Traded? There was me thinking it was the Duke of York's warships (hence the name) that forced you out!
The dutch never ruled the oceans, not even close. Merchant trade yes, naval might no. Independence from Spain, well you did get a lot of help with that from both England and France. It was still a big achievement, took you 80 years admitedly, but then you can't rush these things can you?
