	First Anglo-Dutch War - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The First Anglo-Dutch War (Dutch: Eerste Engels-Nederlandse Oorlog) (1652-54) (called the First Dutch War in England, and the First English War in the Netherlands) was the first of the four Anglo-Dutch Wars.
		The First Anglo-Dutch War was the first war to be fought entirely at sea, with no operations aiming at landing or supporting troops on shore, although the Dutch made plans for a raid on the Medway.
		This division of forces left Blake with only 42 men of war by November, while the Dutch were making every effort to reinforce their fleet, and this led to English defeats in the Battle of Dungeness in December and the Battle of Leghorn early in 1653.
