On the Suriname River, ten miles inland from the Atlantic Ocean, Fort Zeelandia started off in 1640 as a wooden fort built by the French. After the British took over in 1651, the Dutch conquered the fort in 1667 and turned it into a shellstone pentagon with red brick interior.
Its days as a museum were interupted when the army ruled the country in the 1980s, and the military regime used the old fort to kill its political enemies.

In 1667, near the end of the Second Anglo-Dutch War, the Dutch conquered Suriname and kicked the English out. A few months later the Treaty of Breda ended the war. The Dutch got to keep Suriname, the English got New Amsterdam, which they renamed to New York.
In 1672 the English teamed up with the French to attack The Netherlands, starting the Third Anglo-Dutch War. The Fourth Anglo-Dutch War began in 1780.
Yes, the Dutch and the English really liked each other. In between kicking British butt the Dutch were kicking French, Spanish, and Portuguese ass.
