• 2. War with England and France in the 1670s damaged the United Provinces
• Dikes in Holland were opened in 1672 and much of the region was flooded in order to prevent the French army from taking Amsterdam.
• 3. By the end of the War of Spanish Succession in 1713, the Dutch Republic saw a significant economic decline
• Britain and France were now the two dominant powers in the Atlantic trade.
