Dutch merchants maintained decades-long relationships with American colleagues and sent war material as early as 1774. Word of American ships full of gunpowder, muskets, and cannonballs moored in Dutch Harbors outraged the British, and the Dutch Estates General (the governing body) quickly placed a (limited) moratorium on such transactions. The Dutch government could not afford to support the American Revolution, but Dutch merchants could (and did). The British became increasingly frustrated with Dutch “neutrality” after France joined the American Revolutionary cause in 1778. Britain finally declared war on their former trading partner when the Netherlands joined the League of Armed Neutrality in December 1780.Although the Dutch Republic did not enter into a formal alliance with the United States and their allies, U.S. ambassador (and future President) John Adams managed to establish diplomatic relations with the Dutch Republic, making it the second European country to diplomatically recognize the Continental Congress in April 1782. In October 1782, a treaty of amity and commerce was concluded as well.The Netherlands did not choose a side; a side chose the Netherlands. In the 1770s, Dutch merchants continued to sell war materiel to the American Revolutionaries and the French. Britain responded by more aggressively searching and seizing Dutch ships and shipments. When the Netherlands joined the Russian-sponsored League of Armed Neutrality, intended to protect such shipments, Britain declared war on the Netherlands. Thus, it was only after this declaration that the Estates General lost its prized neutrality. The resulting war, known as the Anglo-Dutch War, actually outlasted the Revolutionary War, not ending until 1784. Very good condition.
