The treaty that concluded the first Anglo-Dutch War in 1654 was the Treaty of Westminster. This treaty marked the end of nearly three years of conflict between England and the Dutch Republic over trade and colonial interests. The war was primarily fought over navigation rights and resulted in significant territorial and trade concessions. Although the treaty nullified many of the war's rising tensions, it did not resolve ongoing competition for dominance in maritime trade, which later led to more confrontations between the two powers in subsequent years.
