new netherland
other powers to arrive in the americas were the swedes, dutch, english, and french. the dutch, english, and french all established colonies in the caribbean and each established a small south american colony. the french established two large colonies in north america, louisiana in the center of the continent and new france in the northeast of the continent. the french were not as intrusive as the iberians were and had relatively good relations with the amerindians, although there were areas of relatively heavy settlement like new orleans and quebec. many french missionaries were successful in converting amerindians to catholicism. on north america's atlantic coast, the swedes established new sweden. this colony was eventually conquered by the nearby dutch colony of new netherland (including new amsterdam). new netherland itself was eventually conquered by england and renamed new york. although england's american empire began in what is today canada, they soon focused their attention to the south, where they established thirteen colonies on north america's atlantic coast. the english were unique in that rather than attempting to convert the amerindians, they simply settled their colonies with englishmen and pushed the amerindians off their lands.
history of western civilization
surinam () was a dutch plantation colony in the guianas, neighboured by the equally dutch colony of berbice to the west, and the french colony of cayenne to the east. surinam was a dutch colony from 26 february 1667, when dutch forces captured francis willoughby's english colony during the second anglo-dutch war, until 15 december 1954, when surinam became a constituent country of the kingdom of the netherlands. the status quo of dutch sovereignty over surinam, and english sovereignty over new netherland, which it had conquered in 1664, was kept in the treaty of breda of 31 july 1667, and again confirmed in the treaty of westminster of 1674.
