Comments on the hostilities committed by the English towards the Island of Sint Maarten. In December 1780 Britain declared war on the Dutch Republic, on the grounds that the Dutch were illegally supplying American revolutionaries with goods, largely from their trading station in Sint Eustatius. A furious British attack in February 1781 saw the occupation and total destruction of the harbor of Sint Eustatius, with the British fleet also taking control of Saba, Saint-Barthélemy and the whole island of Sint Maarten.
