June 1814 CE

The Anglo-Dutch Treaty of 1814 is signed in London, returning most possessions of the Dutch Empire acquired by the United Kingdom since 1803 to the Netherlands, although Britain retains the Cape of Good Hope and the South American settlements of Demerara, Essequibo and Berbice (later consolidated as British Guiana).

In addition, the British cede the island of Banca (Bangka) off the island of Sumatra, in exchange for the settlement of Cochin, India.
