In 1859, an independentist uprising had occurred in the Dutch colony of Tussenland. Landlocked from all sides of the Atlantic after their defeat in the [[2nd Dutch-Spanish War]], the Kingdom of the Netherlands was at a disadvantage. In the 1860s, the Kingdom of the Netherlands started negotiating with [[New Netherland]] to help them quell the rebellions. In exchange for their assistance, the kingdom promised the turnover of the three islands to New Netherland for a cheaper price. In late 1861, the islands were formally ceded to New Netherland.
