{{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]].
