Dutch invasions of Brazil
Dutch occupation of Brazil in the 17th century
The Dutch invasions in Brazil were a series of military campaigns carried out by the Dutch West India Company (WIC) during the 17th century. Considered the biggest political-military conflict in the colony, the invasions were centered on the control of sugar and slave supply sources. Although they were concentrated in Northeastern Brazil, they were not just a regional episode.
