutch gained their expertise in sugar planting and manufacturing. In 1595. they formed their own East India Company which broke Spanish power in the Caribbean.

The Frontier Wars was a decade long battle between the Iroquois Indians, allied by the English and a number of other Indian tribes allied by the French.

Of all the Europeans who claimed lands in the Americas, the Dutch had more cooperative relations. Their main goal was to trade for fur, and they did not try to change the culture of Native Americans by converting them to Christianity. They had a mutually beneficial relationship with the Iroquois, assisting them with weapons in their rivalry with the Huron tribes.
