This episode of Ten Minute History (like a documentary, only shorter) covers the rise of Calvinism in the Spanish Seventeen Provinces and the subsequent outbreak of the Dutch Revolt/Eighty Years' War. William the Silent led the United Provinces' (and later Dutch Republic's) bid for independence and he encountered many issues, notably the Duke of Alba and Parma as well as some hiccups in picking a monarch. All of the turmoil forced the Dutch to innovate in matters of commerce and trade whilst having to decide the religious policy of their new state. The Dutch (after losing some territory) would win their independence in 1609 but the Spanish wouldn't accept this until 1648.
Recommended books:
A Concise History of the Netherlands by James C. Kennedy. - A Very good book which goes into great detail about the events of the war and the importance of religious and commercial reform. Very good book.
Christendom Destroyed, Europe 1517-1648 by Mark Greengrass. Another extremely good work, it bounces all over Europe so don't expect to be able to read a chapter on the Dutch and know everything. Fantastic for the religious changes in Europe during the period.
I know I pronounced Ghent incorrectly. I was too lazy to change it. I do have a question to ask you all with respect to pronunciation. Should I from now only use 'native' pronunciations (Willem, Francois, Maurits,) or use English only (William, Francis, Maurice)?
Ten Minute History Native pronunciation please
Ten Minute History native is more realistic yeah
Native ones are too easy to screw up. Just go with the english ones

The birth of a legend

Ahh the Dutch.
Became a Republic in a time of Monarchies and became a Monarchy in a time of Republics.
The old switcheroo
@@Tom-2142 LOL
So, basically, they were hipsters before hipsters were a thing.
Haha! brilliant! I laughed so hard (and as a staunch socialist and republican living in the Netherlands, I cry and cry every day)
Netherlands is a parlamentarian democracy with a king.
The first appearance of our mate James Byzanet, go on lad.
The beginning of the great reign fueled by his burning desire to see how many different ways people would spell his surname.
turn on captions and it says James Bissonnette
There were many results of the Dutch Revolt, but the greatest was the rise of James "I hope I'm pronouncing that correctly" Bizzonnette.
Just imagine that in 10-20 years another history channel will emerge and devote an episode to chronicling James Bisonette and his legendary patronage of youtube history channels.
I was just looking through all his videos to find which one was his first 😂, who is this man
How ironic that the Netherlands used to be one of the few republics in the world and now it’s one of the few monarchies
Woow
Well kinda, some princes ruled certain provinces
There are still a lot of monarchies.
@@paisleepunk
43 to be exact but there are many traditional monarchies that aren't counted
It's effectively more of a crowned republic, but indeed.
A man, A myth, A legend: James Bissonette. Few know how to pronounce his name and even less know the right way to spell it. Long live our sponsor and savior, James!
... What came to be known as [insert coutry name here] Fury.
The Nick Fury.
I was just about to comment that
The Dutch revolt aka 80 year fury
The belorussian fury
Why not *HOLY ROMAN FURY*
"he died... by gunshot. How modern."
I died here.
Dying by youtube comment. How modern.
Just like William of Orange
"But things would get better for him the next year, and with better I mean worse, because he was assassinated" Gotta love the plot twists 😂
@@Kibbelingg and by gunshot with a gun that misfired half the time lol. Matchlocks were so unreliable that if they weren't fully operational they could shoot you as well as the target
Not that funny.
With the Dutch being financed by James Bissonette, there was no way they would lose.
"John took the liberty to die the next year" Brilliant!
Danny R
How modern. ^^
Best civil liberty ever!
Did I just hear the english words saying “Spain was the most powerful state in the world”? By the way I think this was also know as the flanders war!
The founding video of James Bissonette's great patronage. History made right here folks
yes
Fun fact, the Dutch were such merchants that they sold they supplies and weapons to spain during the war and they made a huge profit on it
That's probably why the war went on for *80 YEARS*
Was that some kind of convoluted plan to make Spain spend more than it had to?
@@scotandiamapping4549 I'm no economics expert but I read that the Spanish didn't know about inflation so the fact they could bring in almost limitless supplies of gold and silver was actually what wrecked them financially, combined with their disastrous and prolonged wars.
Selling older weapons, and buying more modern weapons from Sweden with the money gained from Spain. XD
@@TimvanderWeyden Sweden and Switzerland, trading with both Allies and the Axis.
Dutch: wait, that's illegal
James bizonet has been supporting ever since
Makes me wonder if it was his brother or himself?
@@jasmikko I think he is just obsessed with the channel, I don’t blame him.
he has pronounced it correctly it seems tho
People must really hate paying taxes
I don't get why, well back then I can understand because you know....everybody poor. But now people just like to bitch, I only bitch if the service the taxes are supposed to be used for aren't provided.
Taxes are fine as long as they make sense and are used for the good of the taxpayers.
The lesson here is never overtax your citizenry.
Moral lesson:
Never tax your people too much
In fact they're furious about it
I would love to see
An Assassin's Creed taking place during the 80 years war
same!
I want one in the golden era
Casper as a Spaniard I wouldn't be able to play as a Dutch assassin killing my beloved tercios 😭

@@Jim-lg8sf better to not make the game at all, besides, I still have a lot of affection to the Dutch for "always honoring the king of Spain"
9:42 the first appearance of a legend
The Netherlands:
Rebelling against some far away kingdom and forming a united country before the Americans did it.
That's not entirely untrue but very, very misleading.
@@yojasmagic well it's entirely true just misleading comparing it to the Americas
@@nielrelatado3076 the better version
But USA is luckier since there is Atlantic Ocean between them and other major powers, Nederlands on the other hand......
@@nielrelatado3076 Or, or the United States are a Post-Netherlands
Spain: "What are you doing?"
Netherlands: "Minding my own business."
That's so us tho
We have started regularily using some English words and sentences some time ago and 1 of the first sentences we adopted was " mind you'r own business"
It's still something verry precent in our culture now, as long as your not hurting others, everyone should Just "bemoei je met je eigen zaken"
@@femkevanwageningen6068 are you calling me gay?

Fun fact: while Johan van Oldebarnevelt was decapitated, Hugo Grotius (see min 8:47) was locked inside castle Loevestein. He literally escaped by hiding in a giant bookcase. Nowadays, most Dutch people only know his name for this one little fact.
The castle and bookcase in case can still be seen/visited today.
de geschiedenis van nederland zit vol met zulke bazenacties
Well, there is a growing portion that knows Hugo Grotius to be the founder of modern International Law as well. Long live Klokhuis!
Should have culture-converted the provinces.
Just move your capital to Amsterdam and the event wont fire...
Or take humanist ideas
Cultuere conversion has more flavor… "We converted Amsterdam's culture to Burgundian" Sweet.
@@Suleei Humanist ideas won't prevent the damn 40k stack rebels.
I always play as Byzantium and use cheat codes because I just want to see the true Roman Empire restored.

4:30 he took the liberty of dying. ^^
At least the torture and execution of the assassin was very medieval.
Hey if it ain't broke don't fix it! You can't move away from tradition too fast.
Fun fact: the Dutch make fun of the Duke of alba (alva in Dutch) for losing his glasses on April fools, as Den Briel sounds a lot like ye glasses in Dutch, leading to the rhyming phrase 1 April, Alva verloor z'n bril.
En op aprille zes, verloor Alva zijn fles. (And on April the 6th, Alva lost Flushing). Same rhyme joke were fles (bottle) sounds a bit like Vlissingen (Flushing).
In Dutch he is also called the duke of Alba, his nickname Alva doesn’t come from the duchy Alba but from his name, which is Fernando ALVArez de Toledo.
Hahah ik wilde dit net zeggen (hahah I just wanted to comment that)
thomvkoSH no, he is known as Alva, greeting from The Netherlands
@@thomvkoSH oh dat wist ik niet, thanks!
James Bissonette found, and funded, this channel almost first amongst the patreons.
I guess many people wouldn't care and wouldn't fit the video anyway, but it was kind of in context of this revolts and wars against Spain that the dutch occupied some parts of nothern Brazil, having attacked the capital of the colony at the time (Salvador) and having occupied Pernambuco for some time (the city is kind of known here for the many reforms promoted by the dutch and it's a heavy part on the citzen's identity).
Interessante observação.
Ohh. Explains why Suriname has the dutch language present.
You could argue then that this was the first international war (A war fight on multiple continents)
While the VOC is often hailed as the 'Great Dutch Money Maker', it was only the cherry on the trade-cake for the Netherlands.
By far the most money during this period was earned with trading on the Baltic sea for grain and wood. However, since this sounds very dull when compared to trade with the Indies, it is often ignored in (Dutch) history of this period. This so called 'moedernegotie', which basically means 'mother of all trade' earned the Dutch trading cities an overabundance of money, while the VOC (while lucrative and relatively risk-free for the people involved) was a much smaller business. It's impact increased later, as it gave the Netherlands claims to the colonies in those regions during the period of Industrialisation and Nationalism, which is also the time much of the VOC's history was written up by people grabbing back at a 'common history of greatness', which the Dutch thought they could find in the VOC.
No, not really. The Baltic trade was important in that it laid the groundwork for later Dutch exploits. These later exploits (like the VOC) did however create a lot more wealth for the Dutch Republic than the Baltic trade ever did.
What made the VOC so important, besides the innovations in finance, is the fact that the VOC made the Dutch East Indies possible. And that is the real crux in Dutch history: never did the Dutch acquire so much wealth as they did from the Dutch East Indies in the period 1860-1940. That is what made the Netherlands truly the wealthy country it is today. Otherwise the wealth would have gone into real estate or foreign lones, but with control of the Dutch East Indies, the Dutch were able to engage in more reliable and predictable ways of wealth-creation.
Although it was the Baltic trade that started everything for the Dutch, the East Indies trade had more effect on Dutch history overall.
Bij mij op de havo werd moedernegotie gewoon uitgelegd hoor
Nee het is steen inderdaad
Don't forget the slave trade...
@@franek_izerski It was a maximum of 3% of the gross domestic product researchers said.
"thanks to James Bizinet (i hope that i'm pronouncing that correctly) for supporting the channel"
something tells me he had plenty of opportunities to practice the pronounciation
Fun fact, Artrege in Dutch (the Netherlands spoke Dutch in the North and French in the South) is Atrecht, meaning there was the union of Atrecht vs the union of Utrecht.
Isn't it Arras, you mean?
Union of Atrecht x Union of Vtrecht
@@lapland123 No Aachen (Aken) is in Germany, Arras (Atrecht) is in France. Lille also has a Dutch name, which is Rijsel.
@@waterdrager93 Atrecht is the Dutch name for Arras
@@caferustwat I never knew Lille and Rijsel were the same cities
Respect for making the video 9:59 and not ten minutes showing us you make your videos for the love of history not the love of money 👍🏻
It's not like RUclips's bringing independent creators a lot of dough right now. Even though he damn well should have made it 10mins because it's in the title it wouldn't have made him much money anyways. Half the videos I see from very creative and dedicated people usually don't have many ads for them it's a shame.
@@yourhandsomestep-dad2669 It was meant as joke.
@@dams6829
Joke what is joke?
The video is 10:00. As far as I know the duration of every video is lowered by one second when you're watching it. The video has 10:00 if you look at the thumbnail.
It's the opposite, youtube adds a second in the thumbnail. The file for the video is 9:59.02. I didn't want to make my videos 10:01 in the thumbnail because it would infuriate me (and make it look like I was only doing it for more money).
- Mrs Tweedy! The Dutch are revolting!
- Finally, something we agree on.
0:23 I did not expect that!
Nobody did
A country ruled by a faraway land that revolts because it Doesn’t want to pay taxes
Sounds femiliar
The American independence declaration is even based on the Dutch one. Obama saw and recognized three similarities
Freek Mulder there is like only one difference
So Dutch independence is also clearly just a tax evasion and should not be viewed as legitimate. *attacked by Americans and Dutchpeople*
We were also oppressed religiously and tried for years and years to come to a reasonable compromise with the King. The Americans were *far* more petulant about rebelling than we were.
Wim Orsel I would argue we had more balls than the Dutch
Ah yes, the beginning of...
*James Bisonette.*
I like that it seems pretty balanced in that neither Catholics or Protestants are presented as all bad or all good but are both quite morally grey in their actions.
I find the side getting dominated are usually sympathetic, until they get the upper hand and you realise they're just as intolerant.
@@mankytoes Underdogs man, you just have to root for them, even if they're genocidal maniacs
@@mankytoes Yeah like how Chinese communists were better Chinese civilians but when they took over China they became even worse.
Honestly, does _anybody_ give a shit about sectarianism in today's Europe, outside Ireland that is? Try and be neutral about the French Revolution or communists, that's a bit more likely to cause a shitstorm from either side.
The narrator is subjective towards Calvinist protestants on the video...
You're a genius, both spanish and dutch are happy with thIs video...it's a miracle.
Good comment.
Nice, someone who didn't forget the Baltic trade (or Moedernegotie), if underplayed. Most people leave that out entirely even though that was, surprisingly enough, the real money maker.
Also it's probably understated how important the modernization of the Dutch armies were. From levied troops and mercenaries to a trained and regularly drilled standing army (with cannons!).
Especially nowadays, when people are desperate to convince themselves and others that the Netherlands owes the majority of its wealth to slave trade
@@oilslick7010 ironically enough, a while back the government made a "proud to be Dutch" package to send to the younger generation and they were like "where's the bad part of our history?" (because it is; our ancestors went to African villages and bought all the prisoners they had from other tribes and managed to ship roughly 12M people). Our educational system teaches history as it happened, we all agree it was bad; no one is pretending it didn't happen (just the gov. being dumb) or saying it wasn't that bad.
@@tiaxanderson9725 Bro, your profile picture gave me UwU vibes. You like nux taku?
@@tiaxanderson9725 12M is the transport total of all slaves that made it to the americas. Aka. the total transatlantic slave trade of all participants.

MY FIRST THOUGHT
James Bissonette lore runs deep.
Finally found the first ever mention of James Bizonette!
This video should be compulsory for every primary school in the low countries. It gives a very good and accurate summary of one of the most important occurrences of our history. Know none of the like in this quality. Kudos for the British (I reckon) makers.
Translating 'Watergeus' as 'Sea Beggar' is very unfortunate and inaccurate though.
@@Quetzietse Why is that? It is the English name for them. And the correct translation, apart from maybe water beggars.
@@Quetzietse what does it actually mean
@@Linki8uu A better translation would be 'Water-patriots.' We have the concept of a 'Geuzennaam' over here in which a dergoatory concept is embraced to overthrow the stigma. Yes, in French it means 'beggar' but it's changed meaning as 'patriot' in Dutch is precisely the point of the Watergeuzen. Or just recognize it by not translating in the first place, we don't translate 'Janissary' to 'New Soldier' in English and neither do people call 'Berserkers' as 'Bear-skin warriors.' They are their own term, there is no need to translate it and lose the significance of what makes these names special to begin with. Translating it as 'beggar' is a translation that is completely ignorant of what the term means to the Dutch and what the actual history of this group is, what makes them deserve their own name and designation in the annals of history in the first place. It is like some conservative hyper Christian 70 year old trying to name Pokemon, it is cute and funny I guess but the person doing the naming is obviously ignorant of what Pokemon even are in the first place.
You miss the actual origin of the term, though: In 1566, Louis of Nassau and van Brederode , with large parts of the nobility, handed a petition of grievances, concerning the brutal Spanish rule, over to the regent, Margaret, Duchess of Parma. Margaret was worried about the large mass of people, coming to the palace. Legend has it that at this point one of her councillors, Berlaymont, remarked, in French : " Fear Not! - They are only beggars ( gueux) !" Van Brederode then turned this sentence into the positive, as sth. to be proud of; - if need be, he and his patriotic party, that started the nationalist resistance movement, were absolutely ready to become beggars for their country's course.
Those people from Antwerp moved to Amsterdam(6:25), but before they did, they asked Middelburg(capital of Zeeland) if they could move there. Middelburg said no, and so the people moved to Amsterdam. They made Amsterdam the capital. If the people from Antwerp were allowed to stay in Middelburg, then Middelburg would have been the capital of the Netherlands.
Middelburg and Vlissingen were boom towns around the 1600, but Walcheren is a small island and Zeeland is a small province. The Baltic trade that was essential for the food supply was also a Northern Dutch thing.
Loving the Monty Python reference at 0:24 "Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition!"
The British had their own inquisition:
-Persecution of Catholics. Expulsion of the Puritans.
-Persecution of the Irish
-Famine in India, with millions dead
-Monopoly of black slavery
-Children aged 5-12 in the English industrial revolution, pulling coal carts...
"What are you doing?"
"Minding my own business..."
I totally expected a Monty Python reference as soon as the Spanish Inquisition was mentioned
So you expected that nobody would expect... okay never mind I did not see this paradox coming.
0:22 I really didn't expect them.
For anyone interested Grotius was instrumental in inspiring Viscount Stair a Scottish Lawyer who's work on the Scottish private law helped make it one of the few mixed legal systems on the planet with a combination of continental European (pre-revolution) and English common law systems!
Great video as always!

This is a fantastic and concise collection of the 80 years war, thank you very much. You've managed to stuff a lot of information into a ten minute video and still hit all the major events and their effects.
Another fantastic video! Also love how you never seem to fail to have someone in your video run through field of daisies!
omg this was the first appearance of JAMES BISSINETTE
"James Bisonette...I hope I'm pronouncing it correctly"...I hope so too as you'll be saying it for years to come.
"Iconoclastic Fury" in Dutch is called "Beeldenstorm", which literally translates to "Statues Storm". The Dutch version is so much more poetic.
You could've made a mention to the overseas war against Portugal, who was united by crown with Spain at the time.
Actually, we weren't yet. We would only be united with Spain by crown 2 decades later.
I love the idea that James Bissonette just watched a couple of videos and then sent in a patreon subscription, only to graduate and now doesn’t even watch anymore, but he’s now a martyr in the channel community.
Showing the year about which you talk in the screen would be of great value. Thank you for your great animations. I'm learning A LOT.
Just subscribed. These are great little condensed histories. You actually answered (in the United Kingdom of the Netherlands vid.)a longstanding question I've had about the Belgian Revolution. The United Provence's and the Spanish/Austrian Netherlands always seemed like two entirely separate States so I couldn't figure out why the Belgians needed to rebel. I wasn't aware that the Counsel of Vienna bought them together under one kingdom. Thanks for the insight and keep up the good work. Your channel is like Cliff Notes for historians who get tired of referring to Wikipedia. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
As a Dutchman, I'm not disappointed, which is new! There were some things I'd have found important you glanced over, but I'm pretty happy with it.
Also, you mispronounced like everything (although you pronounced Naarden (next to my hometown) correctly!) , so if you ever need help to pronounce Dutch and German terms, you know who to ask ;)
1 out of 80 isn't bad.
@@HistoryMatters to be honest for an anglophone you tried to at least approximate the Dutch sound, which comes highly appreciated hahaha.
The main thing I'd try and learn (and I tell all foreigners wishing to pronounce Dutch correctly) is the g/ch sound :)

Since James seems to be the first always, the fact I found a video where you were not sure how to pronounce his name, destroys my theory that the narrator of History Matters is in fact James
Well done well done it's always interesting that a short concise history, being American I try to study European history but it's difficult I greatly appreciate this work
I love all of these
The ''Spanish Fury'' that sacked Antwerp is now the unofficial motto of the Spanish National Football Team along with ''La Roja'' (''The Red'').
Morocco was the first to recognized the independence of the 7 dutch districts the Estados as we used to called them at that time after the treaty of Lahy 24 December 1610
I thought it was the Ottoman Empire which was the first to recognise the Dutch Republic, but maybe I'm wrong.

Theirs so much furies, instead of the 80 Years War, call it the War of Fury, sounds like a more interesting war.
Most years the war was basically limited to proceeding and the (attempted) conquest of a few cities or so.
There were few battles.
