The Dutch of that 17th Century period came up with a Document that we here in The Netherlands call the 'Plakkaat van Verlatinghe;' it was the first ever 'Declaration of Independence' the world had ever seen. This Plakkaat van Verlatinghe was the inspiration for the American Founding Fathers to write their Declaration of Independence.

My Dutch-American family's original ancestor came here in 1659 and married a wealthy widow who had a farm at the now present day World Trade Center area. Apparently, the farm was sold or annexed and descendants fought for the rightful proceeds for almost 200 years. Given the value of the property today, one can certainly see why!
As a decendent of those early Dutch Settlers I was delighted to read a version of the early history along the Hudson River that doesn't include the English propaganda in those days. I was a bit disappointed that you failed to mention the slaves brought into New Amsterdam in the late 1620s to help with the labor shortage. The relationship between the colonist and those early slaves manifested into what could be termed, 'mutual cooperation'; they became some of the earliest sharecroppers in the Americas, as they were allow certain freedoms found only later in the Spanish Colony of Florida. They were also allowed arms to help in defence of the city during the Indian wars.
There are so many names that are referring to the Dutch colony like: Yankees (common Dutch names "Jan" and "Kees"), Rhode island (Rood Eiland), Harlem (Dutch city of Haarlem), Brooklyn (Dutch city of Breukelen), Flushing (Dutch city of Vlissingen), Broadway (Breedeweg), Cookies (koekjes), Bronx (jonas Bronck,sorry, that was a swedish in Dutch duty)), Wallstreet (Walstraat), Staten Island (Staaten Eiland), and many more...
This was a most interesting history lesson. My ancestors were part of this very history as early colonists in New Netherland. My ancestors were Walloons, Huguenots, Dutch and Norwegians who came to the new colony to seek out their lively-hood and have religious freedom.
To see early maps and paintings of what Manhattan looked like during the 1600's was amazing. To learn and see all the types of indigenous people around the area was so informative. Thanks.
Imagine, in 1609, wading into the waters off of the tip of Manhattan Island and being able to reach down and pull out oysters the size of salad plates. The Algonquin/Lenape showed this, and how to eat them, to Henry Hudson.
And adjust the construction of the text. It was hard to tell where a sentence started and where it ended, especially with those lengthy pauses in between. Perhaps find someone to narrate it? It was a really interesting video to watch so I'd say it's worth it.
Very sad that people believe that Manhattan was purchased for 60 guilders or $24... it was an agreement to allow the Dutch to live and trade on the land, not for them to "own" the land, the concept did not exist in Mohawk culture. I love all the maps, art, sound effects of this nice movie.
the Dutch also got Suriname and Palau as a package deal, which was very important to them for the spice and herb trade. Perhaps at that time it was a fair deal, in retrospect not so much ;)
I always wanted to know more about New Netherland (or Nieuw-Nederland), as a Dutch. I already had some useful information about it, but not as detailed as you now can see in this video. I am very happy to see the details.
The replica of the Half Moon was exactly copied in wood and ropes with no engine.It was anchored at a marina at the foot of Manhattan. On 9/11, a ships crew of young boys was aboard with the trained captain and saw all the horrors. For days they worked to save survivors, ferrying them across to New Jersey. The boys were 13 years old.

My 7th GGF was a part of New Netherland. His name was Tomys Swartwout, he was one of a group of 5 men from The Netherlands, who were the first to trade tabacco with the American Indians. That part of my ancestry also founded Flatbush, NY, Kingston NY later on, and so on and so on. Old Dutch.

My family goes back to Jan Janszoon and his son Anthony who with his wife Grietje were the first colonial settlers of Brooklyn.

Their farm was near Coney Island which for a long time was known as Turks Island.

Please get the dates right - Hudson lays claim on behalf of the Dutch Republic in 1609. The English capture it in 1664 in peacetime with 4 ships. The Dutch re-take it with 23 ships in 1672 - cede it to England by treaty 15 months later, and Leisler takes it back in 1689 on behalf of William of Orange, Dutch Stadtholder sitting on the English throne as a result of the Glorious Revolution.
William III was King of England, Scotland and Ireland, but was no king of the Republic of Seven United Provinces which were ruled by the Staten General and had a Raadspensionaris ( similar to a Premier) as leader. He did not rule the Dutch republic, only his own possesions of the House of Orange Nassau. The House of Orange Nassau became Kings and Queens of what is today called the Netherlands from 1813 after the Napoleonic wars. Because the King of England was also Stadtholder of the Dutch Republic( which is a Captain-general of the Army) there was peacetime between the Dutch Republic and the UK.

Good intro and good story. Read Adriaen van der Donck's (1650) "Narrative of New Netherland" on gutenberg.net for a contemporary exposé on what was going wrong. It is so tantalising to think how it could have swung back in Holland's favour, if they had just put the colony back in order in those years before 1664. I would also suggest Dutch Schools of New Netherland and Colonial New York (1912) by WH Kilpatrick to learn how, unbelievably, English was kept out of Dutch schools until the revolution.
The Dutch West India Company bet on the wrong horse (Brazil). It just seems that New Amsterdam could not choose between being an enterprise or a town. Eventually they chose to be a town, but that was too late. So, for the most crucial years it was run as a commercial venue at low cost, low yield and thus not very interesting. By the time it really had potential, the Dutch were in jeopardy in their homeland. Priorities had to be set. New Amsterdam (low cost, low yield) was not one of them.
New Amsterdam (Dutch: Nieuw-Amsterdam) was a 17th-century Dutch settlement established at the southern tip of Manhattan Island, which served as the seat of the colonial government in New Netherland territory. It was renamed New York on September 8, 1664, in honor of the then Duke of York (later James II of England) after English forces seized control of Manhattan Island, along with the rest of the Dutch colony. The settlement, outside of Fort Amsterdam on Manhattan Island, in the New Netherland (1614-1664), was a provincial extension of the Dutch Republic as of 1624. Situated on the strategic, fortifiable southern tip of the island of Manhattan, the fort was meant to defend the Dutch West India Company's fur trade operations in the North River (Hudson River). Fort Amsterdam was designated the capital of the province in 1625. The 1625 date of the founding of New Amsterdam is now commemorated in the official Seal of New York City. (Formerly, the year on the seal was 1664, the year of the provisional Articles of Transfer, assuring New Netherlanders that they "shall keep and enjoy the liberty of their consciences in religion", negotiated with the English by Pieter Stuyvesant and his council.) Although long considered a dysfunctional trading post by the English who took it over, Russell Shorto, author of "The Island at the Center of the World", suggests that the city indeed left its cultural marks on later New York and, by extension, the United States as a whole. The first recorded exploration by the Dutch of the area around what is now called New York Bay was in 1609 with the voyage of the ship Halve Maen (English: "Half Moon"), captained by Henry Hudson[2] in the service of the Dutch Republic, as the emissary of Maurice of Nassau, Prince of Orange, Holland's stadholder. Hudson named the river the Mauritius River. He was covertly attempting to find the Northwest Passage for the Dutch East India Company. Instead, he brought back news about the possibility of exploitation of beaver pelts in the area, leading to private commercial interest by the Dutch who sent commercial, private missions to the area the following years. At the time, beaver pelts were highly prized in Europe, because the fur could be felted to make waterproof hats. A by-product of the trade in beaver pelts was castoreum-the secretion of the animals' anal glands-which was used for its medicinal properties and for perfumes. The expeditions by Adriaen Block and Hendrick Christiansz in 1611, 1612, 1613 and 1614 resulted in the surveying and charting of the region from the 38th parallel to the 45th parallel. On their 1614 map, which gave them a four-year trade monopoly under a patent of the States General, they named the newly discovered and mapped territory New Netherland for the first time. It also showed the first year-round trading presence in New Netherland, Fort Nassau, which would be replaced in 1624 by Fort Orange, which eventually grew into the town of Beverwyck, now Albany. Dominican trader Juan Rodriguez (rendered in Dutch as Jan Rodrigues), born in Santo Domingo of Portuguese and African descent, arrived in Manhattan during the winter of 1613-1614, trapping for pelts and trading with the local population as a representative of the Dutch. He was the first recorded non-Native American inhabitant of what would eventually become New York City. The territory of New Netherland, containing the Northeast's largest rivers with access to the beaver trade, was originally a private, profit-making commercial enterprise focusing on cementing alliances and conducting trade with the diverse Indian tribes. Surveying and exploration of the region was conducted as a prelude to an anticipated official settlement by the Dutch Republic, which occurred in 1624.
The actual transcribed dutch records by Syracuse University disproved the dysfunctional trading outpost theory. The English wanted due to its prosperity. The documentation of the time doesn't lie.
my forfathers went from netherland to surinam, curacao and new amsterdam during the time of stuyvesant. I like this video very much. still I miss the dark part of this history... slavery! stuyvesant brought the first ship with slaves to new york. he made money for his company with slaves. uncountable numbers. no critic, just a thought. I was enjoying the video
Thank you! Finally somebody mentioning the Flemish here! As the Spaniards, ordered by the Vatican, were conquering Flanders(Southern Netherlands), many protestants had fled north to the actual Netherlands. Many big cities all of a sudden had up to 80% of their citizens to be Flemish refugees! So it was a whole migration! So Nieu Amsterdam can almost be seen as ... Nieu Antwerpen.
Waarom zijn jullie altijd zo ontzettend jaloers? Jullie waren en zijn in principe ook Nederlanders, maar jullie kozen er zelf voor om met de Franse ons ( jullie eigen volk ) aan te vallen om je vervolgens af te kunnen scheiden van ons.... Echt ontzettend jammer!
@@j.w7611 geen zin om met dit soort triestige mensen in discussie te gaan. Ze hebben het altijd erover dat Vlamingen naar Amsterdam trokken en daar de stad groot maakten. Toch vindt je in heel Amsterdam, niks terug van voor of achternamen van Vlaamse origine. Het zijn een stel triestige Calimero's die zelfs na bijna 200 jaar hun minderwaardigheidscomplex niet hebben opgelost. Hij krijgt ook geen enkele like op deze zinloze comment. Zegt genoeg toch? Christopher Columbus is nu ook ineens een Belg. Het moet niet gekker worden. Volgens de officiële geschiedenis toch echt een Italiaan.
@@j.w7611 het is te triest voor woorden. Het zijn ook vaak dezelfde lieden die je in de comments tegenkomt. Vaak wordt er simpelweg gelogen of gedraaid over geschiedenis omdat de Belgen onze rol in de geschiedenis niet kunnen accepteren, uiteraard vanuit minderwaardigheid. Dat is al sinds 1830 het geval, en bij bepaalde lieden zal dat nooit verdwijnen.
Great document about New Netherland. Unfortunately it "passes by" as the written history in general does, the history (period 1609-1624) of the first Dutch traders being there active possible even before 1609 and who established sustainable trading relationships with the natives in the upper Hudson river allowing them to reconstruct (1611/12) Fort Nassau at Castle Island todays port of Albany NY predecessor of Fort Orange (Located just above) in 1624 and fort New Amsterdam. newnetherlanddotnet
First of all, I love Ernst Stolz and just about everything he does. I enjoyed this history very much having lived in Holland many years, but being American. I think something that was overlooked, however, and cannot be overstated is, The Netherlands as a unified country, in this period, was still finding its identity. The Eighty Year's War with Spain had only recently concluded at the end of the 1500's and forced the formerly loose confederation of Dutch provinces to unite. And they created the first modern Republic since the time of the Greeks. And while its true the Dutch were natural traders and explorers, they were not only having problems with the English, but were not very United at home. The States General (Parliament) constantly bickered between the ideals of running a republic and the tradition of a king (House of Orange). Look at what happened to Johan de Witt and his brother in 1672 with their public execution and dismemberment. No wonder that Nieuw Amsterdam languished while awaiting direction and management from "home". I find it remarkable that they managed to send 21 ships to take back the colony from the English. And no surprise they lost it again. Who can say how things would have gone had the Dutch remained in the New World? But they not only lost their colony, they lost their republic as well. As for the colors of the flag: the Dutch, English and American flags share red, white and blue colors mainly because these were the colors that were on the robes of the High Priest in Jerusalem at least in the time of David. All of Europe's monarchies, especially England's, claim divine rights directly from God. And Willem of Orange was I think a nephew of Henry II. And he had family in what's today called Germany. I may have a few details wrong. But what's so interesting is all the little details of the symbolism: the flag colors, the arrows in the eagles claw etc. etc. The gables of the trade houses not only in Amsterdam but Alkmaar, Haarlem etc. are still visible from all those years ago. And here in America, virtually nothing. As a truck driver in this country, I've observed that progress here favors new over old and if new needs the room, old gets torn down. The midwest is full of old buildings and businesses because their heyday was 1890's, or 1920's or whenever it was... and nothing came along to replace it. I grew up in Southern California and very little remains of the original Pueblo de Los Angeles. Olvera Street. Even places from classic Hollywood era are gone. New, more hip has moved in knocked down and replaced the old. Just a different value system. Not saying it's better. Just different Anyway, thank you for the posting!!
Exactly my thoughts, but decided to stick with it. It was really worth it! Also a very interesting last part where he mentioned noticable (and often forgotten) Dutch influences on current-day USA. It took me a bit longer than 42 minutes though, because I kept pausing the video to take a closer look at those awesome old maps and smile at every Dutch name/thing I recognized, lol :P
Jason Voorhees "Voorhees" sounds typical Dutch to me. Do you know how many Dutch died in the resistance of WW2, or the soldiers that were killed on the Grebbeberg, or the Afsluitdijk, because they were in a great minority ? Sure, there must have been cowards, but a lot of Dutch gave the ultimate sacrifice for Holland.
Jason Voorhees I agree about the Royal family, but the soldiers have bin fighting bravely. The decision of surrendering to the Nazi's whas or whe surrender, or every city whas bombarded .Bombarding the city of Rotterdam whas one of they're warnings. Cowerdness is international, so is courage.
Jason Voorhees And what about Belgium, Luxemburg, France and Spain ? What about the ressistance during the war ? I agree there were cowards in this country, but not all of the Dutch were like that. Holland whas promissed nutrality, like in ww1, but whe ended up with an army who only had some pistols and bycicles, fighting thanks and machine guns. A lot of them gave they're life's. And many people of the resistanse have been hanged or shot by firing squadrons. So don't say that Holland is coward nation. Our grave yards say otherwise.
My familly name is De Valck and is of Dutch origin.From what i gathered it means TRANSPORTER WITH INDIA OR INDIES.Could it be one of my ancestors work for the OVC ? Cool :)
***** Agreed with you that the name IN ITSELF doesn't have perhaps anything to do with the VOC....BUT...reasearch into our familly tree has shown that ancestors of mine were AND I QUOTE " TRANSPORTERS WITH INDIA " so further digging revealed this. And as what concerns the explanations of my familly name HARTELIJK DANK but i knew this.nonetheless,thank you for willing to help :)

Thank you for your kindness and clarification.I really love to dig in history and especially my familly history too :) Love paranormal things too BUT,that's not the point here lol. Anyway's,thank you so much again.
so it cannot be a coincidence that I read your lines ... De Valck most probably refers to a falcon as a symbol on the family flag(weapon) which in origin was typical flemish - later also dutch(which is nearly the same thing) so and also it is a noble name. The freedom thing also was rather flemish(many fled north for the spanish troops)
***** Also makes sense.Thank you too for trying to help me seeing clearer into all this.I had heard this some while ago.Nonetheless it's nice to see that there are still some helpfull and sincere folks out there :)
lol, good joke. I work for the deaf myself doing closed captioning in colleges. But this is a very interesting documentary, so interesting I didn't want to read. lol
people like to believe that North America is just US and Canada, but this is not true, Mexico is part of North America, There is a clasification where Mexico is located in central America because we don't speak English... anyway this is a hisotrical thing and people will always refer to "America" when they talk about US ...

Lekker lopen te liegen bij lief en leed. Het deel wat tegenwoordig Belgie is werd bewoond door boeren in de tijd van de VOC. Een paar trokken naar het rijke noorden. Amsterdam was toen al een relatief belangrijke stad. Enkhuizen en Hoorn eveneens door de VOC roots. Antwerpen was niks meer dan een kleine vesting. Triestige calimero's

New Amsterdam (Dutch: Nieuw-Amsterdam) was a 17th-century Dutch settlement established at the southern tip of Manhattan Island, which served as the seat of the colonial government in New Netherland territory. It was renamed New York on September 8, 1664, in honor of the then Duke of York (later James II of England) after English forces seized control of Manhattan Island, along with the rest of the Dutch colony.
The settlement, outside of Fort Amsterdam on Manhattan Island, in the New Netherland (1614-1664), was a provincial extension of the Dutch Republic as of 1624. Situated on the strategic, fortifiable southern tip of the island of Manhattan, the fort was meant to defend the Dutch West India Company's fur trade operations in the North River (Hudson River). Fort Amsterdam was designated the capital of the province in 1625.
The 1625 date of the founding of New Amsterdam is now commemorated in the official Seal of New York City. (Formerly, the year on the seal was 1664, the year of the provisional Articles of Transfer, assuring New Netherlanders that they "shall keep and enjoy the liberty of their consciences in religion", negotiated with the English by Pieter Stuyvesant and his council.)
Although long considered a dysfunctional trading post by the English who took it over, Russell Shorto, author of "The Island at the Center of the World", suggests that the city indeed left its cultural marks on later New York and, by extension, the United States as a whole.
The first recorded exploration by the Dutch of the area around what is now called New York Bay was in 1609 with the voyage of the ship Halve Maen (English: "Half Moon"), captained by Henry Hudson[2] in the service of the Dutch Republic, as the emissary of Maurice of Nassau, Prince of Orange, Holland's stadholder. Hudson named the river the Mauritius River. He was covertly attempting to find the Northwest Passage for the Dutch East India Company. Instead, he brought back news about the possibility of exploitation of beaver pelts in the area, leading to private commercial interest by the Dutch who sent commercial, private missions to the area the following years.
At the time, beaver pelts were highly prized in Europe, because the fur could be felted to make waterproof hats. A by-product of the trade in beaver pelts was castoreum-the secretion of the animals' anal glands-which was used for its medicinal properties and for perfumes. The expeditions by Adriaen Block and Hendrick Christiansz in 1611, 1612, 1613 and 1614 resulted in the surveying and charting of the region from the 38th parallel to the 45th parallel. On their 1614 map, which gave them a four-year trade monopoly under a patent of the States General, they named the newly discovered and mapped territory New Netherland for the first time. It also showed the first year-round trading presence in New Netherland, Fort Nassau, which would be replaced in 1624 by Fort Orange, which eventually grew into the town of Beverwyck, now Albany.
Dominican trader Juan Rodriguez (rendered in Dutch as Jan Rodrigues), born in Santo Domingo of Portuguese and African descent, arrived in Manhattan during the winter of 1613-1614, trapping for pelts and trading with the local population as a representative of the Dutch. He was the first recorded non-Native American inhabitant of what would eventually become New York City.
The territory of New Netherland, containing the Northeast's largest rivers with access to the beaver trade, was originally a private, profit-making commercial enterprise focusing on cementing alliances and conducting trade with the diverse Indian tribes. Surveying and exploration of the region was conducted as a prelude to an anticipated official settlement by the Dutch Republic, which occurred in 1624.
+Ivan Armando Martorell very, very impressed.
I'm covering this topic in my class currently in college, and I have a few more questions would you mind messaging me?
Nice, however, I believe everyone here can google 'New Netherlands' in Wikipedia.
The actual transcribed dutch records by Syracuse University disproved the dysfunctional trading outpost theory. The English wanted due to its prosperity. The documentation of the time doesn't lie.
Nice, but I missed the battle of Medway/Chatham and the treaty of Breda, giving NY to the British in exchange for the then more valuable Suriname.
My great grandfather 14 was Wolfert Guiretts Van Couwenhoven.
Could you, perhaps.. name the two songs you used in the documentary?
I especially love the opera one.
Well, bicycle infrastructure would have been much better if the Dutch had not integrated as much as they did.
my forfathers went from netherland to surinam, curacao and new amsterdam during the time of stuyvesant. I like this video very much. still I miss the dark part of this history... slavery! stuyvesant brought the first ship with slaves to new york. he made money for his company with slaves. uncountable numbers. no critic, just a thought. I was enjoying the video
So, white subtitles over bright background doesn't work;). And after 8 years it's still not fixed...
Thank you! Finally somebody mentioning the Flemish here! As the Spaniards, ordered by the Vatican, were conquering Flanders(Southern Netherlands), many protestants had fled north to the actual Netherlands. Many big cities all of a sudden had up to 80% of their citizens to be Flemish refugees! So it was a whole migration! So Nieu Amsterdam can almost be seen as ... Nieu Antwerpen.
Waarom zijn jullie altijd zo ontzettend jaloers? Jullie waren en zijn in principe ook Nederlanders, maar jullie kozen er zelf voor om met de Franse ons ( jullie eigen volk ) aan te vallen om je vervolgens af te kunnen scheiden van ons.... Echt ontzettend jammer!
And they discoverd the new world , Columbus was in fact a Belgiëm . Hahahaha.
@@j.w7611 geen zin om met dit soort triestige mensen in discussie te gaan.
Ze hebben het altijd erover dat Vlamingen naar Amsterdam trokken en daar de stad groot maakten. Toch vindt je in heel Amsterdam, niks terug van voor of achternamen van Vlaamse origine.
Het zijn een stel triestige Calimero's die zelfs na bijna 200 jaar hun minderwaardigheidscomplex niet hebben opgelost.
Hij krijgt ook geen enkele like op deze zinloze comment. Zegt genoeg toch?
Christopher Columbus is nu ook ineens een Belg. Het moet niet gekker worden. Volgens de officiële geschiedenis toch echt een Italiaan.
@@j.w7611 het is te triest voor woorden. Het zijn ook vaak dezelfde lieden die je in de comments tegenkomt. Vaak wordt er simpelweg gelogen of gedraaid over geschiedenis omdat de Belgen onze rol in de geschiedenis niet kunnen accepteren, uiteraard vanuit minderwaardigheid. Dat is al sinds 1830 het geval, en bij bepaalde lieden zal dat nooit verdwijnen.
My family name "Luitwieler" has been migrated to North America in the year 1836.
Luitwieler family came from province Zeeland

Lovely stunning,
How come "Novi Belgie"
On coats of arms official seals etc
Oh & the "Beaver" just curious.
Fantastic documentary!!!!
Thanks I shall i am familiar with that author!
Cookies, Cooper, rugsack, Hammock, bulwark, Koekjes, kuiper, rugzak hangmat, bolwerk . The Dutch are still there, in the language.
I’m part Dutch but through my Dad’s side and Ghanaian roots. The Dutch colonized Ghana so I have a bit of that history.
The beautifull thing about facts is that you don't necessarily have to belief them in order for them to be true ^^
Great document about New Netherland. Unfortunately it "passes by" as the written history in general does, the history (period 1609-1624) of the first Dutch traders being there active possible even before 1609 and who established sustainable trading relationships with the natives in the upper Hudson river allowing them to reconstruct (1611/12) Fort Nassau at Castle Island todays port of Albany NY predecessor of Fort Orange (Located just above) in 1624 and fort New Amsterdam. newnetherlanddotnet
This is an interesting story, So sad that they chose to do this, in a freaking boring way !!! to us.
True I just like hearing a vice as well. :D
wish the Dutch had kept it. American history would have been vastly different. And maybe there would be Clakkers.
You forgot the voice over.
First of all, I love Ernst Stolz and just about everything he does. I enjoyed this history very much having lived in Holland many years, but being American. I think something that was overlooked, however, and cannot be overstated is, The Netherlands as a unified country, in this period, was still finding its identity. The Eighty Year's War with Spain had only recently concluded at the end of the 1500's and forced the formerly loose confederation of Dutch provinces to unite. And they created the first modern Republic since the time of the Greeks. And while its true the Dutch were natural traders and explorers, they were not only having problems with the English, but were not very United at home. The States General (Parliament) constantly bickered between the ideals of running a republic and the tradition of a king (House of Orange). Look at what happened to Johan de Witt and his brother in 1672 with their public execution and dismemberment. No wonder that Nieuw Amsterdam languished while awaiting direction and management from "home". I find it remarkable that they managed to send 21 ships to take back the colony from the English. And no surprise they lost it again. Who can say how things would have gone had the Dutch remained in the New World? But they not only lost their colony, they lost their republic as well.
As for the colors of the flag: the Dutch, English and American flags share red, white and blue colors mainly because these were the colors that were on the robes of the High Priest in Jerusalem at least in the time of David. All of Europe's monarchies, especially England's, claim divine rights directly from God. And Willem of Orange was I think a nephew of Henry II. And he had family in what's today called Germany. I may have a few details wrong. But what's so interesting is all the little details of the symbolism: the flag colors, the arrows in the eagles claw etc. etc. The gables of the trade houses not only in Amsterdam but Alkmaar, Haarlem etc. are still visible from all those years ago. And here in America, virtually nothing. As a truck driver in this country, I've observed that progress here favors new over old and if new needs the room, old gets torn down. The midwest is full of old buildings and businesses because their heyday was 1890's, or 1920's or whenever it was... and nothing came along to replace it. I grew up in Southern California and very little remains of the original Pueblo de Los Angeles. Olvera Street. Even places from classic Hollywood era are gone. New, more hip has moved in knocked down and replaced the old. Just a different value system. Not saying it's better. Just different
Anyway, thank you for the posting!!
No voice over? WTF? *turns it off*
Exactly my thoughts, but decided to stick with it. It was really worth it! Also a very interesting last part where he mentioned noticable (and often forgotten) Dutch influences on current-day USA.
It took me a bit longer than 42 minutes though, because I kept pausing the video to take a closer look at those awesome old maps and smile at every Dutch name/thing I recognized, lol :P
Even the Russian flag is based on the Dutch flag.
Jason Voorhees
"Voorhees" sounds typical Dutch to me.
Do you know how many Dutch died in the resistance of WW2, or the soldiers that were killed on the Grebbeberg, or the Afsluitdijk, because they were in a great minority ? Sure, there must have been cowards, but a lot of Dutch gave the ultimate sacrifice for Holland.
Jason Voorhees
I agree about the Royal family, but the soldiers have bin fighting bravely. The decision of surrendering to the Nazi's whas or whe surrender, or every city whas bombarded .Bombarding the city of Rotterdam whas one of they're warnings.
Cowerdness is international, so is courage.
Jason Voorhees you do'nt have to remind me of Dutchbat.
I hope you did read everything about it.
Jason Voorhees
And what about Belgium, Luxemburg, France and Spain ?
What about the ressistance during the war ?
I agree there were cowards in this country, but not all of the Dutch were like that.
Holland whas promissed nutrality, like in ww1, but whe ended up with an army who only had some pistols and bycicles, fighting thanks and machine guns. A lot of them gave they're life's. And many people of the resistanse have been hanged or shot by firing squadrons.
So don't say that Holland is coward nation. Our grave yards say otherwise.
Jason Voorhees YOU ARE A COWARD
Stuyvesant looks like Putin...
Ow bedoelde hij dat ik heb eigenlijk het hele filmpje miet eens gezien en ik zit op vwo
Those Dutch loved them beavers;)
Pappa heeft een splinternieuwe tas!!!
My familly name is De Valck and is of Dutch origin.From what i gathered it means TRANSPORTER WITH INDIA OR INDIES.Could it be one of my ancestors work for the OVC ? Cool :)
*****
Agreed with you that the name IN ITSELF doesn't have perhaps anything to do with the VOC....BUT...reasearch into our familly tree has shown that ancestors of mine were AND I QUOTE " TRANSPORTERS WITH INDIA " so further digging revealed this. And as what concerns the explanations of my familly name HARTELIJK DANK but i knew this.nonetheless,thank you for willing to help :)

Thank you for your kindness and clarification.I really love to dig in history and especially my familly history too :)
Love paranormal things too BUT,that's not the point here lol. Anyway's,thank you so much again.
so it cannot be a coincidence that I read your lines ... De Valck most probably refers to a falcon as a symbol on the family flag(weapon) which in origin was typical flemish - later also dutch(which is nearly the same thing) so and also it is a noble name. The freedom thing also was rather flemish(many fled north for the spanish troops)
*****
Also makes sense.Thank you too for trying to help me seeing clearer into all this.I had heard this some while ago.Nonetheless it's nice to see that there are still some helpfull and sincere folks out there :)
Good traders later became bad colonialists......
Great Documentary. the sett of, in white letters as comment, is a total disaster. You guys good do so much better...
mooi
The V.O.C. was the first multinational ,
The richest company on earth, 7.8 trillion nowadays. no company now comes close.
lol, good joke. I work for the deaf myself doing closed captioning in colleges. But this is a very interesting documentary, so interesting I didn't want to read. lol
the largest city in North America, really? How about Mexico city...
i know im late but isnt mexico middle america?
people like to believe that North America is just US and Canada, but this is not true, Mexico is part of North America, There is a clasification where Mexico is located in central America because we don't speak English... anyway this is a hisotrical thing and people will always refer to "America" when they talk about US ...
i guess with the wall that will be south america soon lol
Ghanaian Caribbean and 1/16th Dutch
Is there something like 'good colonialists' and who were they?
Boom holland !!!!!
it was called new Amsterdam not new Netherlands
Both names were actually used.
I hate reading. Why can't we have a voice speaking....
My ancestry!!
In the beginning the most of the Heeren were from the South, which is called Belgium today, those are the fact. Maybe you were looking outside the window when the Golden Age was teached at school. I think you should apologize for this stupid reaction, not giving information that would convince us from your point of view and also blasting, which makes you a poor boy!
Waarom zijn jullie altijd zo ontzettend jaloers? Jullie waren en zijn in principe ook Nederlanders, maar jullie kozen er zelf voor om met de Franse ons ( jullie eigen volk ) aan te vallen om je vervolgens af te kunnen scheiden van ons.... Echt ontzettend jammer!
Lekker lopen te liegen bij lief en leed. Het deel wat tegenwoordig Belgie is werd bewoond door boeren in de tijd van de VOC. Een paar trokken naar het rijke noorden. Amsterdam was toen al een relatief belangrijke stad. Enkhuizen en Hoorn eveneens door de VOC roots. Antwerpen was niks meer dan een kleine vesting. Triestige calimero's
narrate this my guy, hell venmo me 15 bones and I'll read it.
Blah blah blah...
