The '''War of Dutch Humiliation
== Canton War ==
{{Main|Canton War}}
The war erupted primarily due to trade disputes in Asia between the British and the Dutch. In an attempt to break the Dutch's two-century monopoly on the Chinese trade, an Anglo-French coalition armed and supported a growing rebellion in Kwangtung against the [[Great Qing]]. The "Canton" rebels were able a significant part of Southern China. However, the Qing and the Dutch were able to repel the rebels. Britain and France openly declared war on the Qing and the Netherlands when a Dutch ship had sunk a British ship supplying the rebel troops. The war ended in an Anglo-French victory, splitting the Great Qing and half, creating a new Anglo-friendly nation in southern China: [[Canton]].

{{Main|2nd Dutch-Spanish War}}
Seeing that the Dutch were fighting in another war in Asia, the Spanish declared war on the Netherlands in an attempt to seize territory from the Dutch colony of [[Tussenland]]. The overextended Dutch were unable to effectively repel the Spanish invasions in from the east. The war ended in a Spanish victory. In the resulting treaty, the Dutch ceded a huge portion of their North American territory to New Spain, and North Maluku which was shortly incorporated into the viceroyalty of the [[Philippines]].
