The army of the States-General reclaimed from Spanish rule essentially the territory which is today The Netherlands, and the States-General became officially recognized by England and France as an independent state. Prince Maurits wished to continue the war against Spain but, when Spain effectively recognised the United Provinces as independent and sovereign, there was little enthusiasm to continue the fight.
Ang hukbo ng States-General reclaimed mula sa Spanish rule talaga ang teritoryo na ngayon Ang Netherlands, at ang States-General ay naging opisyal na kinikilala sa pamamagitan ng Inglatera at Pransya bilang isang independenteng estado. Prince Maurits nagnanais na magpatuloy ang digmaan laban sa Espanya ngunit, kapag Espanya epektibo na kinikilala ng United Provinces bilang malaya at higit sa lahat, ay may maliit na sigasig upang magpatuloy ang labanan.
