7. Following the Treaty of Breda, the Dutch had control of all the islands where
nutmeg grew.
Key words: following, Treaty of Breda, Dutch, control, all, nutmeg grew
By using the scanning technique, we can see that the Treaty of Breda is referred to in
paragraph 5, which mentions how the Dutch and British arrived at the settlement and
what happened afterwards. The paragraph shows that the Dutch managed to be “securely
in control of the Bandas”, where all nutmeg production was concentrated into easily
guarded areas, and “there was no chance a fertile seed which could be grown elsewhere
would leave the islands”. This means that the Banda Islands were the sole islands where
nutmeg grew, and the Dutch were fully in control of those, except for only the island of
Run. However, through the Treaty of Breda, the ownership of this island of Run was also
transferred to the Dutch. Therefore, after the Treaty of Breda, it is true that all the islands
where nutmeg grew were under the control of the Dutch.
