Still british vs dutch

Let's move on to the problems that was caused by Raffles(it wasnt his fault but majority of it YES)


-The East India Compay(EIC) owned by the British could establish Singapore as a TRADING SETTLEMENT 
-Establishing Singapore as their trading establishment broke the monopoly(THE BRITISH SCORED)


Now the drama queens(dutch) have to complain
-They claimed singapore was indirectly theirs


You can guess the dutch and british argued.


Surprisingly both sides did not want to start war(thats something new.)


-Both countries have nothing to gain if they were in war(the only thing they gain are wounds)
-British wanted to create friendly and strong ties with Holland(agreed with peace)




we learn one thing violence is not the option.
