Yesss, this is going to be good! Glad you continuing the Netherlands topic :) I know offtopic, but the person who really perfected architecture was Pierre Cuypers or his son. He was really genius, designed both the Central station in Amsterdam, the Rijksmuseum and many other important buildings!
11:01 during most storms, the Afsluitdijk remains open and is safe to drive over. Only the very heaviest storms force that road to close to all traffic. This happens about once every few years. So it's a very reliable connection overall.
You’re right Van Gogh died very poor . He only sold one painting in his lifetime . His brother , his wife and later their son , (also called Vincent) , preserved his work and gave a lot to a Netherlands museum .
Dollars in curacao is probably more a relation to venezuela which it is off the coast of. Venezuelas currency has always been troubled and dollars have alwasy been more trusted. Thats a general thing through the south and central america anyway. Colombia etc.
Yes, the Roosevelt family is originally from the Netherlands. There is a very interesting video on the ancestry of this family on the channel UsefulCharts. The roots of the family are probably in the Zeeland province in the Netherlands.
Private businesses can choose to accept foreign currency in payment if they want to, but it’s not compulsory. In London some of the popular tourist attractions have separate prices in Euros and accept cash in Euros from foreign tourists.
I'm pretty sure it was the Dutch who invented that architectural style. Our kings in Scandinavia really liked it, so they employed the services of lots of Dutch architects and builders.
Your first try on 's Hertogenbosch was great! 👍 In Dutch it means The Duke's forrest. But we Dutchies like to simplify things. So it became Den Bosch, (His forrest). Strangely, Den Bosch has no forrest anymore. It was all cut to create the city. 😂😂
This style of gable architecture probably originated in the Southern Netherlands, in what’s currently Belgium. It’s also the cradle of Dutch culture and civilization. Cities like Bruges, Ghent, Antwerp, Mechelen & Brussels were the places where the Northern Renaissance really took off. This culture migrated north through trade & the Dutch Revolt in the 16th & 17th century. Dutch merchants from the Dutch Republic, later spread their culture across the North & Baltic Seas. Mostly to port cities that were already well connected to the Low Countries through the old Hanseatic League.
You can say we're Dutch and maybe Netherlandian although it is not common. President Roosevelt is inindeed of Dutch descent, he's a descendant of Claes Maertensz van 't Rosevelt (in Dutch you would write Klaas Maartens van het Rozenveld). Your pronunciation of 'S Hertogenbosch was excellent that of Afsluitdijk sucked. 😊
My favourite fact about the geography of the Netherlands is that Holland has 16% of the land area, and 37% of the population. 1637 was the year of the Amsterdam Tulip Bubble.
about the thing in groningen with the so called earthquakes, they arent real earthquakes but pockets of where gas was extracted from collapsing. so it aint that destructive compared to real earthquakes at all!
The toppled building fronts are likely Dutch...since people paid taxes relating to the size of the front face of the building. So in Amsterdam you'll see very narrow houses which are very high, and the toppled facing make for a cheaper but "rich" front. Also you'll see houses with a small front and a wide backside, they're not evenly built.
I hate raisins and olives as well !! I just can’t stand the taste or texture. The Hanseatic League began as a collection of loosely associated groups of German and Scandinavian traders and towns aiming to expand their commercial interests, including protection against robbery. Over time, these arrangements evolved into the League, offering traders toll privileges and protection on affiliated territory and trade routes. Well before the term Hanse appeared in a document in 1267, different cities began to form guilds, or hansas, with the intention of trading with overseas towns, especially in the economically less-developed eastern Baltic. This area could supply timber, wax, amber, resins, and furs, along with rye and wheat brought on barges from the hinterland to port markets. Merchant guilds formed in hometowns and destination ports as medieval corporations and despite competition increasingly cooperated to coalesce into the Hanseatic network of merchant guilds.
The Netherlands have and long tradition from the Vikings time and many wars whe are the best on sea with war whe going from Amerika Australië Afrika exc Harlem and New York whas from the Netherlands leuk ng time ago and five president are Netherlands roots from the silver war and Reagan bush Clinton Obama exc live your channel keep going 👍

Roosevelt is what the name changed into we have NO IDEA why someone wants to change their name into weird Dutch but ... ey guess the yank factor playing here euhhh so yeah Roos means you guessed it : Rose.... and veld is Dutch for field, so the name should be : Rozenveld, wich is modern Dutch, also bare in mind the name known to us also has old Dutch in it and that is spelled very different.

Roosenveld means field of roses. It is a Dutch name and your ex president was indeed from Dutch origin.
