Description
Nederlands: Het eiland Ceylon werd tussen 1655 en 1658 door de Nederlanders op de Portugezen veroverd. Die verovering was belangrijk omdat de Verenigde Oostindische Compagnie daardoor een monopolie verkreeg op de handel in kaneel.
English: Between 1655 and 1658 the island of Ceylon was captured by the Dutch from the Portugese. This conquest was important because it provided the Dutch East India Company (VOC) with a monopoly in the trade in cinnamom.
