Answer:

Explanation: The Netherlands established territorial claims in North America, in the New Netherlands, a territory they colonized by sending the expeditionary Henry Hudson, who discovered the river that would later bear his name (Hudson River); The claims were made to the English, with whom they fought battles to consolidate the businesses of the East India Company, with New Amsterdam as the main focus, which would later be known as New York and which would finally be under the dominion of the English and the defeat of Peter Stuyvesant, who was in charge of the Amsterdam government and had no choice but to give it to England since its inhabitants did not fight to defend their territory.
