Description:
Historical Note: After the United States of America rejected the annexation of Texas in the 1830s, the government of the Republic of Texas sought to create favorable foreign relations on its own. Texas signed treaties with France, the Netherlands, Belgium, and Great Britain and was able to secure loans for commercial development. The treaty of friendship, commerce, and navigation between the Republic of Texas and the king of the Netherlands was signed on September 18, 1840.
