The role of mercantilism in Anglo‐Dutch political relations, 1650–74

Abstract

The three Anglo‐Dutch wars of the seventeenth century are traditionally seen as mercantile confrontations. This view has been challenged by political historians. Firstly, this article discusses the historiographic developments in this field. Secondly, it aims to explore the relationship between Anglo‐Dutch mercantile competition and political and diplomatic relations in the period 1650 to 1674. It favours an integrated approach in which all these dimensions are taken into account. The article argues that the 1667 Peace Treaty of Breda was a major turning point in Anglo‐Dutch relations after which mercantilism ceased to dominate Anglo‐Dutch political relations.
