The Dutch lost the Cape of Good Hope to the British.
The Cape remained under Dutch control until the 1780s, when the Netherlands fought in the War of Independence of the United States and in the wars of the French Revolution and the Napoleonic era, together with France against the United Kingdom. As a result, the British invaded the Cape of Good Hope in 1795, at the Battle of Muizenberg. Under the terms of a peace agreement negotiated after the war, the Cape was returned to Netherlands in 1803. The war resumed later that year and British forces reoccupied the Cape, winning the Battle of Blaauwberg in 1806. In the 1814 peace treaty that ended the war in Europe, the Cape was permanently incorporated into the British Empire.

Although in recent decades India has avoided famines, half of children are below the world average weight, one of the highest rates in the world and almost twice the rate of sub-Saharan Africa.
