On the Portuguese side, the Pinhal episode left them exasperated and paranoid against further threats to their interests. This was such that in 1601, when a Dutch ship came to Macau looking for El Piñal, the Macanese residents reacted harshly, imprisoning the Dutch reconnaissance party and summarily executed the 17 Dutchmen. This violent beginning to Luso-Dutch relations in the East would culminate in the Dutch-Portuguese War, where not only was Macau attacked in 1622, but Portuguese influence in the Far East would also become greatly diminished by the end of the war in 1661.
