How did the English come in possession of New York

History
1 answer:
Greeley [361]4 years ago
4 0
Before New York was possessed by the English, it was controlled by the Dutch. Under Dutch rule, this territory was actually called New Amsterdam.

New York gained possession of this territory after Dutch Governor Peter Stuyvesant surrendered it to the English army. There was very little resistance when this territory was surrendered in 1664, as Stuyvesant was an unpopular Dutch ruler and lacked the support need to keep England from taking over this territory.
