Question

Why did the Dutch and the English come into conflict in North America?

A. They fished the same waters.
B. They had religious differences.
C. They sought more trade with France.
D. They wanted to settle the same lands.

Answer 1

Correct answer is D. They wanted to settle the same lands.

Step-by-step explanation:

D is the correct answer because both countries first of all had political reasons for the conflicts. Both countries had territories in North America, but the largest quarrel came around the city of New Amsterdam. After the city was taken by Britain, Dutch lost all possession in America.

All other options are not correct as were not that important for their conflict. They didn't had large religious differences, especially after Reformation, their trade wasn't focused that much on France...
