Country: *has spices* The Dutch: *you're now my property*

To be honest I really missed the part about Michiel de Ruyter and how we have beaten the british and french navy like the raid on the medway

G E K O L O N I S E E R D

**The Dutch have entered the chat* Indonesia: Fakfak

And what about the last 70 years with them creating Flevoland, losing Indonesia, and joining the EU?

That was quick.. I wasn't satisfied.. i need more Dutch and suibhne goodness.

As a dutch i can say this is semi correct. Also i had a stroke listing to your dutch pernounciation

The Netherlands deserves a longer video IMO. A lot of information, especially events after ww2 are missing

As an Indonesian Creator, I really waiting for this content :) wait .. what just I said?

Friend : Hey do you know what VOC is? Me, an Indonesian : *Vietnam Flashback in Indonesian*

Kinda sad you didn't mention the rampjaar of 1672 and the raid on the medway of 1667, 2 really important events of the dutch republic, the 1784 war was quite minor compared to these

(not so fun) fact: a lot more Jewish people were deported in the Netherlands than in Belgium, because the Dutch had a better organization and every passport had the holder's religion on it. So the Germans just had to go through the papers of the cities and pick out the ones with a "J" on it and they had the address and everything.

What is your Home Language??? You speak Dutch like a native Afrikaans speaker.

You have forgot to mention that the Canadian Army has liberated the Netherlands in World War II. The Dutch would never forget their sacrifices...

Suddenly, a wild Hilbert appears.

50% sea 50% weed

I like how you included the older borders with lakes and stuff, but the north of Friesland was poldered in way earlier than you showed and the little bit sticking out in the northeast Zuiderzee was a polder constructed before and during ww2

Too short. Skipped over the interesting bits too fast. Like its early history. :)

Six minutes of bits of wikipedia history and a commercial in no way do justice to Dutch history. Pretty shoddy job. The inacurracies and ommisions are glaring. To name a few: - Naming Amsterdam as a large medieval city - it was just a fishing village at the time - Skipping 100 years of history and then saying the decline was because of a war with England when NL was already a french puppet-state. - Not mentioning Land reclaimation - Not mentioning the Northern renaissance - Lookup Rampjaar.. every Dutch person knows it. - Not mentioning William of Orange during the Dutch revolt, the fact that his descendent came back after Napoleon and got a different title for the same job is much less important. - The Dutch made way more money of the trade within Europe then outside of it.. it was not all colonies.. - Operation Rees really? This was clearly put in to sell a book. Do you know who also wrote a book about WW2? Anne Frank, and it actually takes place in the NL.. - Also when mention WW2 in NL please mention Canadians.. We still love them

Steal the spice trade, that isn’t a question but the Dutch did it anyways.

1:15 A common mistake is that Amsterdam was always a improtant city. Till 1450 it was however a tiny village. around 1200 it were Utrecht and Dordrecht that were of major importance for the Low Countries.

This was too short tbh, there's way more than just the Hanseatic league, 80 years war and the golden age, everything that happened before and after that was just glossed over, it's a such a shame that you left out so much, so many notable people were left out, even Willem van Oranje wasn't mentioned, he's seen as the father of our country (Vader des Vaderlands).

nobody: not a single soul: dutchies: G E K O L O N I S E E R D

We need to know more about The Netherlands in the early medieval ages! We have an interesting mix of saxon, jute, germanic and franconian influences that could be explored!

The Voc didn't engage in slave trade that was the Wic (west Indische compagnie)

Please make now a video about Portugal🇵🇹

If anyone is interested, there is a movie about a famous Dutch tactician in the third Anglo-Dutch war. In Dutch it's called Michiel de Ruyter, but I believe the English name is Admiral.

The Dutch Revolt and the 80 Year's War are not the same thing.... The Dutch Revolt was basically a war against the Spanish Habsburg kingdom for independence (cause the Dutch wanted freedom of religion) and the 80 Years War was the result of the Dutch Declaration of independence in 1581. The Spanish King didn't recognize the Dutch Republic as independent, so he basically wanted it back lmao. The two wars intertwined in time, meaning the 80 Year's War started before the Dutch Revolt ended, but they're not the same.

Hey man, pretty fun video to watch, nicely done! I'm only a little bit disappointed that you didn't include 'het rampjaar' or the disaster year, especially since it played a pivotal role in the Dutch history. Other than that, great video!

I love how you used the background of my hometown Enkhuizen in the opening scene! Thank you for that, it surely surprised me!

Thank you for the video. Was waiting for this one

Some important things you are missing: - 1930 Building of the Afsluitdijk - 1953 Zeeland Flooding - Flevoland as new province built from 99% of reclaimed land (1942-1968) - Deltaworks (1950/)1954 - 1997 - Indonesian (1950) and Surinam (1975) independence Sorry for being that typical person who thinks he knows more

Great video! Short, sweet and to the point

Thank you for making this this was so helpful for my research on this topic I’ll definitely put this video in the credits

Your videos are always a treat.

I saw the thumbnail and my head played the little clip of the Netherlands History with Hilbert always queues in his videos.

as a dutchmen, i love it when people try to speak dutch, they always go for a very rural accent like they're speaking dutch but try to sound german while doing it. funny as hell but it does make some words very hard to hear.

Thanks for the history lesson! Just subscribed!

Just what I needed, just what I wanted. This is brilliant, thanks!

Great effort with speaking Dutch! 🇳🇱 I did not understand the first sentence as I was surprised *shocked* you did that From now on you should do that for all vids. Speak the language of the subject

My 3rd great grandfather immigrated from the Netherlands to the US, always found the Netherlands as a very interesting country.

Holy cow, its another great Suibhne video!

Yo keep up he good work ur videos really help me smarter amazing video

You cant win a 3 front war as a minor country. The Dutch: hold my beer.

I would have liked to see more on how the Spanish came to control the area

Omg I waited so long for this

Bedankt voor deze video :) Thanks for this Video :)

Sorry but you made one flaw about ww2 The Netherlands was not invaded to go around the Maginot line, after all going trough Belgium would be enough, it was to secure the ports in North and South Holland to prevent the British and French from taking them. Yes Netherlands was neutral, so was Norway and they also landed there so the Germans despite earlier promises to keep neutrality which would have helped them with Trade issues, decided to invade before their enemies could.

3:28 I notice you put little WIC flags where the VOC didn't operate, which is a nice attention to detail, but utterly lost on anyone who doesn't already know this if you don't tell them. Also it's my understanding that while certainly wealthy and powerful, the VOC didn't do that much for the Netherlands and it's people; Moedernegotie brought significantly more wealth to the nation and populace.

We out here, represent. Impressive Dutch at the beginning btw good job!

Great video :)

Can you do the animated history of Portugal please, they have an incredible history... !

Great video! But I have to point out some mistakes. The VOC in itself didnt make the United provinces wealthy, most of the income came from trade in the Baltic sea, the Dutch called it the 'Mothernode' as 80% of Dutch trade income came from there. In the video is also mentionned that the VOC did trade all around the world. This is false as it was only active in the East-Indies. The Dutch company that was active in the America's and Africa was the WIC, West-Indische Compagnie and it was more of a military company than a trade one.

I was waiting for this video but it's waaay too short!

Great video, short but sweet, I like it.

Oh lol, the drawing of the windmills, thats where i live! Zaanse Schans in the Zaanstad area,

Nice Video, its cool to see the history of my home country. I liked how you tried to prenouce first dutch sentences. Of course you mentioned the VOC, but a that time there were 2 trade company s in The Netherlands, namely the VOC and the WIC( verenigde West Indische Compangie) and they trade in the America s where the VOC trade in Asia. So the setlements in New York, Curacao and Suriname are proporty at that time of the WIC. They had the same rights and duty s as the VOC.

Very good work. :D

Great video! One day I'll make videos like you all! Great video once again! 😊😊😊

G e k o l o n i s e e r d Moest ik even doen

My friend is 50% dutch and 50% indonesian aka Indisch. He told me a story about the Japan invasion and how his grandparents (civilians) got shot at while trying to escape Indonesia. They remember the Japanner more as the Dutch since the citizens became Indisch.

Interesting video with great animation :)

Great video cheers

Canada: Am I a joke to you?

Spices: *exist* The dutch: its free real estate

I love how u tallk in the native langueges for some of the videos and I wish u whould do it more often.

An excellent treat to wake up to this morning!

The Dutch in the intro was like hearing one of my Dutchie Classmates trying to speak English, it’s horrible lol. Well, at least the accent. Also: *_G E K O L O N I S E E R D_*

As a Dutchman, it is my duty to declare that in the name of his majesty, King Willem-Alexander, this video has hereby officially been colonized by the Kingdom of the Netherlands!

very nice! thanks.

Nice that you talked Dutch in the first part!

I'm Dutch but I do not understand it yet it is all very strange at the beginning

You spoke those words so beautiful in the begin of the video! Love it! Understood everything. Even though it sounded like a Frisian accent.

I don't know if you planned it, but it's really cool seeing this video being uploaded exactly 438 years after the Act of Abjuration (aka Plakkaat van Verlatinghe, 26th of July 1581) which is shortly spoken about at 2:06. Probs to that!

That intro sounds like some sort of regional dialect or old-Dutch, but still, not bad :D Greetings from a proud half-Dutchman :3 Bedankt voor de nuttige video! :D

The Netherlands 50% Sea 50% Weed

My boy flexing some dutch

this is extremely abridged lol

No mention of Curaçao, Aruba and Bonaire or the other Caribbean islands who formed pat of the WIC? (West Indisch Companie) I find it agravating how in every video those are forgotten as of today they are still part of the netherlands.

English persons: Netherlands Me, an Spanish intelectual: Nether Lands

Can you do please the history of Belgium

mooie video!

I was one of the fews asking for this video as I am dutch myself, and I'm quite grateful ! Dank u zeer !

You should do one about the Baltic States

Is the promotion still available?

It's a unspoken rule that if a video has the word Nederlands in it you click on it

0:17 that’s just terrible dutch 😂 atleast it’s understandable

I Am Dutch end even i need these subtitels XDXDXDXDXD

If I wanted to read, I would open the book instead of trying to watch a video that has subtitles

I have to correct you on how much wealth the VOC brought to the Netherlands. The VOC waged a lot of wars and had a huge fleet, which drove costs of operations nearly to a bankruptcy of the company. Yes, it brought spices to the Netherlands, but most of the wealth of the Netherlands came from The Hanseatic League by trading produce. Trading in the Hanseatic League was much more profitable than the VOC and brought coinage to the country, standardizing coins and contributing largely to the economic boom of the Hanseatic cities, such as Zwolle, Deventer and Groningen. The Netherlands had a lot of fertile land from claiming land from the sea. This made most of the country very wealthy. The VOC only made the VOC wealthier, but because it was largely funded by the Dutch Republic, it drained a lot of wealth from the economy which was invested in the VOC colonies.

Nexst vid belguim pls

Make the history of Romania next pls

I actually like the audible book recommendation commercial; perfect tie-in.

this is what makes youtube a great place

you oversimplified a lot of the dutch history you should have gone into more detail

3:33 Meanwhile the Russian Empire,Prussia And Austria are destroying The Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth

That moment when you only live (in Germany) 60 min away from your favorite Dutch Coffeeshop :D

Gefeliciteerd ! Congratulations ! A very good video about The Netherlands. Next time, make a video about India.
