i am from gelderland , my city (Zutphen) use to be a reginal trade HUB , capital in the medieval times and still has a lot of old towers and old city walls.
Fun fact, limburg used the be atleast half part of gelderland before the united 7 provinces of the netherlands was founded. Dating back all the way somewhere in the 900s Gelderland also has the smallest city in the world, staverden
About Arnhem, they forgot important history info: Arnhem was one of the 3 cities the allies wanted to capture the 3 most important bridges back from the Germans during WWII, to enter Germany and end the war. They started in Eindhoven on to Nijmegen and Arnhem was the last city. Unfortunately this operation, named Market Garden, ended badly in Arnhem. Still every year we remember the fallen, every year the veterans who are still alive, will come together with their family or the family is still honoring their fallen fathers. In 1976 or 1977 there was a movie made of this important operation: A Bridge Too Far, starring Robert Redford, Sean Connery and others.
I live in Harderwijk, Gelderland. Some say it's on the Veluwe and some say it's near or on the border of the Veluwe. I think we have the first aquaduct (a bridge for boats instead of cars and the cars go underneath this bridge, wanna know more just look it up 😉) Just a fun, chill, relaxed city to live
They always find amazing subjects about the Netherlands, good informative channel. I advice Highly not to live on the vulcano, it can destroy you cause you have nowhere to go. No, its much saver to sit behind a pile of dirt wich hold back an ocean. ❤ Thanks my man, i enjoyed this one.
9:00 they are not wrong.! Holland is just a province, but we Dutchies do call our country Holland aswell sometimes.! i mean just hear the soccer fans of the dutch national team sing... haha ( the orange team ) but yea our country, or kingdom for that matter, is called The Netherlands... ( for a reason )
And about Noord-Brabant in Netherlands and Zuid-Brabant in Belgium, between 1815 and 1830 both countries were one, until the Belgian revolution started in Brussels. Officially Belgium is indepedent since 1831
@12:48 This bible belt actually continues through (much less though) Germany up to Denmark to end in northern Norway.👴🧐 In Dutch it is "bijbelgordel", but there are more names. I like "De Kraaienloop" (The Crow walk) most.👴😉😁
4:26 There are different approaches to it. For instance when the central government has some nonsensical rule, Frisians are more likely to protest, while limburg will probably say yes and then ignore it and Brabant will ignore it as long as possible and then protest.😂 (The cultural differences have historical reasons.)
Firework disasters are extremely common around new years, but 'the firework disaster' is definitely still fresh in people's minds. It's like the dutch equivalent of the explosion in Beirut, but it was also a big firework show that everybody knew about. I was 6 when it happened, and I remember this happening despite living on the other side of the country.
I'm Frisian born and bred and was very disappointed that they didn't mention the Skûtsjesilen-races and the Wadden-islands Terschelling, Vlieland and Ameland and the Wadden-sea. Try to find video's about this wonderful piece of our country, it's a UNESCO-site and so beautiful.
Hello HXC, you said at some point that as a Dutchman you would go to the Caribbean during the winter. Keep in mind that a return flight easily costs $640 per person, and that doesn't include a stay there. So getting away for a while during the holidays, for example, is unaffordable for most Dutch people....
Fun fact, in Limburg we actually speak "Diets" one of the most influentual Germanic accents. Oh, and Novio Magnum (Nijmegen) or Mosa Trajectum (Maastricht) are NOT the oldest settlements. It's Corriovallum (Heerlen), my home town. 🙃
19:20 Learned something new. Didn’t know that about the Heineken kidnapping. At first, when they talked about a criminal in the Dutch Caribbean, I thought they were talking about Joran van der Sloot. I was like, they are talking about the wrong island.😂
Holland and Zeeland, both situated on the coast, were the two most powerful provinces during the Golden Age in which these seafaring nations discovered many undiscovered territories such as Australia and New Zealand, which were given the names New Holland and New Zeeland. It is not difficult to see which of the two stuck to its name. Still New Zealand traditionally is being written using a Dutch-z.
Almere:289000-Lelystad 82000 citizens.And maybe a few honderd farmers..In Flevoland stolen from the sea!And it maybe not a mountain,but from the lowest point off Flevoland its a mountain!!
They were wrong about Flevoland consisting only out of polders as Urk is part of it, the former island is the only Dutch municipality which has been part of three extant Dutch provinces.
10:17.. ZWOLLE not zwole 11:00.. Utrecht, UTRECHT>.. not Utrect.. people from Utrecht might say.. UTREG.. but thats just a pronounciation or slang.. why dont they say anything about the "domtower" all people from Utrecht know the "DOM" come on guys, do your homework.? i am from uthrecht so it was a little bit offensive to me, sorry XD BTW f*ck Amsterdam -.-
Hi HxC, I'm very happy you learned so much about NL. You may be very proud of your self.👍👍

I was born in Arnhem
@@TheJolanda01 i was born near Arnhem, in Duiven, live in Arnhem for more than 20 years.
Arnhem is the Capitol of Gelderland not Nijmegen
@@nickybookz222 it was already mentioned in the video 😉
They have made a movie about the kidnapping of Heineken. It is a good watch and the plot is genius. So if you have the change do watch it.
I live in Harderwijk, Gelderland.
Some say it's on the Veluwe and some say it's near or on the border of the Veluwe.

Zwolle with one L?
How difficult is it these days to get the spellings right? 😱
Utrecht without the H
Amsterdam with a X
I'm from Assen!!! It's a nice small city... nice to see they named it..
That was very interesting and with a funny twist. Loved it! Thanks for sharing!
Auke is cool and I'm happy they din't skip Noord-Brabant this time. (it's what they did in their previous The Netherlands video)
9:00 they are not wrong.!
Holland is just a province, but we Dutchies do call our country Holland aswell sometimes.!
i mean just hear the soccer fans of the dutch national team sing... haha ( the orange team )
but yea our country, or kingdom for that matter, is called The Netherlands... ( for a reason )
my family on my mom's side where some of those people that moved from amsterdam to almere.
And about Noord-Brabant in Netherlands and Zuid-Brabant in Belgium, between 1815 and 1830 both countries were one, until the Belgian revolution started in Brussels.

The Netherlands Bible belt actually looks like a belt compared to the usa
Minute 6:40 There is written Vaaserberg. They forgot the L. It is the Vaalserberg
Hahaha epic, and quite true Definitely those many words for *** weather, loved you reaction
In 1672 also many castles were destroyed. We would have had a lot more nowadays if not for that.

Bolo pretu(black cake) is delicious, i dont like raisons and plumbs but the cake😋🤤😋🤤
What we call a mountain you call a hill
What we call a hill, you call a slight incline

Capital of Overijssel is Zwolle, not Zwole
Nothing about Limburgse vlaai??? How odd.
I'm from the province Utrecht and honestly it's the best province
They were wrong about Flevoland consisting only out of polders as Urk is part of it, the former island is the only Dutch municipality which has been part of three extant Dutch provinces.
Those earth quakes are caused by the way they are drilling it could be done safely, but due to financial reasons they dont.
Assen has a racetrack... The DUTCH MOTO TT is raced here annyally!!!!!!!!!
Holland is a nickname kinda like America is the nickname of The United States of America.
Have you been already to the Netherlands?
