The significant treaty that ended the Anglo-Dutch War was the Treaty of Westminster, signed in 1674. This treaty concluded the conflict between England and the Dutch Republic over trade and territorial disputes, primarily in the context of colonial ambitions. The treaty reaffirmed English control over various territories, including New Amsterdam, which was renamed New York. It marked a turning point in maritime power, favoring England's dominance in global trade while limiting Dutch influence. The Treaty of Westminster helped pave the way for the emerging maritime rivalry that would characterize European politics in the following centuries.
