A reassessment of the Anglo-Dutch wars of the second half of the
seventeenth century, demonstrating that the conflict was primarily
about trade. This book re-examines the history of Anglo-Dutch
conflict during the seventeenth century, of which the three wars of
1652-4, 1665-7 and 1672-4 were the most obvious manifestation.
Low-intensity conflict spanned a longer period. From 1618-19
hostilities in Asia between the Dutch and English East India
Companies added new elements of tension beyond earlier disputes
over the North Sea fisheries, merchant shipping and the cloth
trade. The emerging multilateral trades of the Atlantic world added
new challenges. This book integrates the European, Asian, American
and African dimensions of the Anglo-Dutch Wars in an authentically
global view. The role of the state receives special attention
during a period in which both countries are best understood as
'fiscal-naval states'. The significance of sea power is reflected
in the public history of the Anglo-Dutch wars, acknowledged in the
concluding chapters. The book includes important new research
findings and imaginative new thinking by leading historians of the
subject.
