0:15 well, Switzerland and the Netherlands technically share the same independence day. On two different treaties that formed together the peace of westphalia and were signed on the same day. On one of those treaties Switzerland was formelly granted independence from HRE (effectivley they got independence many years earlier) and on the other one the Netherlands although they fought for independence for 80 years.
Apperently, Dutch soldiers in the Napoleonic era of the early 19th century introduced their card game "Klaverjassen" to the Swiss. They liked it so much and developed it further to their national card game "Jass" with several variations. In fact, "Jass" is so prevalent that in colloquial Swiss German, they call every card game "Jass" regardless if it has the characteristic features of it or not. But there you have another connection between Swiss and the Netherlands.
very simple connection between swiss and dutch both were the only ones in western europe who managed to stay neutral(altho the dutch just barely with the english wanting to invade us because the germans wanting to invade us and vice versia cries)
In Hungarian we also have a word for schadenfreude which is “káröröm” it literally translates to “damage-happiness” and it means the same thing as in German
Petition for Drew to make both a Brazilian Empire and Second Mexican Empire countryball plushies! Both were Latin American monarchies and contemporaries of each other in the 19th century.
I am european I understood the Liechsentein joke. Basically they though htey would transfer a square milimeter, an area measurment where it is equivelent area to a 1 mm by 1 mm square. To but that into prespective a kilometer is around 1.6 miles in freedom units for the americans and a milimeter is if you took 1/1 000 000ths of that. But because in metric the units scale by the powers of 10(1,10,100 etc.) a Mm2 is an area equal to a 1000 km by a 1000 km across square so Basically they gave away around 621371.192 mi2 of territory
0:10 Switzerland and the Netherlands have a lot of connections/similarities: 1. Both are literally connected through the Rhine River. It starts in Switzerland and ends in the Netherlands. 2. Both have technically the same Independence Day. 3. They also share a long tradition of Calvinism. 4. Both border Germany and France. (On St. Maarten for the Netherlands) 5. The Netherlands and Switzerland are about the same size. 6. Both have a long history in finance and banking. (The stock market and banks) 7. They were both neutral countries in WWI and WWII although the Netherlands got invaded in WWII. And there are probably even more connections between the two. 🇨🇭❤🇳🇱
The Netherlands and Switzerland do link to each other. Namely by surface area. with the Netherlands at place 133 of 236 countries listed in the country surface area rankinglist and Switzerland at place number 134 respectively. Total Dutch km2 is 41543km2 and Swiss is 41285km2. So this does make the difference only 258km2!! Although there is a big difference in land/water ratio. with the Netherlands containing many more water-containing square kilometers than Switzerland of course.
Actually in Liechtenstein they speak Swiss (you will insult me after this) Swiss is a non-language but at the same time it is a language because it is a dialect spoken in the German region of Switzerland (trust me they speak more Swiss in both Switzerland and Liechtenstein than German)
0:14 They have a similar land mass/area 🤷🏻♀️. Really the only similarity ik between The Netherlands and Switzerland. Other than them both using a Germanic language (fully or partially).

Netherlands & Swisserland are very much linked,they are the two products of the 30 years war and the reformation as a whole.
Also they both speak funny German.
That they both are a mix of 3 languages
(Netherland: Germany France England)
(Switzerland: Italy France Germany)
also they are the polar opposites... low lands vs high lands
also both 'neutral' in ww1
And they have at least in parts a shared history as the remaining parts of the Middle Age Dukedom of Flanders and Burgundy.
