The Attack on Saint Martin was a failed attempt by the Dutch Republic to recapture the island and former base of the Dutch West India Company (WIC) from the Spanish. In 1633 the Spanish had invaded Saint-Martin (Sint Maarten) and Anguilla, driving off the French and Dutch inhabitants. The French and Dutch banded together to repel the Spanish and it was during a 1644 sea battle that the Dutch commander Peter Stuyvesant, later the governor of New Amsterdam, unsuccessfully besieged Fort Amsterdam and was forced to retreat with the loss of hundreds of men. A stray Spanish cannonball shattered his leg, which had to be amputated. But luck was on the Dutch side, and when the Eighty Years' War between Spain and the Netherlands ended, the Spanish no longer needed a Caribbean base and just sailed aw

  • L'attacco a Saint Martin del 1644 fu il fallito tentativo da parte della Repubblica delle Province Unite di riprendere il controllo dell'isola di Saint Martin (Sint Maarten in olandese) e dell'ex base della Compagnia olandese delle Indie occidentali, occupata dagli spagnoli. Nella battaglia, gli olandesi, appoggiati dai francesi, erano guidati da Peter Stuyvesant, governatore di Nuova Amsterdam. Assediarono senza successo e vennero costretti alla ritirata dopo la perdita di un centinaio di uomini. Gli olandesi riuscirono a riprendere il controllo dell'isola solo nel 1648. (it)
