Line 1: {{Useful Notes}} [[File:Goa Battle.png\|thumb]] The [[Dutch -Portuguese War]] (1602-1640) was a conflict resulting from Dutch companies (most of which the Dutch government had a large stake in) invading and impeding on Portuguese land and colonies in the Americas, Africa, India and the Far East. Related to the [[Eighty Years' War]], the conflict served as a means for the Dutch Republic to gain more land with the most prolific ambition to gain a foothold in the New World at the cost of Portuguese settlements. English forces also assisted the Dutch at various points during the war. Initiated due to Dutch attacked on Portuguese settlements and trade lines, the conflict consisted mainly of skirmishes and battles fought over Portuguese ports, settlements and supplies. The initial conflict was focused in East India, where the Dutch met with great success in their capturing of land and supplies. Following their conquering there they turned their attention to Portuguese settlements in the New World, hoping for repeated success.
