The Amboyna massacre occurred because of the intense rivalry between the East India Companies of England and Holland in the spice trade.
Thereupon, the Dutch at Amboyna suspected that the British were about to attack them and assassinate their governor.
After the Amboyna Massacre, the British reduced their interest in the East Indies and focused their attention on the continent of Asia, specifically the Indian Sub-Continent.
