The Dutch.
England acquired the Dutch colony of New Netherland, which included New Amsterdam (now New York City), through military force and diplomatic negotiations. In 1664, an English fleet captured New Amsterdam, leading to the formal surrender of the colony. The acquisition was solidified by the Treaty of Breda in 1667, which recognized English control over New Netherland in exchange for recognizing Dutch claims to territories in the East Indies. This acquisition helped consolidate English territories along the Atlantic coast.
In August of 1664, a small British naval force captured the Dutch settlement of New Amsterdam. This aggressive action was followed by a war between the Dutch and the British, during which the captured city was -- in June of 1665 -- renamed as "New York City".

The surrender of Peter Stuyvesant, the last Dutch Director-General of New Netherland, in 1664 marked the end of Dutch colonial rule in North America. His capitulation to the English forces led by Colonel Richard Nicolls resulted in the transfer of control of New Amsterdam, which would later become New York City, to the English. This shift not only expanded English territorial claims but also laid the groundwork for the cultural and economic development of the region under English governance. Additionally, it signified a broader shift in colonial power dynamics as England emerged as a dominant force in North America.
New Netherland was a Dutch colony from 1614 to 1664, about 50 years. In 1664, the English took the colony from the Dutch by force-even though the two countries were not at war and few if any shots were fired. Even after New Netherland became an English possession, Dutch settlers remained, and life in the colony did not much change. It remained distinctively Dutch. Decades after the English seizure, many settlers continued to speak the Dutch language and to live as they had in the past. In the former New Netherland, Dutch influence can still be felt. Many famous Americans-including three US presidents-are descendants of those early settlers. We can also thank the Dutch for cookies, Santa Claus, pancakes, and coleslaw, traditions that they began centuries earlier and that we still enjoy today. Most importantly, a distinctive culture of diversity, entrepreneurship, religious tolerance, and global engagement remains in the region where the Dutch once ruled.

Colonel Richard Nicolls, head of the English expeditionary force that conquered the New Netherland colony in 1664 renamed the both the colony and it's major city, New Amsterdam, after his lord James Stuart, Duke of York (later King James II of England). It is generally believed that the name had been prearranged with the Duke before the expedition - which was under his nominal command - was launched. James Stuart was also Duke of Albany (in Scotland) and the colony's second city (now the capital of NYS) renamed Albany (It had been Beaverwyck) in his honor as well. Although New York changed hands again, first back to the Dutch and then back to the ENglish, over the next generation, the English eventually won out and the name stayed. After succeeding to the throne, James Stuart was eventually deposed and driven into exile by the English who replaced him with his daughter Mary and her husband William, who (ironically) was the Dutch sovereign.
Scotland's police forces have just been amalgamated into one force and renamed 'Police Scotland'.

Since SURINAME was a former Dutch colony, much of Suriname's legal system is a holdover from the Dutch laws in force at the time of decolonization in 1975.
