Editing New Amsterdam (section)

===English capture===
On August 27, 1664, while England and the Dutch Republic were at peace, four English frigates sailed into New Amsterdam's harbor and demanded New Netherland's surrender, effecting the bloodless [[capture of New Amsterdam]]. On September 6, the local Dutch deciding not to offer resistance, Stuyvesant's lawyer [[Johannes de Decker]] and five other delegates signed the official [[Articles of Surrender of New Netherland]]. This was swiftly followed by the [[Second Anglo-Dutch War]], between England and the [[Dutch Republic]]. In June 1665, New Amsterdam was reincorporated under English law as New York City, named after the [[Duke of York]] (later [[James II of England|King James II]]). He was the brother of [[Charles II of England|King Charles II]], who had been granted the lands.<ref>Henry L. Schoolcraft, "The Capture of New Amsterdam", ''English Historical Review'' (1907) 22#88 674–693 [https://www.jstor.org/stable/550138 in JSTOR]</ref>

In 1667, the [[Treaty of Breda (1667)|Treaty of Breda]] ended the conflict in favor of the Dutch. The Dutch did not press their claims on New Netherland but did demand control over the valuable sugar plantations and factories captured by them that year on the coast of [[Surinam (Dutch colony)|Surinam]], giving them full control over the coast of what is now [[Guyana]] and [[Suriname]].<!--Run was not mentioned in the Treaty-->

{{anchor|New Orange}} On August 9, 1673, during the [[Third Anglo-Dutch War]], the Dutch quickly but briefly [[Reconquest of New Netherland|retook]] the colony of New Netherland, which the English called "New York", with a combined fleet of a squadron of ships from Amsterdam and a squadron of ships from Zeeland. The commanders were [[Jacob Binckes|Jacob Benckes]] (Koudum, 1637–1677) and [[Cornelis Evertsen the Youngest|Cornelis Evertsen de Jongste]] (Vlissingen, 1642–1706) under instruction of the [[States General of the Netherlands|States General of the Dutch Republic]].<ref>{{Cite book|last=Vries, de|first=Jan|title=Verzwegen zeeheld.

Previously there had only been West India Company Directors and a Director-General.

Amidst the recapture, New York City would be again renamed, this time to '''New Orange'''.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://ephemeralnewyork.wordpress.com/2011/03/07/when-new-york-was-officially-named-new-orange/|title=When New York was officially named New Orange|date=March 7, 2011}}</ref> However, after the signing of the [[Treaty of Westminster (1674)|Treaty of Westminster]] in February 1674, both the Dutch territories were relinquished to the English. With the effective transfer of control on November 10, 1674, the names New Netherland and New Orange reverted to the English versions of "New York" and "New York City", respectively. [[Suriname]] became an official Dutch possession in return.
