What was the most significant result for the British Colonies in North America from the Treaty of Breda (1667)?
Control and possession of the Dutch colony of New Amsterdam was ceded to the English
The French renounced all of their claims to North American territories
Spanish possession of Florida was officially confirmed and recognized
The English lost control of their northern territories in America to the French
The Dutch gained control of territory throughout the mid-Atlantic at the expense of the English
Explanation
The Treaty of Breda ended a worldwide conflict between European powers, which essentially froze all territorial gains made by every power. Most significantly for North America, the Dutch ceded their colony of New Amsterdam, which the English immediately renamed New York, after the English city and the brother of the King, James, Duke of York. Controlling New York Harbor gave the English an unbroken line of colonies across the Atlantic coast, strengthening their hold even more over North America.
