On 31 July 1667, the Treaty of Breda ended the Second Anglo-Dutch War and confirmed that Suriname would remain under Dutch control. The agreement transferred a colony whose plantation economy already depended on coerced labor. This diplomatic settlement treated territory and colonial possessions as bargaining assets while Indigenous dispossession and the growing enslavement of Africans and their descendants continued. The treaty date is not presented as the date of Crijnssen’s military capture.
