SAM ja omdat we vooral willen weten is diegene 1 van de honderden mensen die alles over ons fout heeft of hoort hij/zij bij de 1% die alles goed heeft
zo waar gwn
betrapt
Randy Van Den Heuvel true
SAM waarheid
- Dutch DJ’s / Music export
- Elfstedentocht (our king participated as well)
- koningsdag or Kingsday (kings birthday with many festivities)
- founders of New York (which was originally New Amsterdam)
- Dutch astronauts/ space program with ESA
- Dutch inventions such as the telescope and microscope just to name a few
List goes on and on
Don't forget Flevoland, which we reclaimed from water
You forgot carnaval
Don't forget the dredging business.
Duskconqueror well I work with dredging companies, so you tend to forget about those things 😂
"koningsdag" and "koninginendag" WHERE the king's/queen's birthday, but i believe it's the king's mother's birthday now,
it's just confusing.
Did you know that the netherlands still gives 20.000 tulips to canada every year to thank them for help in ww2 ( i am from the netherlands btw) please like so he will see it
In 1945, the Dutch royal family sent 100,000 tulip bulbs to Ottawa in gratitude for Canadians having sheltered the future Queen Juliana and her family for the preceding three years during the Nazi occupation of the Netherlands in the Second World War. The most noteworthy event during their time in Canada was the birth in 1943 of Princess Margriet at the Ottawa Civic Hospital. The maternity ward was temporarily declared to be extraterritorial by the Canadian government, thereby allowing Princess Margriet's citizenship to be solely influenced by her mother's Dutch citizenship.[4][5] In 1946, Juliana sent another 20,500 bulbs requesting that a display be created for the hospital, and promised to send 10,000 more bulbs each year.
(for if he sees it x) )
We allso give flowers to the Pope at easter.... but I prolly that is just marketing.
In amsterdam most of the drunk and stones people are tourists.
omdat ze dat doen..
Tulips are not Turkish. They're a flower that grows pretty much all over europe, and even back in the day it grew in europe and asia both. You can't claim a flower you knob.
You should do Dutch inventions. Like CD's, WiFi, Bluetooth, microscope, four-
wheel drive, firehose, submarines, stock market, concept of a national anthem, tri colour national flag, and whole lot more.
Blijkbaar zijn wij de enige twee die zich dit afvraagt :P
Ik zit in de ICT, ik hoor 24/7 over Nederland en nieuwe tech. Leuke video, maar heel basic/luchtig.
Ook geen word over drugsgebruik of export, alleen die teringtulpen.
Bluetooth is zweeds
Boaz Van Manen bluetooth is uitgevonden door de Nederlandse elektrische ingenieur Dr. Jaap Haartsen. Dit deed hij toen hij bij Ericsson werkte, maar hij is Nederlands. Deze info kan je terugvinden op de website van Ericsson (en andere bronnen).
and the Python programming language
Fun fact : in WW2 one of our queens (from the netherlands) was born in a canada but because she was a prinses canada made the hospital a dutch place fore a few days so she could become queen this is why the netherlands has a good relation ship with canada :)
actually it was Princess Margriet who was born in "Canada" (technically she was still born in The Netherlands), and she never was queen
Even though we Canadians all learn that, it is a bit of a misnomer. The maternity ward in the hospital was temporarily declared as extraterritorial by the Canadian government, essentially making it an international territory, and not exclusively a part of the Netherlands. This was done so that her nationality was solely Dutch. This was because Canadian law, like most of North America follows 'jus soli', "Right of the soil"...whereas Dutch law follows 'jus sanguinis', "Right of blood". Thus, her heritage would be only Dutch, and not partially Canadian.
Stil nice to now i like canadians the think before the do netherlands and canada are similar like that
Wtf😂😂
eh?
New York previously was called 'New Amsterdam'
Famous Dutch painters: van Gogh, Appel, Mondriaan, Escher, Rembrandt, Vermeer
The entire province 'Flevoland' is made from land reclaimed from the sea
André Rieu was the world’s most successful male touring artist (2009)
The Dutch are the tallest people in the world
The Netherlands was the first country to allow gay marriage
The biggest ice-skating tour in the world: Eleven Cities Tour
The Wilhelmus is the oldest national anthem in the world
The Netherlands has the highest English-proficiency in the world
The Netherlands is the world’s second biggest beer exporter (for example Heineken)
CDs, DVDs and Blu-Ray were invented in the Netherlands
The first multinational company, stocks and stock exchange were Dutch (Dutch East India Company)
And agian some one who forgot CARNAVAL🎉
Not only the Dutch celebrate carnaval.
Carnaval isn't just Dutch, it's celebrated all over the world. Besides, only part of the Netherlands celebrates carnaval, the other half doesn't give a damn about it.
yan van asseldonk you forgot Jeroen Bosch (jeronimus Bosch)
yan van asseldonk Carnaval celibrations in Rio de Janeiro and New Orleans are much bigger and better known.
Besides, its a Roman Catholic celibration, while most of the Netherlands religious background is Protestant (Calvijn).
I've wanted to visit north central Europe ever since I was a child. The Netherlands holds a special place in my heart because of its relationship to the sea. I greatly admire Dutch culture and the quality of life also. When I am able to take an extendend trip to Europe , this country will be first on my list. I'm from Halifax, Nova Scotia. The Tall Ships Festival has been here in Halifax a few times and I always go see the ships and sailors! I remember seeing the Frisian flag flying on a Dutch ship.
Hope you can visit us some day but don't come in the winter cause it's always rainy and cold as frick
Carlijn van Lierop klopt, in de zomer minder. Maar eigenlijk regent het hier gwn fucking altijd
@@lvgames3508 dat is nederland helaas door weer en wind hè :)
I have a tip dont talk to the people in friesland because they have an accent they call an language. i'm from groningen so i hate the friese people
@@carlijnvanlierop9818 Halifax's climate is similar to but a little more extreme than the Netherlands. I will take your advice and visit during the spring early summer. I want to see the Netherlands in all its glory! I want to experience each province over multiple visits and over many years.
For part 3:
1. The Netherlands was the first country ever to recognize the birth of the USA in 1776.
2. The Declaration of Independence was crafted after the Plakkaet van Verlaetinghe, the document that declared the Netherlands independent from Spain in 1581.
3. The words "cookie", "stool" "Yankees", "coleslaw", "sea bass" and "Dollar" have Dutch origins.
4. New York was founded by the Dutch. Actually bought from Indians for 60 Guilders 1626. Canal street, Bleecker street and Wall street have Dutch origins.
legal weed
1. That was Morocco ;)
invention of the CD, by Bose I though?

Sooo cool!!
The Netherlands were also the only country EVER to occupy New York later on when the English did not keep their word. That lasted a bit longer than a year
-Education system (schools, free public transport, the levels)
-Healthcare healthinsurance system (obligated, cheap, organized)
-Music activities (Dj's, producers, but also arists such as Metropole orchestra etc.)
-Softdrugs (tolleration system, kind of illegal but not really)
-Dutch culture (complaining, critique, no wasting of time)
-Retirement system (automatically done by government)
-Cultural diversity (lot's of cultures/no racism, populism controversy growing)
-Sinterklaas (Santa Claus was based on the Dutch Sinterklaas, controversy around black piets)
-Tax evasion
I live in the netherlands, Rotterdam and you totally forgot about the fact that Dutch people are the tallest in the world and that Rotterdam has (by far) the biggest port of Europe. It even was the biggest port of the world for many years and still is by far the biggest of the whole western world!!
thijmen de Ruiter Dit is hun 2e video over NL.
thijmen de Ruiter onze lengte was vorige keer
FEYENOORD!!!!!!!
thijmen de Ruiter ik woon naast Rotterdam ik haat het als mensen alleen over Amsterdam praten terwijl Rotterdam ook heel veel dingen heeft die bijzonder zijn en die Amsterdam niet heeft
thijmen de Ruiter al een decenia zijn we niet de grootste meer
the Netherlands where the first in the world to legalise gay marrige
Hahaha
Banana Man wtf 😂
damn I didnt know that and i think its great since I dont think there is any problem with gay mairriga
Lekker man
Still dissapointing
How about noticing the Rotterdam harbour. One of the largest in Europe and besides that, this is where we all import and export our goods!
*Error* The largest in Europe and one of the largest in the world
Fun fact in the netherlands they dont sell coffee in a coffeeshop
I never look in coffee shops, I don't like coffee xD
In many they actually also sell coffee
My favourite place to visit with foreign friends.
Always take them to a actual coffeeshop where they only sell coffee.
Holyelmo yo dude, you ever bin in a coffee shop
they do sell coffee in coffee shops but the best selling thing in the coffeeshops are weed and hasj
Holland is the 2nd largest exporter of agricultural produce in the world, in absolute amounts. Dutch agriculture is super hightech with an entire university (Wageningen) dedicated to that field of research. Holland feeds the world.
Holland has the largest port in Europe. Before the year 2000 the port of Rotterdam was the largest in the world.
Holland is a major exporter of water defense techniques, with heavily specialized companies designing and building vast defense systems all around the world, such as in the southern United States after hurricane Catrina flooded large areas. We're talking about a multi billion dollar industry here.
Past inventions: telescope, microscope, Bluetooth, wifi, super conductivity, CD (together with the Japanese), traffic speed camera, red light camera, the single best road and cycling network in the world, the stock market and arguably modern capitalism as a whole.
Holland was the early adopter of ideas such as freedom of religion and the ability to climb the social ladder regardless of the status of your parents or family. This led to the old saying in Dutch "arbeid adelt" which roughly translates into "nobility through labor". Centuries ago, in the time of the old European kingdoms, the small free fought Dutch republic was a first step towards modern western society. And the result was an immense pluralistic society that also got exported to other areas with New Amsterdam as a good example. This now leads some American historians to believe that the American melting pot actually originated in The Netherlands. Also the American declaration of independence has a striking resemblence with the Dutch act of abjuration which was written 200 years earlier. Perhaps it's also no surprise that a Dutchman became one of the first American presidents. So yeah the British took over and renamed it New York but the Dutch never left and certainly left a footprint in the new world that can still be seen today.
Mola Diver jezus wat een werk😂👌
It is not holland🤬😅🤬
Why doesn't anyone talk about the Dutch being the reason carrots are orange?!
Elbrich ja toch!
We have created the orange carrots (the netherlands )
Dat is waar
One word:
Potatoes
Wait, is that true?! O.O Don't mind me I don't speak Dutch/Nederland's, whatever its called.
Love this part 2!! goede feiten en extra informatie :D
Did you know? Amsterdam Schiphol Airport is the third biggest airport in Europe. After Paris and London Heathrow
1. London Heathrow
2. Paris Charles de Gaulle
3. Amsterdam Schiphol Airport
4. Frankfurt Airport
5. Istanbul Atatürk Airport
They think that Amsterdam Schiphol Airport wil be in April 2018 the second biggest Airport of Europe.
Sammy Van Paridon and What about the shipyard in Rotterdam
also a important thing in The Netherlands
Boosted Used to be the biggest in the world until somewhere between 2000 and 2010...
We kunnen Heathrow door strepen😂
you forgot the one of Frankfurt
Don't forget about the 11 cities tour ( a almost 200km ice skeeting trip through friesland, last time was 1997 because of bad winters. Every year when it starts to freeze we are watching ice masters measuring the ice and competing other villages and cities to see who can skate first that year. And the HELL of 1963.)
The netherlands is also a expert in making land out of water (dutch: inpoldering)
They made Flevoland
I think that this is one of the most significant facts that hasn't been mentioned already, but certainly (quite literally) characterizes Dutch ingenuity! Because, as Podgy Cat already mentioned, our twelfth province "Flevoland" exists because it (entirely!) has been "handcrafted" (created) by Dutch engineers. The Netherlands is also renown for being the first country that legalized gay marriage, tolerate selling weed & hasj to it's inhabitants, having our "Red Light District". Also the right to have an abortion and the first country that had a law to allow euthanasia
God created the world, the Dutch created the Netherlands.
@Podgy Cat. They made a lot more than just Flevoland
ua-cam.com/video/Q-gHx7dxLqQ/v-deo.html
I’m a simple Dutchmen, i see Netherlands in the title, I click
The Dutch also invented Bluetooth...
D
And wifi
And the CD !
Aad Nitraat Zweden heeft het inderdaad ontwikkeld maar een Nederlander die in dat bedrijf werkte heeft ervoor gezorgd dat het volledig werkte
And Heineken.
❤ Netherlands
As a native from Friesland , this did me well hearing it being pronounced correctly for once outside of the Netherlands.
Well jou still have some options
• No Country Does Water Management Better than the Netherlands
• ASML has 80% market share of the photolithography systems for the semiconductor industry.
• NXP 14% maintained with its position as the leading vendor of semiconductors, next in line with 11% is Infineon.
• Dutch superyacht cluster consolidated leading role with 30% of world market (€ 55 billion in 2016)
• The Dutch DJ’s dominates in dance world
• Netherlands is Largest Bike Exporter of Europe
• Dutch Cheese count for 12.4% world market share, second after Germany with 13.8%
• Dutch (Heineken, Bavaria and Amstel) beer counts for 14.4% world market share, second after Mexico with 21.2%
• Royal Flora Holland is the World's Biggest Flower auction Market
• Netherland has World's Biggest Flower export
• 10 billion Dutch flower bulbs a year
The Netherlands had an age that was called the Golden century or the Golden age this is something important aswel because the Netherlands were one of the biggest or maybe even the biggest and richest in those times
The Netherlands also found New York (new amsterdam) and you can still see that places in New York are still called the dutch names like Harlem.
Please tell us more how the Dutch became rich.

It's not like King Willem-Alexander flies on a daily basis for KLM, just every now and then when he has the time so he can maintain his skills and get the required amount of flying hours to remain his flying license, and of course all in consultation with KLM.
It's not like he can pop-up at Schiphol airport and demand a jet to have a lil' fun with or fly to Key West for the weekend.
His daytime job is King, and that is a harder job than most people think.
At night he's a cape wearing crime fighter I've been told, but I'm not too sure of that tbh....
PS: And again; Nice vid, but all the images in it are those of Holland, none of the rest of the country.
Love this video! You make me so proud of the Netherlands! We are so small and also so big!
nice video dude!! also please talk about the history and some other nice cities
fact for part 3: the capital of the Netherlands is Amsterdam. While the government is seated in The Hague (both the parliament and the king). The definition of capital is: "the city or town that is the official seat of government in a country, state, etc." why? I don't even know and I'm Dutch.
Niels van Oosten
Because the seat of power. Was in Amsterdam for a small amount of time(I believe when Napolian ruled) then the goverment moved to The Hague but the status stayed with Amsterdam.
It's a Dutch thing.
Omdat het zo in de Grondwet staat.
The Netherlands was the first country to legalise gay marriage. And don't forget to talk about flevoland!
The Netherlands were also the first to legalize euthanasia, we also rank first in best European Health Consumer Index (could not find world equivalent) and were the first in Europe to adapt Net Neutrality in law (Chili first worldwide), Also the first country in the world to have nationwide Internet of Things LPWA network coverage with LoRA technology (wireless, unlicensed spectrum) and we rank number 1 in The Good Country Index. ... OK that;s enough boasting for now ;-D
"legalize euthanesia" dude, what does it matter that you have ignored the law when you're dead anyway?
It matters when the loved ones you leave behind, and may have been the ones to actually pull the plug might get incaserated
Determined Games tf are you trolling in every comment? Mommy doesnt give you enough attention or something?
You finally mentioned Zeeland🎉 was already waiting for it :)
Can't wait for part 3!
The Netherlands has one of the best scholing systems, also were we one of the first to legitimize gay marriage/rights, and you can thank us for the Street Lantern, the Fure Extinguisher, the microscope, Bluetooth and WiFi.
beautiful country
This one was mutch better. Good job
It is great to hear someone speak so fondly and proudly of The Netherlands as a Dutchie myself. If you ever do a part 3 I would love to see you mention that we actually made an entire province ourselves. The province of Flevoland never existed, we literally took back part of the water estate and made a gigantic island province in the middle of the country.
Hoi Nederlanders, vinden jullie het ook zo grappig hoe hij sommige dingen zegt🤣
Can we get in the next vid that Flevoland used to be water and now is liveable land? :D
Keep going! I love your video's about my country. Ans your getting better at pronouncing our words! Keep going and practising❤
Nice videos about my country. Keep it up.
dutch music: dj's, a lot festivals (mysteryland, flyingdutch) dutch food: kroket frikandell (frying snacks you can by from a vending machine in a wall "FEBO"), haring (fish) the dutch cheese. stroopwafel (cookies) drop (candy) pepernoten ( cookies with 'Sinterklaas" National holiday dutch tv export suchs as the voice ( of holland) Spoorloos (Find My Family) BIG BROTHER etc. dutch habit to complain about the weather and the public transportation ( train company NS) things that I missed.
Bitterballen (with mustard!) on a vrijmibo (friday afternoon drink at the office) should definately be included about Dutch life! :D
Slecht Paard Never heard of a vrijmibo before
Lars Kuipers dont forget about Defqon.1 sinds it is the biggest hard dance festival in the entire world and held in the netherlands :-)
Mysteryland is the first festival of its kind (all different kinds of EDM)
Fun fact about the Dutch
We're so proud of our country we'll click any video that has ''Netherlands'' in the title
Most of the time when you see pictures of The Netherlands it looks like we're still living in 1600, but we're actually a pretty modern country.
Good job! Extra fun facts:
1-second biggest food exporter in the world
2-Happiest children in the world
3-Inventor of the lens, microscope, music cassette and cd, first company and company logo (Voc)
4-First stock market
5-oldest flag in the world
6-Inventor of the submarine (1620) and the electric car and 4x4 car
7 Last but not least. Inventor of Bluetooth and WiFi
if you do a part 3 you HAVE to add Sinterklaas
bianca lopes ja maar zonder te zeggen dat het racistisch is want echt niemand begrijpt het feest behalve echte nederlanders de mensen die het racistisch vinden of wat dan ook moeten stoppen met zeuren en uit het land gaan en niet een hele oude traditie afpakken en aanpassen
helemaal gelijk :D
en giethoorn
ik snap nog steeds niet wat er racistisch is aan sinterklaas de mensen die er over zeuren maken het gewoon racistisch
I don't think Willem-Alexander really "worked" for KLM as a pilot. I don't think he flew commercial or cargo planes for them. I think he just flew himself and maybe (parts of) his family, which he still does by the way, even while he is the reigning king. He's actually quite cool, he also did the Elfstedentocht which is ROUGH. (look it up, it's a very special event which hasn't taken place in years due to the thinness of the ice)
I'm sorry, but he did commercial flights. I was on one of those flights.
GREAT VIDEO!!! I live in the Netherlands in Middelburg the capital city of Zeeland. I saw some pictures of my hometown in the video, very much liked to see that!
Keep up the great work and if you ask me please make a part 3 about the history like the VOC.
Thank you again a nice video it’s
Greetings from Holland 🇳🇱🌹🌹🌹🌹🇳🇱❤️love you 👍
It deserves a 3rd video, because this more looks like a recap of previous video with corrections, then a lot of new info is given. Actually not that much even, but yeah 10 minutes is very short to do so. The Netherlands has just so much to offer.
Our king did his military service. He was in the navy. And he has a rank in the infantry, military police and the air force, hence his duty to keep flying from time to time in order to keep his FH and not lose his pilot’s license.
Good job!
ty for listening/reading in the last video and pronouncing the name of my province correct :) ty so much stay awesome bro
How can you guys not include Kingsday 😲 I liked i want a third video :)
we are the founders of new york (origenally new amsterdam) hints harlem (haarlem) and brooklyn (breukelen)
"from Coevorden", which is the origin of the name that eventually became "Vancouver".
And Albany, which was originally part of New Netherlands as Beverwijck
Glad you’re so positive about our country:)
One more positive about The Netherlands wanna add, I came almost 19 years ago in Netherlands as a refugee and since then never felt that I am treated as none dutch and now I feel it’s my country and I love the people and the culture proud to call my self dutch 👍
Next time maybe Dutch foods!
-Frikandel
-Kroket --> Bitterbal
-Oliebol --> Donut
-Apple pie
-Stroopwafel
-Raw Herring
-Black Liquorish
-Kibbeling
-Pancakes --> Poffertjes
-Stamppot
-Snert (Erwtensoep)
-Speculaas
-Hagelslag
-Filet Americain
-Kapsalon
-Ossenworst
-All of the Dutch cheeses! (Gouda, Beemster, Edam etc..)
My name is Joey there are one or two thing on this list which are a disgrace.
From a culinary standpoint the dutch stamppot dishes are rather bland, in taste as well as presentation.
Snert is another thing, which looks rather bad.
But snert has one specific redeeming quality, it tastes quite good, even though i'm not a fan of it.
Now as for those others on the list, most are snacks though.
@@ArjanKuiper Snert becomes cultural heritage.
That's true @@Ruudos
Pls next timd include dutch agriculture, even though the netherlands is so small, only the usa produces more crops then the netherlands, also the netherlands have the most innovative agriculture in the world. Farmers jn holland are critisized a lot these days... time for more respect!
Oh and also, in part 1 you talked about The Hague, in dutch: den Haag. This is also not the real name, the city is called S'gravenhage but it is not easy to prenounce so thats why.
Some activities to talk about: carnaval, gay pride, wad lopen (or the wadden islands), and the province flevoland is completly made by men.
Exactly. Just like 's-Hertogenbosch is called Den Bosch for convenience. However English speaking natives (tourists/immigrants) call it Den Bosch as well, so how Den Hague turned into The Hague I don't know. Maybe because it is where our government is seated? But that's strictly a guess.
You ever tried to make a non dutch pronounce that Gghhhhgghhhh at the end of Den Haag?
That explains why Haag turned into Hague, but not why Den turned into The, when those same non-dutch can use it for Den Bosch
3:25 he served in our military as well
Love to FTD Facts ur voice is sooo Amazing and its soo funny to hear about my Country :D
You should mention Flevoland
You forgot to mention when talking about trade (Oke imports and exports) that our stock market (The AEX) is the oldest in the world. (Check that on wikipedia or something to be sure). Our country is build on trade, mainly agricultural, so yeah I thought that was an important thing to talk about.
Amazing to see these videos. I’m from the Netherlands and it is very funny to watch these videos!
Some funfacts:
-the Netherlands actually has 3 oldest cities depending how you look at the definition. Those cities are Maastricht, Voorburg, and Nijmegen (however it's been lately questioned if Heerlen should be on that list too)
-The Netherlands has the world's oldest annually pop music festival namely Pinkpop. This festival greeted acts like The Foo Fighers, the Rolling Stones, Rammstein, Robbie Williams and Justin Bieber (what a mistake) on their main stage. The name doesn't come from the colour pink (however that is their theme), nor the singer P!nk (however she has performed there) but from the holiday Pentecost (pinksteren in Dutch)
-The Netherlands was the first country in the world to accept gay marriage
-The Netherlands is the second most free land in the world (together with Canada) due it's free speech and media.
did you know that the colors red white and blue have a meaning Red = for the people. White = for the church. Blue = for nobility. the colors of the flag that it is now used to be different, when it was orange white and blue, but at that time the queen did not like those colors so she made them red. hence that orange streamer.
but many people don't have any religion nowadays.
Things like that are helpfull to know.
It is also the worlds oldest known tricolor flag.
Erm, die term is later gebruikt door mensen met de term "Oranje, Blanje, Blue".
J gamezz XXL NL That’s not true at all. The orange banded flag was the monarchists flag. Which was changed from orange-white-blue to red-white-blue because Orange didn’t stand out enough on sea, and because the Netherlands was a republic for a brief period in history.
That is not true Roy Hoeksema.
het was oranje blanje blue, maar de verfstof voor het oranje was niet lichtvast en verbleekte te snel. Toen is men overgestapt op Meekrap wat een goed blijvend rood opleverde
a couple of small fun facts
1. ever since the beginning, the dutch have battled against the water, and with succes. and since the disaster in 1953, the dutch have spend millions to build a series of Waterdefence mechanisms called the Deltaworks. a series of construction to prevent flooding! Measlandkering, 2 times the size of the eiffeltower. Oosterscheldekering, the largest of all of 13!! constructions, consisting of multiple storm surge barriers! and lets not forget the Afsluitdijk!
2. The Netherlands flourished back in 1588 till 1702. that is known as the golden age. within this time period the dutch dominated the seas and trade, sailing over 2500 ships, which was more than great brittain, portugal and france combined!
this time period has made has made a huge mark on The Netherlands in both culture as in trading. (think of Tulips, yeah. they were imported :P )
3. many of the painters we know today came from this time period. think of Vermeer, Rembrandt van Rijn, Jan Steen and many more painters showed how The Netherlands must have been looked like within those times. most of those paintings are now being found all over the world.
4. the province of Flevoland is completely man-made and won from the sea! also with the use of those windmills!
5. The Hague officially never got the right to call itself a city. and when it finally did, the title wasn't worth anything.
because when king napoleon Bonaparte visited the city, The Netherlands had already switched over to municipalities and so no city or town was better than the other. ;) still, the city officially isn't the capital. but it does take all the functions of any other capital. the government is located there, as well as all the ambassies and the resedence of the King is also in the hague.
-
the Hague is also called the City of justice and peace. the international court of law is situated here. (war criminals from all over the world will be judged here.) the peace palace is here as well.
What I love about your vids, is that the facts are like grown-up facts
The netherlands had war for 80 years and one day exactly against spain, there are festives about the freedom after that in brielle and the recapture of dordrecht is a amazing story you should know (sorry, my english is bad)
Perhaps talk a little more about the Dutch history, like how they were the founders of Capitalism and also had one of the largest navies in the world at some point in history. Or how they were the first country to recognize America as independant (by accident), etcetera, etcetera.
DentalSpace You do realize that the Netherlands did not found capitalism? I think you got confused with the stock market... And it does not matter that we were the first to recognize the independance of North America since we already lost our influence there by that time...
Whether we more or less invented capitalism directly or indirectly through the stock market or what ever doesn't matter, it's still a fun fact to research and/or discuss for a video. Same goes for the recognition of the United States, which the story behind is amusing. There are many more things (especially great things) about Dutch history that are interesting to discuss, don't you agree?
DentalSpace actually morocco was the first country to recognize America as independent. That’s.. dude.. literally everyone on earth knows that.
Morocco was the first to name the US as official country in a trade agreement, the French to recognize their country, but the Dutch unofficialy (by accident) recognized them as country by replying to their flag signal on sea which was seen as a sign of recognition. The US raised their flag, and the Dutch raised theirs in response - thinking it were the English since they didn't recognize the flag completely. Sorry for the bad formulation.
DentalSpace Adam Smith invented Capitalism and he was British
my favorite part is when he's like "netherlAAnds"
PART 3!!! Would be sick :)
Nice vid bro! Im actually from Amsterdam. 👍🏻 In part 3, maybe mention our kingsday celebration (formerly known as queensday). This is an annual event where thousands of people from all around the world go out, have fun, drink, dance and celebrate our king.
I love the pictures from Zeeland, Middelburg its so funny I cycle there every day to school hahaha
It is king willem alexander not william😂 but still a good video🤗
Nikki de Ruiter William is de Engelse vertaling van Willem
more like king billy as the name William is a touchy subject in England. king billy was the nickname of William III or William II (their the same person but in England he is known as William II). and that is another thing about the Netherlands xd we have been part of almost anyone's history
Amazing video, love the drone footage! Maybe you could research “Twente” for another part? It’s near the German border with also their own language/dialect, which is a mix of Dutch and German and it’s one of the few places which isn’t below sea level with many amazing castles and a complete different type of nature! Keep up the good work 😄👍🏼
looking at these 2 part vids and all i could say is, im so proud to be living here.
Hey like als je Nederlands bent 👌🏻😂

Please part 3 ❤️
Love this video i am dutch myself the way you say Friesland the first time was so cingy
I am dutch, i love NL but i don’t like the rain or storms. 😆
Mitchel Schmidt niemand vind het leuk maar ik ben trots op NL en ik laat niets veranderen door alle immigranten die willen allemaal onze cultuur afpakken ik mis vroeger toen zeurde er nog niemand
It barely rains in the Netherlands. Just compare it to the so called ‘sunshine state’ of the USA, aka Florida. It rains almost 3 times as much over there. And England is even worse...
Randy Van Den Heuvel De enigen die tegenwoordig zeuren zijn de zwakbegaafde racisten. Waarom ben jij in de veronderstelling dat immigranten de Nederlandse cultuur willen wijzigen?
Roy Hoeksema Erg makkelijk om iedereen met een verschillende mening een zwakbegaafde racist te noemen Roy.
Mvg

King Willem Alexander also has served in the navy and got his pilot license during military service and got trained to fly the government Fokker and KLM 737
I'm Dutch and I love you're video's💖
if you'll ever do a part 3, you can really help out a lot of tourists by mentioning we don't celebrate "koninginnedag" (queensday) anymore in holland. It used to be on the 30th of april and still every april 30th there's tons of tourists who read old brochures coming dressed fully orange..
Since we now have a king, we celebrate "Koningsdag"(king's day, which is the king's birthday) instead, which is on the 27th of april. Unless it's on a sunday, if so it will be celebrated on the 26th (*saturday).
The celebrations however are still the same: everyone dressed in orange, a nationwide free/flea market (kinda like a garagesale combined with a talentshow, a food festival and a free for all open air music festival) celebrated in all cities and towns across the country. On that same day the royal family usually visits 1 city to join the festivities.
Talk about soccer/voetbal (PSV,feyenoord,ajax)
(Eindhoven,roterdam,amsterdam)
5:08 Is dat niet diezelfde guy die Australië ECHT als eerste had ondekt?
I'm Dutch and i like these 2 videos about my country! Really accurate! I'm going to watch the other countries as well! Also a nice correction of your pronunciation of the province Friesland! :P
In July 17.9 degrees Celsius the hottest temperature?? xD That is not true... Definetely not true. In July it's always around 20 degrees and (in the south) it can be around 35 degrees at its hottest. It can be hot in here, just not as hot as in some other countries. We are a small country with water around us. But our climate makes the heat unbearable... haha. Makes you sweat like an otter. (I just realized that is a Dutch expression...)
Rosanne Bekker I'm guessing that 17 degrees is the average temperature for the entire 24h day which makes it much warmer than that in the daytime.
Hahaha yuup :D and about the Dutch expression, we will see that through the fingers. xp
He didn't say maximum, he said average mean, which means the average of all daily averages. Apart from the fact that temperature on those hot days can drop dramatically in the night, those 30 degrees top temperatures are relatively rare. We usually see 25 degrees as top temperatures on most days.
It is from 30 years telt. You learnt this on school
It's indeed average, highest is alot higher
OKAY! what about the netherland dwarf rabbit??!!
Yeah we do have them and their delicious! But tbh; they're not that well known over here.
@@laziojohnny79 well... wish i never read that...

Can you plzzz make a part 3, and then tell something about the city Eindhoven, in Noord-Brabant. Nicknamed "The City of Light) in the Netherlands. :D
Have you heard of the 4-days marches? It's an annual event in the city of Nijmegen in Gelderland. People from all over the world come there to walk either 30, 40 or 50 kilometers each day for 4 days. Around the marches, the city has parties for the entire week. It's every third week of July. It's awesome. I've heard people call it the Summer Capital of the Netherlands
Proud to be dutch 🇳🇱🇳🇱
That we can drink water out of the cranes because of the waterfiltering system and 1st place in speaking English as second language.(I am Dutch too how i can speak english as a 13 year old boy TTO double language school) houdoe!
Pipiklatie dan weet je dat een crane geen waterkraan is....dat is een hijskraan!!
Eigenlijk wordt dat verzuiverde water vooral in Brabant gebruikt (door het bedrijf Brabant Water- volgens mij opgericht in Eindhoven)
crane is tap mijn TTO (bilangual in het Engels) broeder
Ik kon al vanaf me 8ste vloeiend engels
@@larsnoom5474 Alleen Nederlands gaat je niet zo goed af he? hahahah
As province Limburg has the oldest capital city. MAASTRICHT! The Romans build a bridge over the river. The Maas is the river and Tricht means bridge so the capital city name explained. Maastricht ❤️
Nope, Nijmegen is the oldest capital city, it's been here for 2013 years
Roy Craenen I think you have to check Wikipedia. In West MAASTRICHT Belvedere they found human traces of living of 250.000 years old. Maastricht is the oldest continually inhabited city.
Even though the Netherlands is a small country, it is the second biggest exporter of dairy products in the world, you forgot to mention that, I am a former Dutch person living in Melbourne, Australia. Still very proud of the country of my birth, even though I left the Netherlands 56 years ago, but I am still a Dutch citizen and have been back many times, since 1966 about 15 times.
I love these videos! Specially about the Dutchies!
since there's most likely a part three. why not include our inportance on the art world. For instance : Van gogh. Hierominous Bosch and rembrandt
Waarvan 2 Brabanders, waar we zo als gewoonlijk weer bijna niks over horen, want het heilige Holland , behoefd de meeste aandacht.
