Best Answer

Because the Netherlands were very wealthy, there was not a lot of incentive for Dutch settlers to come to the New World. As a result, the inhabitants of the colony tended to be English. When the British decided to claim New Netherlands, The Duke of York launched a war flotilla to capture it. There simply weren't enough Dutch citizens who were willing to fight to defend the colony, so it was taken without any bloodshed.
