In 1667, after the end of the war, the Dutch decided against pressing their claims on their former colony, New Amsterdam. Instead, they decided to take over control of the tiny Island of Run. However, in 1673, the Dutch reoccupied New York City during the Third Anglo-Dutch War, renaming it New Orange. This only lasted for a year though; the English retook control of New York City for good in 1674. This AltHistory timeline explores what North America and the rest of the world would have been like if the Dutch fought back. Nieuwe Wereld is Dutch for 'New World'.

  • In 1667, after the end of the war, the Dutch decided against pressing their claims on their former colony, New Amsterdam. Instead, they decided to take over control of the tiny Island of Run. However, in 1673, the Dutch reoccupied New York City during the Third Anglo-Dutch War, renaming it New Orange. This only lasted for a year though; the English retook control of New York City for good in 1674. But what if the Dutch did decide to press their claims on New Amsterdam? What if the English decided to relinquish control of their colony, briefly called New York City, back to the Dutch? What if the Treaty of Breda looked just a little bit different? New York City as we know it today would not exist. Instead, a mega-city called New Amsterdam would be the "big apple". And it wouldn't belong to the United States... This AltHistory timeline explores what North America and the rest of the world would have been like if the Dutch fought back. Nieuwe Wereld is Dutch for 'New World'.
