notes:
|
Text discusses the conflicts between the Dutch and Portuguese. The Dutch took over the deserted sugar mills and villages of the Portuguese. The Portuguese who submitted to the Dutch government were allowed to exercise the Roman Catholic faith; in return they could rebuild their houses and pay tribute to the Dutch. This image relates to the Dutch and Portuguese struggles to retain possession of Brazil.
