The Eighty Years' War
Вставка
- Опубліковано 15 бер 2018
- The 80 Years' War saw the area of the Low Countries of modern-day Belgium, the Netherlands, Luxembourg, and parts of Northeast France and Northern German transformed into the first incarnation of the modern country of the Netherlands. The Dutch provinces of Holland, Utrecht, Zeeland, Friesland, Gelderland, Groningen, Overijssel and Drenthe formed the Dutch Republic after successfully rebelling against the mighty Spanish Empire ruled at the time by King Phillip II. The tale of the 80 Years War is an intricate tale of alliance and betrayal, French and English princes, the Armada, the House of Orange, and the almost century-long deadlock between the Dutch and the Spanish.

That moment when the anthem of the Netherlands still has "I always honored the king of Spain" in it.
Seriously? 🤣😂😅
That's becouse of that the song is a description of the thougt of Willem de Zwijger
@@hisexcellencypresidentofre4118 jup .... and german blood
Makes sense, he always honoured the king of spain and wasnt rebelling for his own gain, but because he couldnt just sit and watch the bloodcourts rounding up everyone and killing them. He felt he was forced to do something, so the lyrics make perfect sense.
swami dude, yes it makes perfect sense except that he wanted the crown for himself from the beginning.

After 40 years one soldier said to the other: "finaly it's halftime"!
Spain's problem in this war is: Dutch pronvinces difficult to get reinforcements and supplies to from Spain, especially after loss of territories on the "Spanish Road" through other territories. Also wages going unpaid leading to army mutinies. Also the 30 yrs war meant fighting the other Protestant powers and France i.e. overstretched resources.

There was little supply from Spain, they only send Governors, Generals, and terrorists.
Materials, money, and food was taken in the Netherlands! That is why they revolted in the first place, to much money was going to Spain instead of the Dutch infrastructure and population.
The Netherlands were rich, Philip II most rich 'possessions', especially Flanders and Brabant.
When the war was done those two rich provinces were poor, plundered, destroyed, ransacked.
Big turn of the tables was the Dutch taking of a big silver and gold transport from Cuba to Spain in 1628.
Spain hoped to use a part of the money against the Dutch revolt, but with the loss, the Republic used it against those who stayed loyal to the Catholic belief and therefor still accepted Spain's influence.
When the city of 's-Hertogenbosch surrendered after an enormous siege in 1629, not a single 'Spanish' soldier or defender could be found within the city.
The Eighty Years War was complicated, with many aspects and true Spanish involvement is overestimated.
@@ikergomezortiz6808
While European empires created a lot of scientific advancement you can’t say they are morally good. They were brutal, war like, exploitative and reprehensible.
Like all empires but still bad
It's true that basically all English books about the armada of 1588 exclude the Dutch from any significance at sea, I've read my fair share. However the Dutch didn't just stop at patrolling the coastlines with fly boats. England had 60 ships, 20 of them were actually Dutch sent support to Elisabeth. The Dutch also were the first to send fire ships into the armada, something that is erroneously attributed to the English. Even the movie Elisabeth has no mention of Dutch involvement.. Talking about sour grapes lingering from the later Dutch-English war.
I think that England was not decisive in that war.
Spain won decisive battles in the Netherlands, to England. And in the attempt of the English to defeat Spain globally. The Spanish Netherlands was attacked by the north by Holland. On the eastern border: Protestant Germany. To the south: France. Belgium, Luxembourg, northern France and the Palatinate remained Catholic (and many Dutch-speaking territories). The ambition of Orange was the defeat of the future Dutch empire. Portugal remained in the Spanish system a little longer, until 1640, and they managed to protect the Portuguese empire in Brazil. England had the trap for Holland ready. Although Holland has a lot of glory, and a very powerful trading system for the benefit of all of Europe.
English defeats in that context of the war of 80 years.

Hilbert, you forget one of the most important factors in the founding of the VOC, and one of the most important spanish commanders
the spanish could have taken all of the Netherlands back, with the farneze strategy, previous commanders, as you noted were ruthless, plundering and abusing even those who surrendered in good faith, leading to stiffening resistance, and thus long costly sieges and in the end often defeat for the spanish
but farneze gave every city a choice, just as the assyrians had done, he gave the rebellious elements a choice, they would get a couple months to sell of their belongings and leave, before the city would peacefully be taken
this was extremely effective, but it had another result
a huge, really huge influx of craftsmen, scholars, traders,.... most of the people who relied on being free to work and trade with people from all over, fled north, Leiden was 50% flemish(as a broad term refering to what is today flanders) other cities as well, the north only became prominent, because of this, as antwerp had been the capital of trade in the world up until that point, and documents show that the antwerp governments were constantly asking philip to not bring oppressive measures to them, but philip would not listen,
the result was a huge number of people, with an enormous liquid capital, now in the north, which in turn lead to them investing it into the VOC, since as enemies of the spanish crown, it was not as if it would matter if they broke the treaty of tordesillas, similarly the pope had no influence over them anymore, even if they were actual catholics, which many would still have been, just believing that their trade was more important than the specific version of the faith someone held,
Refreshing comment! A lot of 'historians' forget the many aspects of this time.
1 Economic envy from (between) Holland and Flanders-Brabant
2 Power struggle between citizens-merchants-craftsmen and the old establishment nobility-church
3 Religious competition between Calvinists, Lutherans, Catholics and even Jews.
4 Culture struggle between Renaissance and Middle Ages in thinking and science
5 Struggle between upcoming Centralist Nation states and Local self governing
6 Power struggle between HRE, France and Spain
7 The 'Black Death' wiped out families, villages and towns without any respect for descent, wealth or social position. This changed the view and philosophy about life itself, about religion, about social structures.
And much more...
And the changes caused by all those aspects.
A, long time ago, family member had enough of the troubles that ruined his business, sold out everything he owned to family and friends and left with a pocket full of money from Brabant to Amsterdam.
Invested a lot in one of the pre-companies and got filthy rich in no time, married the sister of another filthy rich merchant who was one of the majors of Amsterdam.
He didn't care about religion, was a Calvinist in Amsterdam, a Catholic when visiting his family, a Lutheran when he had business in Germany, and an Anglican when he imported wool from England.
He supported his noble Brabantian family when they were looted by troops, and supported charity in Amsterdam.
He was killed by the 'Black Death' during a business trip. His widow continued his business as one of the wealthiest women in the world, though on paper her brother was the 'official' caretaker.
It's fair to say that much of the economic activity simply moved from hotspot Antwerp to the North, still most of the growth of Amsterdam were people from elsewhere in the Dutch Republic because it was a boomtown.
The VOC was not just a rich merchant's thing, it was also a nationalistic enterprise for this first and fresh nation state that had just found solid territory since Nieuwpoort. It was a combined trade/war enterprise and shares were sold through offices over several cities and many shares were bought by middle class people, craftsmen and even maids.
That also explains in part the need for a stock exchange. The VOC decided it could and wanted to grow much bigger than it's initial plan to rob some Portugese trading routes and ship in some silk. It needed money to grow so it hardly payed any dividend in the first 30 years of it's existence, but reinvested it's profits. With people being able to cash in on their shares through the stock exchange and sell them to the more patient who could wait on bigger profits in the future, the pressure to pay dividend was relieved.
It didn't grow as big as Hilbert claims though, he mixes up the Dutch Merchant fleet with the VOC but the VOC was only a tiny part of the entire Dutch merchant fleet, just like the Euro-Asian trade with it's one year journey's was only a tiny part of the European trade which was dominated by the Dutch. Culturally it was very important because it opened a world to the Dutch minds but in terms of turnover and profit, the entire VOC at it's height including it's trade within Asia (the majority of it's trade was within Asia) didn't even match the herring fishery. The big money came from the big boring trade in big bulky goods in the Baltic, North and later Mediterranean seas.
The Dutch paid a heavy price for Dunkirk, as would the Canadians centuries later. Love the video, especially the proper pronunciation of the Dutch cities with an authentic accent. There isn't much Dutch history taught in Canada. Mostly Canadian, American and English history are taught. The Dutch are usually mentioned for, 1)The hand over of New Amsterdam 2)The Boer Republics 3)the liberation of the Netherlands in 1945. Thank you so much for such an enlightening video.

Spain didn't just fight the Netherlands. Spanish forces were stretched thin fighting France, the Ottoman Empire, German Protestants, Denmark, England, Sweden, rebels in the Iberian Peninsula itself, and various Italian states. Not to mention pirates, Native Americans, North Africans and probably a couple of others I missed. If Spain could bring anywhere near its full power to bear on the Dutch, the war would have ended in Spanish victory very quickly.
Well during those 80 years the Dutch weren't fighting the Spanish only. Including some conflicts that almost lead to civil war. It was just a really turbulent time back then
The netherland weren't fighting any power back to then. Spain was about to utterly smash rebels twice but war against powers such as the Ottoman Empire brought about economical issues.
To say that the Dutch were engaged in war with other countries in a similar way as Spain is misleading. The Dutch were nowhere as involved in global wars as Spain. For the most part, the Dutch simply joined Spain's enemies, nothing else.
Sssshhhh we were told in high-school history books to glorify this period, don't tell everyone here how things really happened
We are the oh so brave Dutch people
The same people who managed to stop the march of the Nazi's for an incredible 5 days (this is actually glorified in our history books) with mega advanced military equipment such as road barricades made up with bikes stacked on top of each other
dude, in high-school they reached us that the Spain were occupied with a lot of war at the time. Still the Spain had so much more power that the dutch resistance is still quite admirable. And wtf are you talking about with the 2 world war. Our policy in that time was to be neutral. If the germans attack with such a greater force, how are we expected to defend ourselves. Also we holded the German lines quite well, (were were going to lose tho) but the bombardment of Rotterdam and the threat of bombing Arnhem, Utrecht and Amsterdam was enough (since our Air Force was non-existence). So please don't be so smug and ignorant
Awesome video! I would luv to hear more about the 80 Years' War ... or where to get in-depth, but easy-to-digest, info on this subject. Excited I found this excellent channel! I think some binge viewing is about to start ...

The Color Orange > Spanish Empire
Z! love your vids :D
wow your here!
haha When he cuts unexpectedly to the anthem it always gives me a chuckle.
The Color Orange (the Dutch Empire) + The rising British Kingdom (the British Empire) + The Swiss Confederation + Half of the Holy Roman Empire + The Balcan Border of the Ottoman Empire = The Spanish Empire (equal, not greater, because the allies didn't conquer Spain)
Marcos Agustín Ferreyra literally none of the nations you named except maybe the english had any non-negligible effect of the war. And the 80 years war was a dutch victory, if you judge which party was the winner based on if one of the two countries completely conquered the other nation then the nazi invasion on france was aslo a tie.
Really enjoying it man. There are hardly any good documentaries about the Eighty Years War, let alone movies/tv shows.
I really like you used the Spanish names for several things. When I teach my Dutch pupils about the "Tachtigjarige Oorlog" also known as "De Opstand" (The Uprising) there are only the Dutch names, as for the perspective. When I was young it was taught to me as a heroic tale between good versus evil but the Dutch being brave and all. I remember being so fascinated by it. Later I learned it was much more nuanced. Until WW II the Eighty Years' War was THE conflict that was taught in school as the most important conflict of the Netherlands. In a way it still is, although WW II took over because of its massive destruction as well as the fact it is much more recent.
One funny fact I always share is that when I was in the 7th grade (10/11 years old) and or teacher taught us about the Eighty Years' War one pupils asked: 'teacher, what was it like to experience this war?" We had no sense of time back then I guess.
As a Spaniard, it's interesting to see how the dutch are taught that war. Here in Spain, we are basically taught that it was mostly a foreign conflict that we got carried into because of the Habsburgs (and that it consumed all the money that came from America). The most common opinion here is "why tf were we fighting for that shitty piece of land????"
@@Solon_2The Low Countries counted 1/3 of the economy of the Spanish Empire. The Dutch rebellion bankrupted Spain. Losing the silverfleet to Piet Hein didn't help either.

There is one more event that deserves coverage...1672, aka: The year the dutch ate their prime minister
He will probably cover it during the Anglo-Dutch wars.
Tophat Pirate In 1672 we didn't had a king. Johan de Witt was a sort of techocratic president. Like any intellectual he lost sense with reality (he forgot the army and didn't understand the people wanted a big leader like a king) and that's why the Dutch ate him.
Koninkrijk der Nederlanden mate. I didn't call him the king. I called him the prime minister. I know things.

I love listening to the Dutch national anthem. I love listening to Hilbert talk about the history of the Netherlands. (My mother's maiden name is Hilbert). It's great hearing the history from a proud Dutchman and this is coming from a Latino. Though I don't share his national identity, i respect it greatly and it's not seen often anymore in this PC world we live in
that's nice and cool to hear.
Thanks you so much History with Hilbert for this wonderful video.

it is just i little bit diffrent from the rest dso it stands out
but at about 11:07 it is really hard to understand again. all in all, great info, but for a documentary this long, the pictures should continue to clarify what you are saying, its hard to follow, also because the audio isn't top notch (equalization), it's OK, but for half an hour...hm.
Wow. Amazing you’re able to produce so much content so fast! I mean, 28 minutes long. That’s a lot.

Speaking of videos on visiting historically significant sites, I'd love to see tones of videos on Castles, forts, and archeological sites in the UK and BeNeLux much in the manner that you did in some of your older videos.
You should Talk about the Battle of empel, where a 4000 strong sourrounded spanish force captured 200 dutch ships
Interesting, you do know only around 100 ships were there right? Also this was 100% pure luck, they were surrounded and had zero chance. But in a freak weather event the night was very cold and the flooded waters around them froze, allowing the spanish soldiers to mount an attack on the ships. Extremely, extremely lucky. Very cool of course, and for good reason called a 'miracle' by the spanish themselves (who well knew this was not really something they could have expected, planned or wished for even).

Charles´ Mother did give Spain (Castille and Aragon´s crowns). His father´s mother did give Flandes.

Actually most of the forts in the Netherlands that still exist are fortifications that were build in the 80 years war, but were modified beyond recognition quite intensely in the period the French ruled the Netherlands. Of the fortifications at Naarden that you mention for example, most of it you can still see is built in the 19 th century.
I can't find a way to give a compliment without making it sound backhanded for the purpose of requesting something (still, great videos) but now that the VOC is mentioned I'd be really interested in their exploits (I guess especially in Indonesia, being Indonesian myself)
That's fair enough, I'll do my best to make some more videos on that topic when I can :)
Kerstkrans Ya-Mian Not much has changed, multinationals like Apple, Shell and several clothing companies still exploit the poor in developing nations. Also not all of Indonesia suffered under the VOC. Islands like Bali managed to stay mostly independent. In that sense the Dutch were a very soft colonial power allowing the natives to keep their religion and culture.
Ek stem, doen asseblief die VOC!
@@historywithhilbert146 I appreciate the video but I think you mixed up the VOC with the entire Dutch merchant fleet when it comes to size. The VOC only had the monopoly beyond the Cape, European trade was much much bigger and dominated by individual Dutch merchants ans small merchant companies.
I also believe you don't do the Act of Abjuration justice. It is true that they went looking for a new monarch at first, but it declared the people's sovereignty, natural law (inalienable rights), freedom of conscience, it denounced the divine right of kings and declared the right of the people to remove a tyrant.
Since all the European kings and nobility were in it together and mostly connected, none of them were keen on accepting the throne and therefore accepting and legitimizing what would be effectively a constitutional, parliamentary monarchy. It was a break up with the absolute, divine monarchy and that was the only kind of monarchy around at that time.
I love these video's, done really well!
I do wonder: where are you from? Your accents are practically flawless!
Prachtig verwoord. En naast een perfecte Engelse uitspraak, is ook je Nederland én Fries niet te versmaden. Goed bezig Hilbert.

Well that explains the Dutch siding with the Shogunate to drive the a Portuguese and Catholics out of Southern Japan. I mean, apart from the shiny trading post of Dejima in Nagasaki. Still there if you happen to be interested in Dutch (VOC) history and bizarre Japanese-European fusion desserts.
Actually it had nothing to do with them being Catholic.
The Dutch were actually sympathetic but did not want to lose trading rights.
This is common knowledge.
@@philliphapsburg8575 ??? That's not true, Filip of France tried to make the Netherlands, Belgium and France one big country, with him as the leader, but he didn't allow multiple religions, which lead to the "beeldenstorm" where the rich would destroy churches, steal their riches. Filip didn't like this, so he called the Spanish general Alva, who went to kill or punish anyone who was involved in the incident, tho, northern Belgium and the Netherlands blocked themselves off, even shutting down the Schelde which was awful for the South (Spain)'s economy, that also caused the north to experience the "gouden eeuw" in which their economy thrived, 80 years later, in 1648... Spain and De Verenigde Provinciën (Netherlands, Belgium) made peace.
the Dutch didn't settle in Asia to spread Protestantism- by the time they started colonizing they were not motivated by religion but by money. The Portuguese (Jesuits in particular) were openly preaching Catholicism and eventually made the Shogun unhappy, leading to the massacres in Nagasaki and expelling the Portuguese. The Dutch were just there for the money and kept to Dejima and Nagasaki, so the Shogun let them stay there. It is well known for being the only place the free Dutch flag was flown during the Napoleonic Wars.
The dealings of the Dutch with the British in the Americas also showed that religion meant very little; it was all business in New Amsterdam, Suriname and the east coast.
and sorry, i think its accually DE bloedraad instead of het bloedraad #Hilbertmoetzijnlidwoordennogleren
Wellicht oud-nederlands? In modern Nederlands heb je natuurlijk gelijk.
@@Dennizzz119 no on old dutch it would be
"die bloedraad"
zekers
den bloedraad
Misschien dat de Friezen "het" zeggen ipv "de"
Smashing good video ! More please.
Wow. Very informative. Great on the spanish enunciation by the way.

Dwight David Eisenhower more like "De koning van Spanje heb ik altijd geminacht". William of orange was a liar and a heretic, he never honored the King of Spain, he always despised him, that's why he lied and make propaganda against him and gain power over the Netherlands for his own selfish goals.

Charles was Mary’s grandson. His mother was Joanna of Castille and Aragon.
Thanks. I enjoyed your video.
nice work young man, greetings from Amersfoort
While the 30 Years War is a cool topic, I want a video on the 4th Anglo Dutch War.
The Anglo-Dutch Sea Wars are definitely going to have videos made about them!
I'm partial to the 4th one because it was part of the wider network of conflicts surrounding the American Revolution, which was my history concentration in college.
Just an extension of the American Revolution.
NO THANKS LOL :D We only count 3 english sea wars.
Job Vermeeren we hadden 6 engels-nederlandse oorlogen..
Spain is awesome.
Agree
Bruh they didn't do shit, they were called by the french monarch Filip, as revenge because people from The Verenigde Provinciën (Northern Belgium,The Netherlands) performed the "beeldenstorm" Alva was called to punish everyone that participated in it... They got screwed over cuz the VP shut down a Belgian river (Schelde) and 80 years later they gave up and it was peace
This was really good. It's an intresting conflict and as it lasted for so long there is a lot of interesting history. In hindsight I would of enjoyed this project spread across a series of videos 12-20mins long.
The format of this video does come off as a long chronological list of events and breaking it into a series would of given the chance to develop the storytelling side of history by digging into and fleshing about certain charcters or cultral events. Or looking into particular battles, weapons or tactics.
Maybe there is another couple of videos that could be made on this War.
I bet we had this in school, but i forgot (i'm 48 now) how it all went.
Bedankt, Hilbert ! Great job on this important piece of History.
My family ended up in the New World Dutch colonies even though very English Norman stock...we beheaded a king in the 1600s and were forced to flee when his son took over. Went to the Netherlands and then to New Amsterdam which is now NY City.
Charles V inherited The Low Countries trough his father, Filips de Schone.
The mother of Charles was Johanna of Castilië.
Maria of Bourgondy was his Grand-Mother. The mother of Filips de Schone.
Just a minor correction.
Glad someone pointed this out
And his grandpa was Maximilian I of Austria (Habsburgian) Emperor of the HRE. Married to Maria.
Zoals altijd een fantastische video. Een kleine tip, ik denk dat het helpt als je ietsje langszamer spreekt, zowel voor je eigen stem als voor het volgen van de video :)
thanks for making this one video

Nick dB Hup Holland! 🇳🇱
Wat is dit voor Angelsaksisch gebrabbel.
At least the English are willing to stand up for their country and at least twice came to our rescue rather than giving up everything fought so hard for. The corrupt EU you are a fan of, is worse than the Spanish ever were so time to throw them out!

Very good reproduction of the black legend... once again.
Love this video - very much mirrors my family's heritage which went from being in Antwerp in the 1560s to Rotterdam in the 1640s
Many years later this video is still a masterpiece in UA-cam History! Lang leve Nederland!🇳🇱🇳🇱
11:36 Hey, I live in Douai... That's all (wait you expected something ?)
Anyway great video, congrats from Douai, France ;-)
Oh god, again France get out that's a fight doesn't concern you xD
(Serieusement nous Ies WaIIons on va finir par brûIer Paris et voIer Ies "Hauts-de-France" :') )
Cela ne concerne pas la France mais cela concerne Douai, ville de Rimbaud X-) Quant à l'annexion, tant qu'on peut continuer à dire soixante-dix, quatre-vingts, quatre-vingt-dix, ça me va
Et je déteste le nom "hauts de France" 😂
Ouais, on pourrait penser à Ie nom d'une zone sur WoW
Charles the fifth's mother was actually Juana (AKA Joanna)princess of Castile Charles inherited the German possessions from his father Phillip the fair and Spain (Castile and Aragon) from his maternal grandparents Isabella of Castile and Ferdinand of Aragon who were in my opinion two of the best monarchs of all time and Isabella was certainly the greatest female monarch of all time.
Not the German possessions, the Bourgundian Netherlands possessions at that time (The low countries). His father Maximilian still was Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire. Filips the Fair never became Emperor, he died very young. Charles V got the german possessions as he was elected as Emperor through the work of his grandfather, Maxililian.
De Regelaar of course what I meant was that the succesion of the low countries was as if Phillip became king and then died and it was passed to Charles.
Oke mate. Too bad he died too young, i think it would have made a difference in all the troubles ahead with Charles V and Phillips II.
De Regelaar True but unfortunately Phillip was kind of a dick to his wife Juana and mother in law Isabella.So I'm not sure if he would be that great of a ruler if he was vain enough to forsake his wife the (eventual) crown princess of Castile and Aragon .
It was love on first sight though, they married on the street in Lier and consumed their marriage before they married again officially the day after. Later it all went wrong :).
However you dont have to be a good husband to be a good ruler for your people. He was king of Castille for three months when he "died".
Thank god for this!!!!! Edexcel A-level History is actual tortureeeee
heeeele kleine verbetering, het is Johan van Olden barne velt i.p.v. Olden baren velt. Verder was het echt een van je beste video's! Ik heb in ieder geval een half uur lang genoten!
Don't forget that Gelre was dividend after the 80 years war. Opper-Gelre became Spanish.
I am from the city of Zutphen we have still a memorial for the drowned ancestors and a field still called the Spanish field we have also stil 70% of our old city walls
Prachtig. Als dit is wat ze op school leren nu, vooral zo doorgaan.
Maarre dat laatste stukje daar mocht je vroeger echt niet over praten. En jij gewoon meh boeit me niet.
Als dit een werkstuk was had ik 10+ gegeven.
Ga vooral zo door!
Pretty good video, never really knew as to why I never learnt this at school growing up. Threw me a little when your have such an English accent then also a dutch accent ha bit like my self.
Opbouwende kritiek: volgende keer even een plofkappie voor je microfoon en een beetje compressie over de geluidsband.
Bedankt voor het advies, ik ga gouw een keer zo iets op de kop tikken.
We, the Dutch, have one thing to say to you oh mighty King of Spain; Hippety Hoppety, we ain't your bloody property.
Great work explaining this one ; did you use a teleprompter :--)
Great video, aan de uitspraak te horen ook Nederlands ;) ga zo door man ;)
One of my least favorite parts of the Reformation was the rise in iconoclism resulting in the destruction of countless paintings,statues, and other works of art.
The Spanish flag was white (cross of Burgundy)
There was no "Spanish flag" at the time; each Tercio had its own, and though all of them had the Cross of Burgundy, each had a different design. White and yellow were the most popular colours.
This was a masterpiece!
Geweldige video!
Do the 30 years war. Pretty please with sugar on top. (there see, I asked nicely)
Name explain sent me!!!!

Schut de spaanse scharen!
The New Spain map is wrong remember Nuevo México, Tejas and California was part of it
Not at that point
It wouldn't be until the 17th century until Texas New Mexico and California would be attempted at Settling
@@paddyotterness not true at all
Good video overall, but you may want to check some of the sound editing. There are quite a few points in the middle around 11:00-15:00 where the lines jump forward a few seconds, as if part of the script was edited out at random. Not sure if this is a sound editing issue or a UA-cam bug, but it does break the flow of what is otherwise a fascinating narrative.
Great Video dude! what i would want to see is about the most badass dutch ever; Michiel de Ruyter the world needs to be thought about him!
I would like a video on the VOC actually having huge merchant fleet, the causes why, and where they built all the boats - I thought the netherlands does not have a whole lot of trees.
Great idea, think a Dutch Golden Age series needs to come into existence at some point!
The wood for shipbuilding mostly came from the Baltic and Scandinavia. Dutch ship designs were so efficient that large quantities could be imported at relatively low cost compared to the competition.
The Netherlands was also mostly deforested during this period. But yea, I would like to hear more about other dutch heros like Michiel de Ruyter, and Piet Hein?
@@Infyra ddi you know michiel de ruyter at 15 escaped a spanish prison and WALKED home to the netherlands?
The VOC didn't have a huge merchant fleet by Dutch standards of that time. At the height of it's power in the 17th century the VOC had 140 merchant ships. The Dutch republic at the height of it's power around the same time in the 17th century had 20.000 merchant ships sailing many seas, so the VOC wouldn't have made up more than 1% of the Dutch sea trade.
The British and Americans are obsessed with the VOC, but at no point in time it was bigger than the Dutch herring trade for example. They were just nog organized in one paramilitary megacompany, and hadn't the stock exchange invented for them. The Baltic Sea trade was much older and remained by far the most important with that travels were shorter and safer, there was not this need to spread the risks over many investors and many ships. The Dutch shipped more than half of Europe's goods at that time. No way that nutmeg and cinamon from Indonesia could make much of a difference.
The wood mostly came from the Black Forest in Germany, the Netherlands is a river delta including the Rhine. What made the difference was the invention of the cranck in 1592, turning the present windmill technology into saw mills speeding up the building of ships tremendously. The 'fluyt' design was very successful because it could carry a lot of cargo for it's size and depth, and only needed a very small crew to operate.
Oh shit, here it is.
It was only a matter of time. Wouw 28 minutes :D
btw, 4:55: _de_ bloedraad*?
Ben blij dat je het leuk vond!
First of all a great video. But you're going too fast. However that's not a problem. I played it 4 times over and believe it to be a great refresher course. The items you mentioned were not new but I forgot some of them. I left the Netherlands in 1960 and furthered my education in N.Y. city. Only the last couple years after seeing the movie The Admiral I started getting more interested in Dutch history. People like you and many more like you should be proud of what you're doing. For my part, Thank You !
Some audio editing problems Hilbert but another brilliant video
