Delaware was taken from the Swedes by the Dutch in 1655 during the Second Anglo-Dutch War. The Dutch West India Company, seeking to expand its territory and influence, captured the Swedish settlement of Fort Christina (present-day Wilmington). However, the English later took control of Delaware from the Dutch in 1664, solidifying English dominance in the region.
