Action B of 186069 - Expand our holdings in Kandy for Netherlands

Description

The Dutch began to move into the border territories in April 1665 and seized Trincomalee in September 1665. Rajah Sinha did nothing other than to send emissaries to the English requesting assistance against the Dutch in 1666, being well aware that his troops could not stand against the Dutch in open battle. This shrewd move failed when the ship bearing the diplomats was intercepted by the Dutch. Raja Sinha waited until the Dutch were over-extended and pre-occupied by the French attacks on their possessions in India and struck back with great effect in 1672. He was able to reconquer virtually all of the Dutch gains from the earlier phase of the war, although Dutch command of the sea enabled them to retain Trincomalee and the other ports on the eastern coast. His raids nearly penetrated to the western coast and he recovered many of the people that the Dutch had 'encouraged' to move into their territory.
