Cruella · Answer 1

England rivalry with the Netherlands started the hostility in the relationship between the colonies in America.

Explanation:

The navigation acts of 1651 managed the trading rights of the colonies in America. The acts allowed the colonist to trade with English rather than supplying it to the Dutch. The navigation acts caused colonists to be annoyed because they reduced economic opportunities. The British wanted to cripple the economy of Dutch. The Act increased the tension between the British and Dutch, which resulted in the First Anglo-Dutch War.
