Dutch East India Company (Vereenigde Oostindische Compagnie,VOC) traders, under the command of Jan van Riebeeck, were the first people to establish a European colony (initially not constructed to become a colony)in South Africa. The Cape settlement was built by the Dutch in 1652 as a re-supply point and way-station for Dutch East India Company vessels on their way back and forth between the Netherlands and Batavia (Jakarta) in the Dutch East Indies. These sea expeditions were implemented to further expand the Dutch economy by creating a trade route with the East with regards to spice, silk, bullion, etc. The support station gradually became a settler community, the forebears of the Afrikaners, a European ethnic group who are greatly involved in a South Africa's history. The American War of Independence (1775-1783) drew the French and the Dutch on to the side of the American colonies (due to their dislike of the British). The Cape became a strategically important location as a supply station, as it was used in breaking the British blockade of the United States. French guns were shipped on VOC vessels, via the Cape to St Eustacius in the Caribbean and from there on American vessels to the rebel colonies …show more content…
At the Cape the Dutch, fired on by liberal ("Jacobin") ideas were in revolt against the VOC's maladministration and we're defying their "masters".The British fleet was looking for new bases to supply, repair and refit its ships in transit to the Indian Ocean and the Pacific to assist in its territorial expansion of trade and conquest. The Cape of Good Hope was seen as a vital link in this global network as it was ideally situated for defensive and economical
In 1756 the French and Indian War began. At this time European nations were exploring and taking over the new world. Spain controlled South America while Britain and France dominated North America. Britain and France were fighting over land and trade. Britain wanted to expand the colonies so the colonies would produce more raw materials and buy more finished goods from Britain.

Jamestown. Jamestown was the first established colony by England, after one of there earlier colony disappeared. The voyage from England to Jamestown was very long and rough the 3 ships carried 144 men and boys who would become the first settlers.

The French and Indian War was won by the British which meant that the French had to get out of North America. One of the issues that came up was that the British, after winning the war, were in debt. It was hard for them to pay for the war so they began to tax the people in Europe and the american colonists. This angered the colonists and brought resentment from the colonists towards the British. This war altered the political, economic, and ideological relations between the British and its American colonies through a series of actions taken by each of the empires involved in this war, more specifically the British.
I am writing to answer some questions you asked about George Washington during your visit to our country. At the time of your visit, I did not know the answers to your questions, but now I do and am better prepared to answer them. From 1754 to 1763 the British and French were involved in a war known as the French and Indian War. The French and Indian War was fought to determine who got what land in North America. It was a long struggle that the British eventually won but at a huge financial cost.
Anybody who had the slightest thought of taking part in the revolution had a sense of fear within them because of the consequences they would have to pay. The military presence made it impossible for any form of active revolution. Halifax was not only the main naval base in the colony, but arguably in all of British North America. Nova Scotians were used to thinking of Halifax as a British naval military threat. If Nova Scotia’s dissension had resulted in open warfare, Halifax would then become a naval and military threat.
Britain had built up a great debt and the colonies were a financial burden to run, to try and resolve their problems the British instituted various measures

For example, one grant could be as big as the state of Rhode Island.
Great Britain and France had been at war, on and off, since 1793. The United States, which traded with both countries, was caught in the middle. Britain blocked all French seaports and insisted that U.S. ships first stop at a British port and pay a fee before continuing to
The British thought this would calm the colonists down, but this made them even more upset and disloyal. They were upset because those were the busiest, and wealthiest ports, and hundreds
The Dutch were the first to settle in New York in 1624. Two years later they made the colony New Amsterdam on Manhattan Island. In the year 1664 the English took control of the colony and renamed it New York after the Duke of York. Although the Netherlands only controlled the Hudson River Valley from 1609 until 1664, in that time, Dutch entrepreneurs established New Netherland, a series of trading posts, towns, and forts up and down the Hudson River that laid the groundwork for towns that still exist today. The slow expansion of New Netherland, however, caused conflicts with both English colonists and Native Americans in the region.
Britain had to find a new way of controlling the Colonies. Before the war, England pursued
The colonies stopped giving their goods to England. They smuggled them and traded them in the Caribbean to make more money to benefit themselves. The people were going against England’s back.
