Treaty of The Hague (1661)
- Treaty of The Hague (1661)
The Treaty of Den Haag (also known as the Treaty of The Hague) was signed in 1661 between representatives of the Dutch Empire and the Portuguese Empire. Based on the terms of the treaty, the Dutch Republic recognized Portuguese imperial sovereignty over New Holland (Dutch Brazil) in exchange for an indenization.
History
After the Portuguese reconquest of New Holland and with the end of the First Anglo-Dutch War, the Dutch Republic began to demand the colony back in may 1654.Under threat of the Dutch fleet, Portugal ceded to the demand of the Dutch Republic. Johan de Witt, the Grand Pensionary of Holland, didn't agree because according to him commerce was more important than the possession of territories. Therefore a peace treaty was signed on 6 August of 1661 at The Hague whereby New Holland was sold to Portugal for the equivalent of 63 tonnes of gold. This amount was paid annually by Portugal on parcels over the time period of four decades and under threat of invasion of Lisbon and of the North-East region of Brazil. Besides, Portugal ceded Ceylon and the Maluku Islands to the Dutch Republic and conceded privileges over the sugar commerce.
