Well, honey, the colony of New Netherland was taken over by the British without a single shot being fired, and they renamed it New York in honor of the Duke of York. It was all very polite and civilized, unlike some other messy takeovers in history.

Which colony was taken over by James Duke of York without firing a shot?

The Dutch colony of New Amsterdam was taken over by the English without a shot being fired. The English forces arrived in 1664 in four warships sent by the Duke of York to take possession of land his brother the king of England had granted him. Before commencing an attack, the English offered generous terms of surrender to the Dutch colonists. The Dutch citizens persuaded their Governor, Peter Stuyvesant, to accept the terms of surrender rather than have the colony suffer the death and destruction under battlefire from the well-armed warships. After the surrender, the colony was then renamed New York for its new ruler.
