Description

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! This is a term used synonymously for the period, and the area of Ceylon or Sri Lanka that was controlled by the Dutch from 1685-1798 and their rule. In the 1600s, Sri Lanka was partly ruled by the Portuguese invaders and the Sinhala Kingdom, who were constantly battling each other. Although the Portuguese were not winning the war, their rule was rather burdensome to the people of those areas controlled by them. The Dutch were engaged in a long war of independence from Spanish rule. In that background, Sinhala King invited the Dutch to help defeat the Portuguese. The Dutch interest in Ceylon was to have a united battle front against the Iberians at that time. After the Sri Lankans betrayal of the Dutch, the Dutch invaded parts of Sri Lanka. They retained an area as compensation for the cost of war and gradually extended their land. The Dutch gained control of the coastline, but later the colonial English rulers succeeded them. The Dutch and English each ruled for approximately 150 years
