Also, it's an overrated name, the "golden" part was mostly in the Western part of the country, and mostly for the Rich. Basically people were still starving during the golden age. The rich got richter, the poor died in the gutter. It's the reason historians don't like to call that era the 'golden' age. However in other ways it was def. an improvement, especially religious freedom and as a safe haven for persecuted peoples; jews for example.

@@semuapenuh lol you make it sound like it's a good thing

I don't believe the WIC's Grand Design was aimed at the slavetrade though. The WIC was still dominated by calvinists who believed slavetrade was unchristian, it was another bad thing the catholics did. They were at the African West coast for the ivory and the gold and New Netherland was supposed to be an ordinary agricultural settlement with protestant settlers, not a plantation economy. Only with the conquest of Dutch Brazil from the Portuguese the WIC permitted the governor to conquer Portuguese slave trading posts in Africa, but under the condition that they would be freed after seven years and were educated in christianity in the mean time.

A very nuanced view! Love to see discourse like this.

Nah, we're just better, we built the cycle we built because we are who we are, you can add a lot of steps to try to make it more nuanced but it all comes down to our genetics in the end if you think it through. People create cultures, and people are a biological organism.

As a Dutch person I can tell you that in school we get taught in full depth of our colonial history in Indonesia both the good things and the bad things so that we may never forget the atrocities my ancestors committed onto your people, so that history may never repeat itself. Edit: this was taught to me in primary school so that means you have the same teacher for every subject regardless of what that teacher graduated to teach. The reactions to my initial comment left me a little confused so when I recently ran into my old teacher from that year in school I asked him about it. He told me that he graduated to teach history and taught us more than the book ever would. He thought it was important not only for the reasons I mentioned earlier (3 years ago) but also because he believed it was important to teach us historical facts instead of what the book called facts. Mind you it was more than 10 years ago since I was last in a class of his so forgive me if my memory of it all is a little foggy.

pre-industrial era industrialisation :D Let that sink in... Also we made pumps out of them, converting shallow bodies of water into arable land, which turned out to be very productive land.

@@AwoudeX It was the industrial revolution. For not only timber was produced at high speed, but paint, ropes, cement, and even iron products could be produced much faster by mechanical hammers, let the machine do it for you. Alcohol production in Schiedam, because of windmills. Pottery in Delft because of windmills that produced the liquid clay. And much more.

Thats true. We changed it for 1 dollar because England had their entire fleet in front of new Amsterdam. Fighting would be useless.

Bad trade ever 😅

Not exactly. New Amsterdam was captured by the British, but briefly recaptured by the dutch. Then they traded it for suriname. And there were no colonies in Japan. There were open ports, but they were never under any form of dutch rule

@@rollood7394 You're both wrong, it wasn't a "trade" for Suriname. By all intents and purposes, England severely lost the war. The treaty included many things much more important than new amsterdam or (modern day) Suriname. New Amsterdam was a worthless piece of land and the treaty was all about maintaining the nutmeg monopoly the Dutch held at that time. If new amsterdam (once again very unimportant) was "traded" for anything it was for the island of Run in modern Indonesia. I suggest reading about the nutmeg producing island its significance regarding the treaty of Breda.

@@br137 I had some college lectures about it, but that still doesnt mean I know thát much so thanks for correcting me :) But by all means, New Amsterdam wasnt super unimportant. There was still a lot of trade with it. However, you should also take into account that defending that colony from the surrounding English settlers and native Americans was very expensive. It was also not a strategic spot for them. So their profits werent very high. Suriname was easier to defend and more profitable, so that made it an easy choice

No africa colonized Netherlands

Sri Lanka is also missing

Very true. My mother grew up on the island of Sumba as the daugther of a missonary docter. The Dutch arrived in earnest around 1900 on Sumba but in 1930 were still hardly present on the island. One could say Java after independence "colonised" more of Indonesia than the Dutch did before.

In reality England (and later Ireland) was invaded by a large and well-trained Dutch army, initially 21,000 men but later increased, that was brought here in November 1688 on 500 ships - an armada four times larger than the Spanish armada of 1588. This was the one and only cause that huge amounts of capital fled from the most important city in the world a.t.t, Amsterdam to London. And NOT only that! Stock markets, Craftsmen, sophisticated technics, knowledge of making ships 3 times faster than any other country at that time (in fact the start of modern industrialisation) , etc. etc. also followed the Dutch king and the money. Without these FACTS England would never ever got the change to build on there empire and to “begin” modern industrialisation.

It helps when you have a delta running trough your country, making it ideal for placing harbors and ship stuff inland. The wealth that trade brought, made my ancestors buy the power through mercenaries. The accomplishment lies in how well the Dutch commanded the mercenaries. It was so effective that the methods became common thereafter. This is how we weren't overrun by Spain. On top of that, good diplomatic relations with several neighbours that were willing to help.

About the necessary wealth for fighting Spanish Army, I have to remember that incomes from trade was only a tiny part of it. The most of income came from all the properties that protestant nobles stole from the Catholic Church. In fact, most of the time they didn't fight against Spanish, but against other nobles who didn't want to become protestant. It was kind of a civil war in which some of the nobles (protestant ones) had the help of England as an ally and the others (the catholic ones) the occasional support of their Spanish king.
