Before New York was possessed by the English, it was controlled by the Dutch. Under Dutch rule, this territory was actually called New Amsterdam.
Dutch Governor Peter Stuyvesant abdicates New Amsterdam, the capital of New Netherland, to an English naval squadron under Colonel Richard Nicolls. Dutch Stuyvesant hoped to resist English, but then he lacked manpower and his subordinates refused to support him. Following its acquisition, New Amsterdam’s name was changed to New York<span>, in honor of the Duke of York, who organized the mission.</span>

How did the Japanese occupation of Vietnam complicate Vietnamese attitudes toward the French?

IRISSAK [1]

Answer:

The Vietnamese felt like the French just gave them over without a battle. Vietnam was a French province until “the French imperialists went down on their bended knees and handed over our country to them,” them meaning the Japanese. Even after the Vietminh League encouraged the French to get arms together with them to fend off the Japanese. The Vietminh League even encouraged a portion of the Frenchmen by saving them from Japanese prisons and ensured them and their property. Even after this, the Vietnamese felt double-crossed by the manner in which they just gave the nation over.
