April 1609 CE

Spain now offers a truce with a duration of twelve years, provided the Republic will grant freedom of worship for Catholics.

Again, Oldenbarnevelt has to refuse this concession as the political situation in the Republic makes this impossible.

He is, however, able to offer a short truce (until 1613) in the Indies, and the suppression of the proposed Dutch West India Company for the time being.

Philip now grudgingly accepts these meager results and the Truce is signed at Antwerp on April 9, 1609, marking the official recognition by Spain of the Republic as a diplomatic entity "as if" it were a sovereign state.

The Dutch Revolt has officially ended.
