	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.
