The Third Anglo-Dutch War ended in Dutch victory and drew the Royal Navy into operations across several regions. Battles took place in the North Sea, near New York, at Saint Helena, and in the East Indies and India. Charles II had expected his nephew William III to follow his wishes, but ended up fighting him. Parliament opposed the expense of war against the Dutch and was unwilling to fund it.
