Well the thing is, the Portuguese just came in and built their posts anyways and straight up claimed lordship over an entire ocean and pirated everything. Then the dutch come along and were like, "we'll get rid of these assholes if you let us have their trading posts". But then they were still assholes who break deals and do genocide just for some nuts. So then the these other white folk come along and you hope their less of an asshole...
Never let the British build a trading post in your country. No exceptions.
