Ah, there are lenghty chapters of it in _Brazilian_ history [but I didn't know that this war had a name]: Portugal had been anschlussed by Spain, and the Dutch tried to conquer the Northeast of Brazil. Probably barely a paragraph in _dutch_ history about this too :-)
Well, we obviously don't own the northeast of Brazil, so we probably failed in our attempt to conqu... I mean liberate that part of Brazil. Don't even remember it being mentioned in History class, so you're probably right: barely a paragraph in Dutch history books about it. :-)
