October 1782 CE

The Dutch Republic will not form a formal military alliance with France and her allies before the end of the war.

A treaty of amity and commerce is however concluded with the Americans in October 1782, after John Adams, who had succeeded Henry Laurens, had managed to obtain diplomatic recognition of the American republic from the States General in April 1782.

The Republic is the second European power (after France, but before Spain) to recognize the United States.

Adams also succeeds in raising a substantial loan for the Americans on the still-significant Dutch capital market.
