The most notable of these is the Dutch's support for the Colombian Rebels during the Colombian war for independence. During beginning of the independence war Colombians received economic support and continued trade from the Dutch Empire which caused the Spanish to start actively shooting down Dutch merchant ships trying to land in New Granada which, in turn, led to the Dutch empire actively arming the Colombian rebels.
