As a Dutchie it's quite commical that the narrator used an German accent instead of something vagely resembeling Dutch.😅 German accents have a distinct 'z' sounds like 'piratz' that Dutch certainly doesn't have for example. But nice video regardless.😉
Ook al is het een Duits accent ik vind alle pogingen om te negeren dat Nederlands uit Germaans is ontstaan ook een beetje slecht hoor. En heel waarschijnlijk klonk het Nederlands 400 jaar geleden wat Duitster in het Engels.
@rikzuzu8226 eigenlijk heb je wel een punt. Nederlands, net als elke taal, is natuurlijk ontwikkeld; Dus is ons accent ook ontwikkeld. En omdat oud Nederlands meer als Germaans klinkt, en Germaans voor oons als Duits klinkt kan het best dat Nederlands uit de Gouden Eeuw wat meer klonk als Duits. Goed punt. Het enige dat dit argument tegen zou gaan is als je uit Drenthe komt
At 2:42, you say they even took a ship home. This was not just any ship, it was the HMS Royal Charles. The pride of the English fleet. It was a big humiliation for the English.
They couldn't use it because it had too big a draught for the shallow Dutch home waters, so the anchored it before the coast and made it into a tourist attraction. It got visitors from all over Europe until the King of England protested the humiliation so much they gave in to help the lasting peace. It was demolished but the Transom was spared and now hangs above a door in the Rijksmuseum, it's said to prevent a lot of Stendhal syndrome.
@AwoudeX Oh, thank you. Because our descendants are now demanding money from us because of the history of slavery. So, we should actually be demanding money from them. And they haven't even paid for the trip yet.
@apveening so why it was left out in the video ? Because even if they named it NewYork , all the boroughs kept Dutch names , Brooklyn = Breukelen , Harlem = Haarlem etc........and so on....
@apveening during the Third Anglo-Dutch War, the Dutch retook the colony of New Netherland Renamed it New Orange. after the signing of the Treaty of Westminster the Dutch territories were relinquished to the English.The names New Netherland and New Orange reverted to the English versions of "New York" and "New York City, Suriname became an official Dutch possession in return
It wasnt traded. Thats a lie they tell in our schools. By that time the dutch empire was being outrun by countries like UK and Spain simply because they had a larger population. It wasnt a trade. It was "we take new amsterdam, you can get suriname or get nothing? Your choice".
2:16 another example of the advantage of "being nice" is that later on they were allowed to continue trading with Japan after they kicked out other European traders.
@2295timon And that is really sad. A lot of people like me live in Europe but don't have any connection with the EU then only with their own country which is good.
Yea thats not a dutch accent.. one of my biggest pet peeves is Americans calling Dutch people german... and they do it all the time.. since they don't understand the freaking diffrence between Deutsch and dutch
@AnneBras-y3g and we can take 🤦🏽♂️ you are Dutch right 😂 yes we can pullout food out of a wall but this you have also in Germany Belgium and every country that want money fast 😂 but it’s not coming from the duchess but from amerikaaa, it’s also a American fast food ? But all over the world they use the pullout system, we dutch people have it still because it’s very f fast
Ik heb het zelf ook verkeerd uitgelegd. Maar Nederland heeft in eerste instantie New Amsterdam geruild met de Guyana's. Dit is nu Guyana en Suriname. De Britten veroverde daarna een stuk van de Guyana's maar Suriname bleef over waardoor dit de naam kreeg: Nederlands-Guyana.
this was by far the most fun history lesson I ever had, I would sure have nailed all my tests if this video was here back when I was still in school🤓 greetings from the Netherlands
Not mentioned : In 1609 the dutch started trading with Japan alongside the Portugese. In 1639 the Portugese were trown out of Japan ( unlike the dutch, they wanted to enforce christianity) , so the VOC (dutch indies company) got the sole tradinbg rights with Japan forr over 200 y ( untill 1859.).
I'm a direct product of this history. I am fluent in a 'form of Dutch' even though I am not Dutch. There are quite a few historical inaccuracies here but hey this is RUclips and it's fun to watch.
Not only that, the Western Allies only fought 25% of the German forces from the start of Operation Barbarossa to the day Stalin took Berlin. 75% of the entire German war effort was for and on the Eastern Front. And STILL it took the so "powerful" Anglo-American coalition YEARS.....STALIN SAVED EUROPE FROM NAZISM.
@evertjan9479 Nope Stalin first signed a deal with the Nazi's to divid Poland in 1939 (The Molotov-Ribbentroppact. deal. After they were betrayed by the Nazi's in 1941, they allied with the Americans got planes and tanks and other supplies from them that helped save them from the Nazi's. However do not ever say that they saved us from the Nazi's, when they started WW2 hand in hand with the Nazi's.
As a dutch american person with a american mother and a dutch father the dutch were the first to salute the american flag they colonized new york from the portugese the dutch funded the american war of independence without the dutch no american as we know it also the decloration ,of independence took heavy inspiration from the dutch Pact van verlatingen we owe the invention of capatalism because of the dutch the dutch and americans can be very similar but also very different
Thank u for making this video, nowadays most Americans still have the assumption France was their biggest supporter for the Independence, although they offcourse did help out (in their own interest because of the rivalery with the UK/England), but the Dutch reckognized in the American struggle for independence their own independence struggle 200 years before that against Spain, hence our big support financially and military (equipment), next to fact offcourse it was considered at that time as a good investment for our money. So for the Dutch it was a 2 sided blade, we helped a people in their independence and we could make some profit on the long term, next to the fact we could also deal some political blows to the UK/England (same as why France helped the USA).
Johannes de Graaff. That's the guy who made the America's a country. The French fought alongside the Americans, but there is no french president, there is however a dutch president (#8 Martin van Buuren if I remember correctly his name).
@JimmyWaserookbij The Roosevelts were descendants from Dutch (Franklin Delanio and later Theodore) immigrants. I believe Grant and John Adams had dutch immigrant roots aswell, but i am not 100% sure. Van Buren was the only president whose native language was Dutch and not English. Yeah... not all direct...., i was a bit too eager to reply, but 2nd or 3rd generation is pritty close enough ;) and a lot of USA former presidents were either from Dutch immigrants or with a Dutch connection to Leiden because of the Pilgrim Fathers who lived their before they left to the Americas, like Coolidge, Taylor, Quincy Adams and the Bush family (snr. and jnr.) were descendants of the Pilgrim Fathers.
Specerijen waren schaars in Noord-Amerika en Nieuw Amsterdam was niet bepaald winstgevend. Nederland had de Engelsen destijds kunnen verdrijven, maar dat kostte meer dan het opleverde. Dus sloten ze een deal met de Engelsen, waarbij ze Nieuw Amsterdam afstonden in ruil voor Guyana en Suriname. Nederland richtte zich vervolgens op het Verre Oosten met de VOC, wat een enorme hoeveelheid inkomsten genereerde.
@aheroyaheroyalproductions7631 Overal waar Nederland was vertegenwoordigt, moesten de Engelsen ook zijn. Want de Engelsen dachten; Waar Nederlanders zijn valt veel geld te verdienen. En dat viel behoorlijk tegen met de overname van Nieuw Amsterdam.
At the time, the Dutch Republic existed as a republic long before the "United States" and the "Declaration of Independence" were even ideas. The Dutch did help finance the American Revolution after Yorktown and got the money back with interest (they subsequently also had further loans given to the US to build their nation after the British left, all of which were also paid back with interest some decades before the US Civil War). Then the French Revolution happened, Napoleon invaded and took over the Netherlands, the Dutch East Indies Company came to an end, then the republican experiment came to an end when Napoleon installed his own brother as the King of the Dutch. Today, "Gekoloniseerd" (meaning "[you are] colonized") is now a Dutch internet meme and unlike most European colonial powers of the day, most Dutch today in hindsight support the colonization effort their ancestors did (includes the rampant pillaging and ethnic genocides) and are cognizant it resulted in the wealthy, over-engineered, land-reclaimed nation they are known today... also aside the King apologizing for colonization back in the 2010s, today they are not very apologetic for what they did as a colonial power... plus they invented the stock market and the current system of capitalism most of us use and know of today. Gekoloniseerd!
@MalikaCatalano-mb7sbSommige mensen vinden dat stoer, die "VoC mentaliteit" (Balkenende). Hitler, Musolini, Trump, Putin vinden zoiets ook gewééldig. Het is dus zeer relatief
We definitely weren't nice to all colonies lol. Also a huge invention was the "fluitschip" a ship that was way faster than other war ships. And since the ship was so small, they could for example trade with Denmark who taxed ships based on the width of ships. We were also the only country Japan would trade with. Also a huge factor was that most countries tried to force religion on their colonies and the dutch didn't. But some we definitely also did some shady shit on the plantations, like cutting of hands if quotas werent achieved.
Not mentoned : In 1667( after the 2nd Angl-dutch war) the dutch traded New Amsterdam with the british for a piece of South America ( rich spices, timber, minerals, aluminium, ) next to British Gyana, which is nowadays called Suriname. This is called the Manhatten Transfer ( in 1972 a US pop-group adapted that name)
It's good, but not perfect. It's missing names, places, and dates of importance. There is a lot more to know if you really want to understand the significance (and the humanity) of the dutch empire. We have no comparison in history. First hegemony in the world systems theory. Our track-record in human rights is so good (especially compared during that time and the immense power we held), that no other nation of comparable power (which aren't many actually, more akin to a roman empire for it's time, with the brits being the Assyrian empire) has such a low-footprint on dehumanizing practices (i.e. slavery, genocide, colonization, etc). But somehow, we are the worst in history (by those who drop things on their head to make themselves feel better... i.e. their communist hatred for everything good), because our 'companies' had people that dabbled in the slavetrade, and we built harbours that are considered colonies now, and we had 'land property' amongst some of our rich entrepeneurs that built farms that they mostly bought (if not uninhabited islands) from the natives. People are so angry at us, it's almost like we are christians. We get the same hate, for being so good. Kinda makes you wonder, if everyone else is just fucking evil, and we were just really close to god.
Agreed, the s/l(a+v/e trade was unforgivable, what happened in south Africa is crazy. Wild not mentioning it, but saying their success was due to being nice is even crazier... 😮! Those were some brutal and heartless times...
As a fan of the Netherlands and the gouden Eeuw meaning golden age there clearly isn’t many videos on these so big appreciated for the video about the Netherlands
It actually means golden century and is a 100-yearish period from the 1570s to the 1670s. These days people want to make it about the VOC and pretend it was the 17th century, but it started much earlier and by the time the VOC started to return profits it was already well in it's second half.
Mosterd na de maaltijd gezien de vele reacties hieronder, toch doe ik even een duit in het zakje met betrekking tot de stemmen van 'de Nederlanders' 😂. Een heel leuk filmpje, maar o wat slecht dat de stemmen van de 'Hollanders' als half-duits-fransen klinkt !
The guy made a great informative video. Instead of commenting about his accent, criticizing it, you can perhaps subscribe or appreciate that he is sharing some things most people probably never heard about the Dutch.
They did not just take 'one 'ship, they took the Britisch Admiral ship, towed it to the Netherlands where it was anchored at the port of Amsterdam. It was used as a brothel for sailors comming back home from oversees.
To be fair, there was nothing nice about it, in most colonies it was just expansion for profit, with no regard for native accept for divede and conquer purposes. The Dutch were only 2nd to the british in the slave trade, and one of the latest western powers to abolish it, and even then it was continued illegally. After that another system was invented to keep doing what they were doing, within another "legal" context to bring Africans to colonies, same as Dubia nowadays.
I think a point a lot of people miss when it comes to the start of the dutch golden age, was the invention of the sawmill, this meant we were building ships at much lower labor cost then other nations.
As a Dutch person, I get incredibly irritated by Americans who pretend the Dutch speak English with a German accent. Nine out of ten Dutch people speak better English than the average American.
As a Dutch person, I'm with you on the first part of your comment. The second part however, nine out of ten Dutch people speaking better English than the average American? Nah, that's what we all like to think. But no.
Historically, English speakers used "Deutsch" broadly for Germanic speakers; over time, it morphed into "Dutch" for Low Germanic speakers (Netherlands) and "German" for High Germanic speakers (Germany).
No, you'd be surprised how many Dutchies can't talk English properly. I can't get rid of my accent when i talk English. Although i can read and understand highly technical manuals.
Dude, there’s one big misconception that can be found in all these kinds of videos. The Dutch trade empire didn’t start with either the V.O.C. or the W.I.C. The Dutch were around the 1300s confronted with subsidence of such significance that tilling wheat, barley and other grains became almost impossible. Therefore they looked at the Hanseatic League, which was rather easy, because several eastern cities in the Netherlands were part of this league. The very first trade initiatives were very much focused on the East Sea, where Dutch traders found the grains and also plenty of timber with which they built their ships. Consequently they became a fierce competitor of the Hanseatic League, from the lucrative trade to East Sea, the first initiatives sprang up to expand the trade to other sides of the world.
It's called the Baltic Sea in English. The VOC was founded by the Dutch government to fight and rob the Spanish and Portuguese enemy in Asia, which was economically viable because thanks to the Ottoman blockade of the Silk Road and the blockade for Dutch ships of Lisbon, spices had gotten extremely expensive. The Hanseatic league was already in decline and the Dutch basically took over the majority of it's trade thanks to working cheaper. The invention of the saw mill allowing for 30 times faster ship building, the efficient Fluyt ship and the Amsterdamse wisselbank with low interests and reliable transactions.
@DenUitvreter So nothing to do with brutal piracy?? Why cal the Portuguese Empire an enemy? Dutch grew because they were pirates and those were, even as competitors, very useful to the British Empire.
@vincenthuying98It indeed appears to be a skill. The Dutch dominance of the Baltic and North Sea trade only started 10 years earlier than the VOC was founded. Before that the Dutch were only one of several big players.
@buteos8632 Because Portugal joined the Iberian Union and therefore became part of the Spanish Empire, the enemy that wanted to destroy the Dutch Republic and cleanse it of all protestants. There was no British Empire yet, just an island stuck in the Dark Ages with it's merchants having to look outside Europe as they couldn't compete with the Dutch and had to go somewhere where their guns mattered.
En toch hebben ze een veel hechter band met hun oude vijand de Engelsen dan degene ,Nederlanders en de Fransen, die hun onafhankelijkheid en vrijheid bracht. Het voelt voor mij als stank voor dank!🤔
3:29 tho, we still had very unfavorable trades they thought were favorable for them, and we kinda just ... joinked a few people and basically forces them to work for us, but I guess we were one of the most friendly.
The Dutch being nice part, is also why in lots of these old colony countries, they still speak bits of Dutch and most people still respect the Dutch tremendously. I've been to Indonesia, as my grandmother fled from Indonesia during the Japanese war, to the Netherlands. They were all happy to see Dutch people, just like on Aruba, Bonaire and Curacao. Still, the Dutch also did bad things to colonists, they weren't always that nice.
Can agree. My bloodline also involves people who are from Indonesia and not all colonists and natives weren't so eager of the other. So badly it resulted in deadly conflicts and executing of innocent people on either side.
@buteos8632 shoot. . . . pitty thoo, we have to admit. all m yarab nabers recal the terrible things i did during kolonial times when a subject as slavetraid come to order,, , , they think they invented science
Een ding klopt niet helemaal. De Oost-Indische Companie was niet aleen een Nederlandse compagnie maar van De Zeven Verenigde NEDERLANDEN waartoe ook het toenmalige BELGIË behoorde.
Of the two theories about how Wall Street was named, that's not one of them. It's either because of a wall that was built to protect against the French, British, and native Americans. The street parallel to it was the street next to the wall, aka Wall Street. The other theory is that it refers to Wallonia. Walen, in Dutch, refers to people from Wallonia.
Could have been a decent video, if more time was spend into research and sloppy errors were ironed out. One example: the WIC who had the monopoly on Dutch trade between The Netherlands and North/central/South America, is not mentioned.
Complete skip on "de kleine vaart" eg the Dutch complete trade dominance of the Baltic and North Sea. While the spice trade was more fancy the Baltic trade made more money as was higher volume.
Much more frequent also. I thought the 'kleine vaart' was the rivers and the lakes and the Baltic Sea trade was the "moedernegotie". Basically the Dutch merchants did 3/4 of the former "Hanseatic League" trade and expanded it. The Duch had more merchant ships than the rest of Europe combined.
@DenUitvreter You are right, that's called the 'moedernegotie'. Meaning mother of all trade, since most Dutch wealth was based on that. And not on spice trade, which of course is more spectaculair, trading all around the world. Other people who want to focus on the negative sides of history suggest that slavery brought us all the wealth, and that's why Amsterdam looks the way it is. Nope, just mostly trade in weath and timber in the Baltic Sea.
@martijnj3919 The whole Dutch Golden Age was already well in it's 2nd half when the Dutch gave up on their objection to the Atlantic slave trade in 1637 and when the VOC finally started returning profits in 1633.
Little known fact: some early printed copies (Dunlap broadsides) of the Declaration of Independence, made for immediate distribution in 1776, were printed on paper with a Dutch watermark, likely from Zaandam, a town renowned for the paper mills.
crazy video and nice animated first time forr me and crazy expirience love how the story tells a lot in a funny way!! -bigg props to you -though there could be some things that you can change although it is trough what you are saying you missed some importand parts like the dutch where tho big slave traders and abusing them to work on colonies like in suriname and the wic although the missing information it is stiill on of the best history videos i have ever seen keep up and big props to you!!!!! - a Dutch guy
Actually, the Dutch weren't big slave traders and the slave trade was a tiny part of the Dutch trade. It was a big moral issue but that is a different matter.
It's power was limited by the shallow home waters, that's why the English could sometimes challenge it. Bigger heavier gunships with more guns was advantageous but gave a too deep draught for the Dutch waters. So they had to compensate with advanced tactics and coordination with lighter ships.
Very nice video! Just curious though, why are you doing first a German, then a sort of Jamaican accent and then back to a German accent for Dutch people? 🤦♀️
Just realize, holland had the trade stock more Than 600 yrs ago . To make prices to products that the dutch marine in those Times Brought in and to Make price for what the pirates Did On the sea to justify it in stocks of Worth on how many is spended on it , How many dutch pirates for example died , or how many they should have to kill to take some silver or gold or very rare Ingredients and spices
The VOC used their power to monopolize trade from designated areas. Natives that did not agree or adapt were killed. So... we Dutch weren't really being "friendly". In Indonesia inhabitants of some of the islands were annihilated because they did not comply with the VOC rules of trade. And let's not even mention slavery 😒.
Most of the slavery was some time before the VOC when about 1 million Europeans were raided from the western coasts and were forced to work for the islamists. Or were just killed.
Also in 1667 the Dutch people's ship standard to Navy Vessels got upgraded so that everyone was able to have a fresh baker's baked bread and cooking place for provisions on board. Which could have been the reason to a certain spike off more piracy/treason on sea.
Actually...Frisia was the first to recognise amerika officially but hey, they werent a country. Marocco was the first country to do so. The Netherlands were the first to salute the american flag.

Did you already know New York used to be “New Amsterdam”? Yes/No 👇
I did and btw I will be going there soon 😊
So true! Funny to know that we created the next super power
as a dutchie I obviously did
Yes
Het had feitelijk de naam "nieuw Amsterdam" .
If you had had an accent like that in the Netherlands at the end of WWII, you'd be killed.
not just then, either..
Scheveningen!.... That's the test.....

@denvertruckernee Oegstgeest is onmogelijk voor buitenlanders probeer als Nederlander dat goed te zeggen is ook al lastig
@SnowtigerClashRoyale Ja Ik zei het omdat ze het in Soldaat van Oranje zeggen lol
bro as a dutch native thats not a dutch accent its more like german+french🤧
I heard some Indian to
Hahaha precies 😂
Facts
Im duch to this is what I was going to sey
Its so confusing 😂
As a Dutchie it's quite commical that the narrator used an German accent instead of something vagely resembeling Dutch.😅 German accents have a distinct 'z' sounds like 'piratz' that Dutch certainly doesn't have for example. But nice video regardless.😉
Precies dat dacht ik ook
Wat een chappies
Ik wilde al hetzelfde gaan opmerken, maar dat hoeft niet meer...
Ook al is het een Duits accent ik vind alle pogingen om te negeren dat Nederlands uit Germaans is ontstaan ook een beetje slecht hoor. En heel waarschijnlijk klonk het Nederlands 400 jaar geleden wat Duitster in het Engels.

At 2:42, you say they even took a ship home. This was not just any ship, it was the HMS Royal Charles. The pride of the English fleet. It was a big humiliation for the English.
I think its still marked as the worst navel defeat in their history.
They couldn't use it because it had too big a draught for the shallow Dutch home waters, so the anchored it before the coast and made it into a tourist attraction. It got visitors from all over Europe until the King of England protested the humiliation so much they gave in to help the lasting peace.
It was demolished but the Transom was spared and now hangs above a door in the Rijksmuseum, it's said to prevent a lot of Stendhal syndrome.
@DenUitvreterLeuk weetje, bedankt
If it aint dutch it aint much
en als ik het goed heb door de Mariniers. Ook een NL uitvinding, mede bedacht door de Ruyter
just to make it a bit more accurate, there were 2 companies, the VOC sailed to Asia and the WIC sailed to the Americas.
And more important... to Polen, Letland and Litouwen.... more profit than from the East.
not to forget: WIC went bankrupt because slave trade wasn't all that profitable
@AwoudeX Oh, thank you. Because our descendants are now demanding money from us because of the history of slavery. So, we should actually be demanding money from them. And they haven't even paid for the trip yet.
@Robterdammerby god, you're right. We want our deserved moneeey!
@Robterdammer When you're writing in English, it might be better to also use the English names for countries 😂😂 Poland, Latvia and Lithuania
One important correction has to be made , The Dutch traded New Amsterdam for Suriname and than the English named it New York.
We didn't exactly trade, Nieuw Amsterdam was taken and a couple of years later we got Suriname in return as war settlement.
@apveening so why it was left out in the video ? Because even if they named it NewYork , all the boroughs kept Dutch names , Brooklyn = Breukelen , Harlem = Haarlem etc........and so on....
@apveening during the Third Anglo-Dutch War, the Dutch retook the colony of New Netherland Renamed it New Orange. after the signing of the Treaty of Westminster the Dutch territories were relinquished to the English.The names New Netherland and New Orange reverted to the English versions of "New York" and "New York City, Suriname became an official Dutch possession in return
Suriname was more like a present after our king went onto the English throne
It wasnt traded. Thats a lie they tell in our schools. By that time the dutch empire was being outrun by countries like UK and Spain simply because they had a larger population. It wasnt a trade. It was "we take new amsterdam, you can get suriname or get nothing? Your choice".
2:16 another example of the advantage of "being nice" is that later on they were allowed to continue trading with Japan after they kicked out other European traders.
Did they even thank The Netherlands? I mean today? What is that shit you're wearing, America?
Nope, most Americans have no clue what or where The Netherlands is. Education at it's finest.
@knightstemplar7337 Europe is the country some believe.
@2295timon And that is really sad. A lot of people like me live in Europe but don't have any connection with the EU then only with their own country which is good.
Was going to comment the same 😂
Don't need to thank us. Just stop tariffs on us when we import more from you then we export. Trump really is a first class boefje
What!! Why do we have a German accent??
Yea thats not a dutch accent.. one of my biggest pet peeves is Americans calling Dutch people german... and they do it all the time.. since they don't understand the freaking diffrence between Deutsch and dutch
He probably didn't know, to be fair even as a Dutch person, doing a Dutch accent is hard asf.
@tehmoron2424you mean its hard for a dutch person not to do a sutch accent.
@Vusstar No... otherwise I'd have said that, idjit. I'm saying that even as a Dutch person I can't do the stereotypical Dutch accent.
@tehmoron2424 it really isnt... i can speak english fluently like americans, but i can also speak english with a heavy dutch accent.
It is called Nederlands, not dutch
1:20 why that german accent?😂
Yeah exactly .....its like a 80s movie terrorist accent
🤦🏿🤦🏿🤦🏿🤦🏿 they just dont kNow how to do a proper Dutch accent
Because they think we talk English like Germans.
Broer wat een klootzakken we klinken nich zo wir zijn keine Duitsers odar....😂
@themood1984 hilarious !
now we have stroopwaffles ! ...so there is that
But also dubbel zoute drop as revenge...
Don’t forget the “poffertjes!”
Stroopwafels 😊
And we can take kroket, bitterballen, and frikandellen out off a wall.
@AnneBras-y3g and we can take 🤦🏽♂️ you are Dutch right 😂 yes we can pullout food out of a wall but this you have also in Germany Belgium and every country that want money fast 😂 but it’s not coming from the duchess but from amerikaaa, it’s also a American fast food ? But all over the world they use the pullout system, we dutch people have it still because it’s very f fast
ehh you kinda forgot to talk about the trade New Amsterdam for Suriname and a island by Indonesia
Inderdaad hij probeert ons in slecht daglicht te zetten alsof we toendertijd zomaar een kolonie hadden opgegeven toen had Nederland nog echt vechtlust
@Davey1997NL They did take New Amsterdam by force.
Ja kijk , iemand die er ook iets van weet :)))
Ik heb het zelf ook verkeerd uitgelegd. Maar Nederland heeft in eerste instantie New Amsterdam geruild met de Guyana's. Dit is nu Guyana en Suriname. De Britten veroverde daarna een stuk van de Guyana's maar Suriname bleef over waardoor dit de naam kreeg: Nederlands-Guyana.
@emilianoEmiglio9827You seem to have a problem with the Dutch 😂😂😂Any point to this 'summary'?
this was by far the most fun history lesson I ever had, I would sure have nailed all my tests if this video was here back when I was still in school🤓 greetings from the Netherlands
Great video. Speaking English with a german accent instead of a dutch accent makes it extra funny.
Mehhh, it's lazy.
no it doesn't
I'm dutch and i laughed my ass off the way this video was made, well done!! (and thank you for a good laugh on this monday)
Mie toe😂
me toooo
Same here on a sunday
1:31 why the German accent?? 😂
French !
@hansd3295 its mixture german and french for some reason.. all they had to do was pronounce the GGGGG really hard.
to be fair, it should be a german accent. That was in 1600, not 2000s, our language was still far more similar to german at the time
@Remmeeee
Hmm okay then… 🤨 but I’m not liking it… 😅
makes it more real .. . .
Not mentioned :
In 1609 the dutch started trading with Japan alongside the Portugese. In 1639 the Portugese were trown out of Japan ( unlike the dutch, they wanted to enforce christianity) , so the VOC (dutch indies company) got the sole tradinbg rights with Japan forr over 200 y ( untill 1859.).
@emilianoEmiglio9827 ok
I'm a direct product of this history. I am fluent in a 'form of Dutch' even though I am not Dutch. There are quite a few historical inaccuracies here but hey this is RUclips and it's fun to watch.
That voice over isnd even close to dutch it sound german😮
A good clapback for: "Without us you be speaking German"
Well it seems without US(NL) you would not even become the America that you know today..
Most of the Netherlands was liberated by the Canadians.
Nous parlons mieux le français grâce aux Canadiens qui nous ont libérés.
Not only that, the Western Allies only fought 25% of the German forces from the start of Operation Barbarossa to the day Stalin took Berlin. 75% of the entire German war effort was for and on the Eastern Front. And STILL it took the so "powerful" Anglo-American coalition YEARS.....STALIN SAVED EUROPE FROM NAZISM.
Without us they would be speaking English
@evertjan9479 Nope Stalin first signed a deal with the Nazi's to divid Poland in 1939 (The Molotov-Ribbentroppact. deal. After they were betrayed by the Nazi's in 1941, they allied with the Americans got planes and tanks and other supplies from them that helped save them from the Nazi's. However do not ever say that they saved us from the Nazi's, when they started WW2 hand in hand with the Nazi's.
Wowowowow the america trade was done by the WIC (west indische compagnie)
Not initially. But true anyway.
@rmyikzelf5604 The VOC send Hudson over there to find the North Passage to Asia, not to start settlements there. That was before the WIC was founded.
As a dutch american person with a american mother and a dutch father the dutch were the first to salute the american flag they colonized new york from the portugese the dutch funded the american war of independence without the dutch no american as we know it also the decloration ,of independence took heavy inspiration from the dutch Pact van verlatingen we owe the invention of capatalism because of the dutch the dutch and americans can be very similar but also very different
can you please type in sentences and not 1 big ass line? thanks.
@tehmoron2424 Sorry.
As a Dutch, I apologize for bringing capitalism to you.
@maaikevissers6534
No. Capitalism back then was great.
What we have today is not capitalism. It parades as such but it isn't.
And as a pure dutch, since about a year we regret ever helping the US exist.
Thank u for making this video, nowadays most Americans still have the assumption France was their biggest supporter for the Independence, although they offcourse did help out (in their own interest because of the rivalery with the UK/England), but the Dutch reckognized in the American struggle for independence their own independence struggle 200 years before that against Spain, hence our big support financially and military (equipment), next to fact offcourse it was considered at that time as a good investment for our money. So for the Dutch it was a 2 sided blade, we helped a people in their independence and we could make some profit on the long term, next to the fact we could also deal some political blows to the UK/England (same as why France helped the USA).
Johannes de Graaff. That's the guy who made the America's a country. The French fought alongside the Americans, but there is no french president, there is however a dutch president (#8 Martin van Buuren if I remember correctly his name).
@JimmyWaserookbij actually like 4 or 5 of USA elected presidents are of direct Dutch descent.
@MrFinzzz Which ones?
@JimmyWaserookbij Hece the historical piracy as an American standard till this day!
@JimmyWaserookbij The Roosevelts were descendants from Dutch (Franklin Delanio and later Theodore) immigrants.
I believe Grant and John Adams had dutch immigrant roots aswell, but i am not 100% sure.
Van Buren was the only president whose native language was Dutch and not English.
Yeah... not all direct...., i was a bit too eager to reply, but 2nd or 3rd generation is pritty close enough ;) and a lot of USA former presidents were either from Dutch immigrants or with a Dutch connection to Leiden because of the Pilgrim Fathers who lived their before they left to the Americas, like Coolidge, Taylor, Quincy Adams and the Bush family (snr. and jnr.) were descendants of the Pilgrim Fathers.
And now we have one of the world's (if not THE) most important tech companies; ASML.
Specerijen waren schaars in Noord-Amerika en Nieuw Amsterdam was niet bepaald winstgevend. Nederland had de Engelsen destijds kunnen verdrijven, maar dat kostte meer dan het opleverde. Dus sloten ze een deal met de Engelsen, waarbij ze Nieuw Amsterdam afstonden in ruil voor Guyana en Suriname. Nederland richtte zich vervolgens op het Verre Oosten met de VOC, wat een enorme hoeveelheid inkomsten genereerde.
U vergeet dat er nog 2 eilandjes in de Antille er bij kwamen met die New-Amsterdam deal..
Waarom wilden de Engelsen het dan hebben?
@aheroyaheroyalproductions7631 port locatie.. denk ik..
@aheroyaheroyalproductions7631 Overal waar Nederland was vertegenwoordigt, moesten de Engelsen ook zijn. Want de Engelsen dachten; Waar Nederlanders zijn valt veel geld te verdienen. En dat viel behoorlijk tegen met de overname van Nieuw Amsterdam.
@bartobruintjes7056 Sterker nog. ze kregen er een soortement van revolutie te verduren met de strijd van amerikanen tegen het Verenigd Koninkrijk..
No kings, no forced religion. Just smart systems
False
We had kings, we were just much more open minded about religion and trade
@Au-ke because of the moderate protestantism
At the time, the Dutch Republic existed as a republic long before the "United States" and the "Declaration of Independence" were even ideas.
The Dutch did help finance the American Revolution after Yorktown and got the money back with interest (they subsequently also had further loans given to the US to build their nation after the British left, all of which were also paid back with interest some decades before the US Civil War). Then the French Revolution happened, Napoleon invaded and took over the Netherlands, the Dutch East Indies Company came to an end, then the republican experiment came to an end when Napoleon installed his own brother as the King of the Dutch. Today, "Gekoloniseerd" (meaning "[you are] colonized") is now a Dutch internet meme and unlike most European colonial powers of the day, most Dutch today in hindsight support the colonization effort their ancestors did (includes the rampant pillaging and ethnic genocides) and are cognizant it resulted in the wealthy, over-engineered, land-reclaimed nation they are known today... also aside the King apologizing for colonization back in the 2010s, today they are not very apologetic for what they did as a colonial power... plus they invented the stock market and the current system of capitalism most of us use and know of today. Gekoloniseerd!
@Au-ke Not at that time.
Dude what is that accent. Why do Americans just never seem to understand we don’t speak german! Is it that difficult!
Dude, when I try to speak with a German accent I sound Irish.
Guess we can't win all wars 😂
We staan er goed op jongens!
Alleen zijn we nog steeds de bank van Europa, maar zien er maar bijzonder weinig van terug terwijl wij ons overal blauw aan betalen inmiddels
Maar nu zijn we een volk dat z'n eigen land en souvereiniteit verkwanselt.
Vergane glorie, die VoC tijd.
Serieus? Dat is wat jij uit dit filmpje haalt? Dat we goed voor de dag komen zo? Bijzonder...
@PH14AD900 Doe toch normaal.
@MalikaCatalano-mb7sbSommige mensen vinden dat stoer, die "VoC mentaliteit" (Balkenende). Hitler, Musolini, Trump, Putin vinden zoiets ook gewééldig.
Het is dus zeer relatief
12:21 the declaration of independence was also written on dutch paper
bro, it was so interesting like dawg, i was watching with so much interest
this was a load of utter nonsense.either infom yourself,or why bother at all?
We definitely weren't nice to all colonies lol. Also a huge invention was the "fluitschip" a ship that was way faster than other war ships. And since the ship was so small, they could for example trade with Denmark who taxed ships based on the width of ships. We were also the only country Japan would trade with. Also a huge factor was that most countries tried to force religion on their colonies and the dutch didn't. But some we definitely also did some shady shit on the plantations, like cutting of hands if quotas werent achieved.
Not mentoned :
In 1667( after the 2nd Angl-dutch war) the dutch traded New Amsterdam with the british for a piece of South America ( rich spices, timber, minerals, aluminium, ) next to British Gyana, which is nowadays called Suriname. This is called the Manhatten Transfer ( in 1972 a US pop-group adapted that name)
"Fun fact: Peter Minuit was actually born in Wesel, Germany (around 1580-1585). His family was of Walloon-Protestant descent!"
as a person with a half dutch blood i can confidentialy say you got a subscriber
Can't wait to see more from you 💗
More to come!
@AnimatedHistoryy❤😍
that history right there.
very important and this is first time I hear it put out like this
Nice
It's good, but not perfect. It's missing names, places, and dates of importance. There is a lot more to know if you really want to understand the significance (and the humanity) of the dutch empire. We have no comparison in history. First hegemony in the world systems theory. Our track-record in human rights is so good (especially compared during that time and the immense power we held), that no other nation of comparable power (which aren't many actually, more akin to a roman empire for it's time, with the brits being the Assyrian empire) has such a low-footprint on dehumanizing practices (i.e. slavery, genocide, colonization, etc). But somehow, we are the worst in history (by those who drop things on their head to make themselves feel better... i.e. their communist hatred for everything good), because our 'companies' had people that dabbled in the slavetrade, and we built harbours that are considered colonies now, and we had 'land property' amongst some of our rich entrepeneurs that built farms that they mostly bought (if not uninhabited islands) from the natives. People are so angry at us, it's almost like we are christians. We get the same hate, for being so good. Kinda makes you wonder, if everyone else is just fucking evil, and we were just really close to god.
bit in the wrong sequence but mostly true
5:31 look new Amsterdam was traded for Suriname in a peacedeal at least that’s what the Dutch history books say
The pirates say they used to be nice...only morons \ould believe in that!
Where did we get suriname
We sound a bit too good in this video we also did a lot of… people trading back then because there was a demand so we came with a supply
Agreed, the s/l(a+v/e trade was unforgivable, what happened in south Africa is crazy.
Wild not mentioning it, but saying their success was due to being nice is even crazier... 😮!
Those were some brutal and heartless times...
12:41 so that's where Haywire wanted to go...
11:30 That accent sounds anything but Dutch!😂🤣
The thumbnail really just labled "New York" in Arkansas
Nah, the mark is behind Trump's head. The 'mark' in Arkansas is actually a gum ball he is spitting out.
As a fan of the Netherlands and the gouden Eeuw meaning golden age there clearly isn’t many videos on these so big appreciated for the video about the Netherlands
Gouden eeuw* close tho
Search for Defragged History. Or documentaries by Hans Goedkoop ("De Gouden Eeuw", "80 jaar oorlog") .
It actually means golden century and is a 100-yearish period from the 1570s to the 1670s. These days people want to make it about the VOC and pretend it was the 17th century, but it started much earlier and by the time the VOC started to return profits it was already well in it's second half.
@DenUitvreter
Vaar je mee, met de VOC ? 😂
@Neanderthal1 Nee, Danswijk (Gdansk) is mij ver genoeg.
Mosterd na de maaltijd gezien de vele reacties hieronder, toch doe ik even een duit in het zakje met betrekking tot de stemmen van 'de Nederlanders' 😂. Een heel leuk filmpje, maar o wat slecht dat de stemmen van de 'Hollanders' als half-duits-fransen klinkt !
9:00 Amerika!, mede mogelijk gemaakt door Nederland!
7:18 We still have the feeling being the bank of Europe. 🤣
Lowkey😂
Only now, we're not getting the money back.
I always thought New Amsterdam was formally traded for Surinam
it is... this was a simplification. The English didn't want a war but the Dutch knew the pressure was too high too stay anyway.
The guy made a great informative video. Instead of commenting about his accent, criticizing it, you can perhaps subscribe or appreciate that he is sharing some things most people probably never heard about the Dutch.
They did not just take 'one 'ship, they took the Britisch Admiral ship, towed it to the Netherlands where it was anchored at the port of Amsterdam. It was used as a brothel for sailors comming back home from oversees.
To be fair the Dutch were nice in some cases but in other cases they genocided a entire island to get a nutmeg monopoly
Banda signed a treaty they didn't uphold you reap what you sow
To be fair, there was nothing nice about it, in most colonies it was just expansion for profit, with no regard for native accept for divede and conquer purposes. The Dutch were only 2nd to the british in the slave trade, and one of the latest western powers to abolish it, and even then it was continued illegally. After that another system was invented to keep doing what they were doing, within another "legal" context to bring Africans to colonies, same as Dubia nowadays.
@xXWesterlingXx Is it really you, Raymond (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raymond_Westerling ) ? 😇
Lol they where not nice at all, they where demons all over the world.
@PeepshowHankyJupp but remember the normal civilians did not support slavery. Some people do everything for money.
Thanks for Making/sharing this video. Very informative.
En tegenwoordig springen wij nederlanders in de houding voor de Amerikaanse bankieren. Er ging dus toch iets goed mis!
spreek voor jezelf
Interesting take!
So the when america is saying freedom they have to thank the netherlands 😂😂😂
Ehm...shall we not let them tank the Netherlands....I'd prefer they thank the Netherlands 🤣
@maaikevissers6534 a i see fack i fatfingerd that 😂
I think a point a lot of people miss when it comes to the start of the dutch golden age, was the invention of the sawmill, this meant we were building ships at much lower labor cost then other nations.
As a Dutch person, I get incredibly irritated by Americans who pretend the Dutch speak English with a German accent. Nine out of ten Dutch people speak better English than the average American.
As a Dutch person, I'm with you on the first part of your comment. The second part however, nine out of ten Dutch people speaking better English than the average American? Nah, that's what we all like to think. But no.
Historically, English speakers used "Deutsch" broadly for Germanic speakers; over time, it morphed into "Dutch" for Low Germanic speakers (Netherlands) and "German" for High Germanic speakers (Germany).
No, you'd be surprised how many Dutchies can't talk English properly. I can't get rid of my accent when i talk English. Although i can read and understand highly technical manuals.
Ad that's why you get irritated, you're full of sh!t
As a Dutch person, I take these things with a grain of salt. It's funny, not worth getting angry about 😂
1:16 these are two German sailors in Dutch service
Dude, there’s one big misconception that can be found in all these kinds of videos. The Dutch trade empire didn’t start with either the V.O.C. or the W.I.C. The Dutch were around the 1300s confronted with subsidence of such significance that tilling wheat, barley and other grains became almost impossible. Therefore they looked at the Hanseatic League, which was rather easy, because several eastern cities in the Netherlands were part of this league. The very first trade initiatives were very much focused on the East Sea, where Dutch traders found the grains and also plenty of timber with which they built their ships. Consequently they became a fierce competitor of the Hanseatic League, from the lucrative trade to East Sea, the first initiatives sprang up to expand the trade to other sides of the world.
It's called the Baltic Sea in English. The VOC was founded by the Dutch government to fight and rob the Spanish and Portuguese enemy in Asia, which was economically viable because thanks to the Ottoman blockade of the Silk Road and the blockade for Dutch ships of Lisbon, spices had gotten extremely expensive.
The Hanseatic league was already in decline and the Dutch basically took over the majority of it's trade thanks to working cheaper. The invention of the saw mill allowing for 30 times faster ship building, the efficient Fluyt ship and the Amsterdamse wisselbank with low interests and reliable transactions.
@DenUitvreter So nothing to do with brutal piracy?? Why cal the Portuguese Empire an enemy? Dutch grew because they were pirates and those were, even as competitors, very useful to the British Empire.
@DenUitvreter Baltic trade simply started way before the VOC was ever founded. Reading is an art in itself!
@vincenthuying98It indeed appears to be a skill. The Dutch dominance of the Baltic and North Sea trade only started 10 years earlier than the VOC was founded. Before that the Dutch were only one of several big players.
@buteos8632 Because Portugal joined the Iberian Union and therefore became part of the Spanish Empire, the enemy that wanted to destroy the Dutch Republic and cleanse it of all protestants. There was no British Empire yet, just an island stuck in the Dark Ages with it's merchants having to look outside Europe as they couldn't compete with the Dutch and had to go somewhere where their guns mattered.
And the dutch call this part : de gouden eeuw
Hey Americans: Say thank you to the dutch for your beautiful City^^
How about for inventing the 'american dream'.
It's te biggest shithole in America after California!
New York is not in Oklahoma as shown in the crappy ai thumbnail
WE STAAN ER WEER GOED OP JONGENS
En toch hebben ze een veel hechter band met hun oude vijand de Engelsen dan degene ,Nederlanders en de Fransen, die hun onafhankelijkheid en vrijheid bracht. Het voelt voor mij als stank voor dank!🤔
3:29 tho, we still had very unfavorable trades they thought were favorable for them, and we kinda just ... joinked a few people and basically forces them to work for us, but I guess we were one of the most friendly.
The Dutch being nice part, is also why in lots of these old colony countries, they still speak bits of Dutch and most people still respect the Dutch tremendously. I've been to Indonesia, as my grandmother fled from Indonesia during the Japanese war, to the Netherlands. They were all happy to see Dutch people, just like on Aruba, Bonaire and Curacao. Still, the Dutch also did bad things to colonists, they weren't always that nice.
Can agree. My bloodline also involves people who are from Indonesia and not all colonists and natives weren't so eager of the other. So badly it resulted in deadly conflicts and executing of innocent people on either side.
@davidvandersterre Don't ruin the fantasy!
@buteos8632 shoot. . . . pitty thoo, we have to admit. all m yarab nabers recal the terrible things i did during kolonial times when a subject as slavetraid come to order,, , , they think they invented science
Een ding klopt niet helemaal. De Oost-Indische Companie was niet aleen een Nederlandse compagnie maar van De Zeven Verenigde NEDERLANDEN waartoe ook het toenmalige BELGIË behoorde.
Remember "Wall street" in New York?
In Amsterdam we got "De Wallen" (The Walls).
That's where it got it's origins from.
In Groningen we have Muurstraat (wall street) It was a booming place, now it's a dead street who lost his spirit 😂😂😂😂
Waren er ook al dames van lichte zeden toen in Wallstreet ?
De Wallen is now the red light district hahaha
Of the two theories about how Wall Street was named, that's not one of them. It's either because of a wall that was built to protect against the French, British, and native Americans. The street parallel to it was the street next to the wall, aka Wall Street. The other theory is that it refers to Wallonia. Walen, in Dutch, refers to people from Wallonia.
@Neanderthal1well what we have seen from that movie, Wall Street is pretty much a red light district themselves.
Nice vid thnks.
The big massage is : BE NICE and FRIENDLY Donald
Why would he?, he is dealing with woke democrats.
Could have been a decent video, if more time was spend into research and sloppy errors were ironed out. One example: the WIC who had the monopoly on Dutch trade between The Netherlands and North/central/South America, is not mentioned.
Making a video on the Dutch and then using a German accent to narrate them is the most savage thing to do and I'm all here for it
This is golden information. I wish i new 40 years ago . This is the highest level of business ❤ my country
why is is an austrian or german accent and not a dutch one
Most none dutch people can't speak dutch English accent :)
Why the hell is New York in like Arkansas in the thumbnail
By everything what American do, they can think about the Dutch they helping Shaping America till now this day
Ithink he meant Peter Stuyvesant ran the colony.
Complete skip on "de kleine vaart" eg the Dutch complete trade dominance of the Baltic and North Sea. While the spice trade was more fancy the Baltic trade made more money as was higher volume.
Much more frequent also. I thought the 'kleine vaart' was the rivers and the lakes and the Baltic Sea trade was the "moedernegotie". Basically the Dutch merchants did 3/4 of the former "Hanseatic League" trade and expanded it. The Duch had more merchant ships than the rest of Europe combined.
@DenUitvreter You are right, that's called the 'moedernegotie'. Meaning mother of all trade, since most Dutch wealth was based on that. And not on spice trade, which of course is more spectaculair, trading all around the world. Other people who want to focus on the negative sides of history suggest that slavery brought us all the wealth, and that's why Amsterdam looks the way it is. Nope, just mostly trade in weath and timber in the Baltic Sea.
@martijnj3919 The whole Dutch Golden Age was already well in it's 2nd half when the Dutch gave up on their objection to the Atlantic slave trade in 1637 and when the VOC finally started returning profits in 1633.
2:11 sounded like king julien
Holy Crap! What AS (Artificial Stupid) was thinking that this sounds like a Dutch accent?
Ai, artificial idiots
Little known fact: some early printed copies (Dunlap broadsides) of the Declaration of Independence, made for immediate distribution in 1776, were printed on paper with a Dutch watermark, likely from Zaandam, a town renowned for the paper mills.
That Dutch accent is more German then Dutch…
than (then is a time thing, than is comparative)
@LeiaSkywalker-Resistance i still would make the same mistake 😭😭
😂yeah or france😂
Tips for dutch accent dutch people when talking english they make the h silent like the pronounced as te and the d is more like a t
There we are with the German accent for Dutchies again. Not watching this.
absolute banger bro, can't believe you've got 5k subs you deserve more ❤❤
So glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for the kind words!
The Dutch where nice🤣🤣 look into indonesia
...and the African slave trade.
yes i knew and i love this animation.
thank you very much💯❤
crazy video and nice animated first time forr me and crazy expirience love how the story tells a lot in a funny way!!
-bigg props to you
-though there could be some things that you can change although it is trough what you are saying you missed some importand parts like the dutch where tho big slave traders and abusing them to work on colonies like in suriname and the wic
although the missing information it is stiill on of the best history videos i have ever seen keep up and big props to you!!!!!
- a Dutch guy
Ik ben blij dat je het leuk vond en bedankt voor je feedback😊
@AnimatedHistoryy o dammmmmmm ben je ook nederlands? lol
@EHV_avation nee dat is ie absoluut niet lol
Toen hij Nederlands probeerde na te doen gebruikte hij een Duits accent xD
Actually, the Dutch weren't big slave traders and the slave trade was a tiny part of the Dutch trade. It was a big moral issue but that is a different matter.
@DenUitvreter o lol
Maar ik vind het wel lekker klinken. Vin i dad ok ni. A jawè tog. :)
The Dutch was the richest of its time, also with the most powerful navy of their time.
It's power was limited by the shallow home waters, that's why the English could sometimes challenge it. Bigger heavier gunships with more guns was advantageous but gave a too deep draught for the Dutch waters. So they had to compensate with advanced tactics and coordination with lighter ships.
@DenUitvreterno they had the best equiped naval ships so the highest quality and the highest quantity.
Very nice video!
Just curious though, why are you doing first a German, then a sort of Jamaican accent and then back to a German accent for Dutch people? 🤦♀️
0:59 That ship which is carrying Russian flags is hilarious.
was Peter te great not in amsterdam around this time?
@mitch8072 A bit later I believe, 1695 or something. Working incognito at a ship yard in Alkmaar.
@DenUitvreter Probably, good mention about Peter the Great. He did take the Dutch flag colours for the (what is now still) Russian flag.
Dude why did you imploy Arnold to do the Dutch Accent, he from Austria.
Great using a German accent for a Dutch...makes you wonder how credible everything else is
French
Just realize, holland had the trade stock more
Than 600 yrs ago . To make prices to products that the dutch marine in those Times Brought in and to Make price for what the pirates Did On the sea to justify it in stocks of Worth on how many is spended on it ,
How many dutch pirates for example died , or how many they should have to kill to take some silver or gold or very rare
Ingredients and spices
The VOC used their power to monopolize trade from designated areas. Natives that did not agree or adapt were killed. So... we Dutch weren't really being "friendly". In Indonesia inhabitants of some of the islands were annihilated because they did not comply with the VOC rules of trade. And let's not even mention slavery 😒.
Most of the slavery was some time before the VOC when about 1 million Europeans were raided from the western coasts and were forced to work for the islamists. Or were just killed.
Also in 1667 the Dutch people's ship standard to Navy Vessels got upgraded so that everyone was able to have a fresh baker's baked bread and cooking place for provisions on board.
Which could have been the reason to a certain spike off more piracy/treason on sea.
10:20 That is not true. The first foreign country to recognize America as a real nation is Morocco!
Actually...Frisia was the first to recognise amerika officially but hey, they werent a country.
Marocco was the first country to do so.
The Netherlands were the first to salute the american flag.
No defacto it was the Netherlands
Marrokos regnognition was later
Not true
Thanks for the beautiful historical vedio.
Nice video !!!! Enjoyed that ! But making a Dutch speak with a German accent is an insult to us....
