Read this article and answer this question Rajasinghe II, the king of Kandy, made a treaty with the Dutch in 1638 to get rid of the Portuguese who ruled most of the coastal areas of the island. The main conditions of the treaty were that the Dutch were to hand over the coastal areas they had captured to the Kandyan king in return for a Dutch trade monopoly over the island. The agreement was breached by both parties. The Dutch captured Colombo in 1656 and the last Portuguese strongholds near Jaffnapatnam in 1658. By 1660 they controlled the whole island except the land-locked kingdom of Kandy. The Dutch  persecuted the Catholics and the remaining Portuguese settlers but left Buddhists, Hindus and Muslims alone. The Dutch levied far heavier taxes on the people than the Portuguese had done. A legacy of the Dutch period in Ceylon are the Dutch Burghers, a people of mixed Dutch and local origin. A later definition of the Burgher people of Ceylon was handed down in 1883 by the Chief Justice of Ceylon, Sir Richard Ottley.
Which did the Dutch capture first, Colombo or Jaffnapatnam?

Läs denna artikel och besvara denna fråga Rajasinghe II, kungen av Kandy, slöt ett fördrag med holländarna 1638 för att bli av med de portugiser som styrde de flesta av öns kustområden. De viktigaste villkoren i fördraget var att holländarna skulle överlämna de kustområden de hade tillfångatagit till Kandyankungen i utbyte mot ett nederländskt handelsmonopol över ön. Överenskommelsen bröts av båda parter. Holländarna intog Colombo 1656 och de sista portugisiska fästena nära Jaffnapatnam 1658. År 1660 kontrollerade de hela ön utom det landlåsta kungadömet Kandy. Holländarna förföljde katolikerna och de kvarvarande portugisiska bosättarna men lämnade buddhister, hinduer och muslimer ensamma. Holländarna tog ut betydligt högre skatter på folket än portugiserna hade gjort. Ett arv från den nederländska perioden i Ceylon är de nederländska burghererna, ett folk av blandat nederländskt och lokalt ursprung. En senare definition av det burgherska folket i Ceylon överlämnades 1883 av Ceylons överdomare, sir Richard Ottley. Vilket fångade holländarna först, Colombo eller Jaffnapatnam?
