Over the centuries, The Netherlands (before 1814, the Dutch Republic) had colonies in South America (six Caribbean islands plus Surinam), in North America (today's New York, New Jersey and Delaware), in Africa (today's Cape Town region) and Asia (Sri Lanka, Indonesia and Taiwan). The Dutch discovered Australia and New Zealand but did not claim it as colonies.
