Answer:

The country that sent warships to take over New Netherland in 1664 was England.

Explanation:

During the Second Anglo-Dutch War, which faced England to the Dutch Republic, the New Netherlands was conquered by the English. The general director Peter Stuyvesant left New Amsterdam on September 24, 1664. The colony was renamed New York, in honor of the Duke of York, brother of King Charles II of England.

In 1667 the Dutch renounced their claims on this portion of the American territory, with the signing of the Treaty of Breda, and obtained in return the sovereignty over Suriname. However, at the time of another war that opposed the English and Dutch, the latter briefly recovered the colony in 1673 (renamed New Orange), until the British recovered it with the Treaty of Westminster, on February 19, 1674.

The correct answer to this question is B) England.

Britain sent warships to take over the new Netherland in 1664.

On September 29, 1664, New Netherlands surrender before the English Navy. In those years, the New Netherland territory included parts of what today is New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut.

Since 1652, the Dutch and the British had fought many battles with their respective navies in order to gain supremacy in trade and shipping. In May 1664, King Charles II of England had promised the New Netherland territory to his brother James, Duke of York. So in August the same year, Commander Richard Nicholls led 300 hundred soldiers to Long Island. On September 29, 1664, New Netherlands surrender before the English Navy.

The other options of the question were A) Sweden, C) France. D) Holland.
