On 2 June 1824, the Netherlands ratified a new Anglo-Dutch Treaty, also known as the Treaty of London with Great Britain. This settlement was negotiated to settle disputes that had arisen from the 1814 Anglo-Dutch Treaty. The latter had restored many Dutch colonial possessions in India and the East Indies that had been seized by the British during the Napoleonic Wars, but tensions began to rise between the countries with the establishment of the British colony of Singapore on the Malay Peninsula in 1820. The Dutch argued that Singapore had been illegally occupied by the British because the treaty that established the colony had been made with the Sultanate of Johor, which was subject to Dutch influence.
The 1824 Anglo-Dutch treaty aimed at creating two clearly demarcated colonial spheres of influence that could exist without conflict and encourage easy trade for both French and Dutch merchants. In order to create a clear British sphere focused on India and Malaysia, the Netherlands agreed to cede Dutch India and Malacca on the Malay Peninsula while a Dutch sphere formed in the islands of the East Indies, supported by the British restoration of Java and the cession of all British possessions on Sumatra. It was furthermore agreed that neither the Netherlands nor Great Britain would make colonial inroads into each other's spheres but that merchants from each country could trade with preferential status in either sphere.
