The English
In 1664, England sent warships to take over New Netherland, which was a Dutch colony in North America. The English fleet, commanded by Colonel Richard Nicolls, captured the colony without significant resistance, leading to the surrender of New Amsterdam, the capital of New Netherland. This event marked the transition of control from Dutch to English hands, and the colony was subsequently renamed New York.
The Swedish settlement came under the control of the English.
Peter Stuyvesant [c. 1612 - August 1672] was the Dutch governor who surrendered to the English in 1664. He did so in his capacity as Director-General of the Colony of New Netherland, at the future New York. His surrender of the Dutch colony to English control was demanded on August 30, 1664. He signed the necessary treaty on September 9.Note that Peter Stuyvesant was the governor (Director General, actually) of New Netherland, not New Amsterdam. New Amsterdam was a colony in the greater New Netherland settlement. There was never a governor (or Director General) of New Amsterdam.
