Have not lived in the Netherlands for 50 years . But I still have Dutch blood in my vains, and it always will
so the windmill is basically the first power tool
The sawmill was the first industrial revolution, because not only ships could be build much faster, also houses and even windmills to produce even more.
Dutch wood buyers would go to Norway and Sweden and inspect a forest, and would say: We take the lot, for this price.
That is why the Dutch got their wood even cheaper than the Norwegian or Swedish buyers.
In massive rafts it was taken to the Netherlands, mainly Zaandam, where a lot of sawmills were.
The wood stayed in the water for a full year to get the sticky resin out (sugar based) so the saws would not be blocked.
In England men used fresh wood and handsaws!
The demand for timber in the booming economy of the Netherlands was so high that there was no waste. Everything that was unsuited for ships was used for other purposes.
The biggest changes of the sawmill was the crankshaft and yes, a Dutch miller invented the crankshaft! 😉😁✌🏼
Excellent channel, excellent reaction!
And no, his pronounciation of Dutch names is just phonetically English American ^_^
Tip for when you come visiting The Netherlands, visit The National Maritime Museum in Amsterdam.
And don't forget the Batavia in Lelystad
Every time I see the name of the National Maritime Museum in English my mind goes: "Without glorious Dutch maritime prowess, there would be no Facebook"
From the English commercial for the Museum: /watch?v=b7ZizDguxJA
If you want to watch a Beautiful dutch movie about our hero "dutch grand admiral Michiel de ruyter" I could send it to you. I believe the english version is called: admiral
The reason why the Dutch paid less for timber, tar and iron ore than the Norwegians (and Swedes) is that Dutch merchants bought land in
Scandinavia. There is a book in Dutch that is the Quote 250 of the Dutch Republic. One of these guys, named Loius de Geer and worth 1,5 million guilders in the Dutch Republic alone, owned half of Sweden.
The Dutch did this again in the 1900's.. ships known as coasters, are also of Dutch origin, just heavy enough to steam and later diesel themselves across the seas and oceans, these ships could also reach river harbours and inland harbours. having only 2 metres of deptth
HIS voice is awesome
A Krukas is also invented by Al-Jazari, a inventor in the 13e century in Irak. In the Netherlands it was invented for the windmill round 1594 by Cornelis Corneliszoon van Uitgeest. His drawings still exist. A lot of the windmils still working.
Somebody else would have invented it. the things are just to usefull not to be invented at some point.
@@arturobianco848 Thanks. You right i look it up and chanced my command.
He missed out on Baruch Spinoza.
you forgot to mention the dudes dashing bow-tie! :)
oh nvmd
@@farkstein1213 LOL...I was going to say, wait for it...
The Dutch - Norwegian timber trade, I have found traces from that here in Norway. I metal detect, and have found rare, huge Dutch silver coins near the coast where there were known timberyards in the 1500-1700´s. Great history video! I watch a lot of these and there are many fabulous independent history channels on youtube.
That's awesome
I'd love to own one of those coins.
Ahh that's great, I lost that coin a *while* back. Could I have it back now?😂
One of the best informative documentaries i've ever seen. I knew quite a lot of the marine warefare in the golden age, but this is incredibly eyeopening on the basic economic and social side. It's just astonishing that such a comparatively small country could give such a big footmark in history. The "Paltrokmolen" is an invention which is totally huge and can absolutely not be underrated. It's clear that the combination of immigration, relative freedom of religion and the surge for making money out of everything made sure that this small republic could be so succesfull on every part of civil development.
Wow, this guy is simply brilliant! Wish that this man was my history professor at high school. As a history guy myself, I can confirm that this video was 100% correct. Some of these paintings do belong to the Rijksmuseum. But the ‘Girl with the pearl earring’ by Vermeer, can be seen in the Mauritshuis Museum in The Hague. Probably the museum with the second greatest art collection in the Netherlands.
If you want to know more about the Batavia story, there is a UA-cam channel called 'Defragged History'.
Tells the story in detail and with a touch of humor. Has other topics too. Like the sinking of the Kursk and the 80 years war.
At 21:56 min.: The modern world was invented in The Netherlands: Please read 'How the Old World Ended' (published 2020) by Jonathan Scott! The story of The Netherlands, England and the United States.
with the sinking of the batavia and the killing of the crew it was australia´s first mass murder
Afterburner:
@12:40 You've got your answer on how the Dutch were able to build their ships much, much faster than everyone else.😁
For me it's also a feasible thought that this was the inspiration for the invention of the combustion engine. It's just turning the process around...🤔 💡
..another Dutch invention in ship building goes to 1900's the "Coaster" seaworht vessels, also able to go up rivers, canals and so..inland harbours. My grandfather owned a coaster, he bought it secondhand and renamed it, the ( when you see it, you think.. what the actual f..who goes with that aros the Atlantic) coaster Unie-E he renamed it LEA, the vessel went in 1950 in 4 weeks non stop with a crew of 5 from Netherlands to New Orleans, and did charterwork between there and Miami, later included Havanna, it motorred back acros the Atlantic with Hadj pilgrims to Saudi Arabia, latrer it was chartered by Chines to sail betweeen Indonesia and Kuala Lumpur and later the Chinese wanted it to go to Chinese harbours aswell. On their way to Jakarta the encountered a massive Norwegian freighter stuck on a coral reef near the Cayman Islands, and the little Dutch coaster with its mere 6,5 feet depth it could reach the freighter and in two weeks sailing on and off to colomco and back to the freighter lifting it by hauling its cargo and returning water and food, they managed to get it free. It didn't went on to China, but returned to The Netherlenads, where my Gradfather bought it in 1952. And sailed it until 1972 when it was scrapped due to the economics, own captain ships wheren't reliable anymore, just ships owned by large companies could keep their heads above water.
Very nice video…learning about my own history as a Dutchie :)
Thats nuts thats grazy oh yes thats Dutch 🤣
At 9:00 min.: De Verenigde Oostindische Compagnie (VOC), or The United East India Company, or as the British would call it, The 'Dutch' East India Company, was, and still is, the most valued and first multinational company in world history, with a value, in today's terms, of 21 trillion dollars. No contemporary company comes even close!
The Fluit (Fluyt) was specifically designed for trading with the baltic sea and the east sea. Taxes there were based on the surface deck area of the ship. By having to pay lower taxes, they could further trade more efficiently. One of the thing they traded in was timber. Gotta build ships somehow, right? And how did they get better rates than the locals? Buy buying whole forests at a time.
I think this video, or some other, put it best. Britain and The Netherlands had a totally different approach. The British were colonialists. They sent colonists and soldiers to found settlements, often displacing natives. They sent their own trappers and farmers to harvest the riches. The Dutch did plenty of that as well, but the focus was on mercantilism. Establishing trade posts and embassies and letting the locals get on with the hunting, harvesting or whatever was needed, and buying the produce. It made sense. The Netherlands didn't have the population to spare to establish colonies, the Brits did, nor to provide soldiers for protection. Even the Dutch army consisted mostly of mercenaries from Switzerland, Italy and the German city-states to name but a few. Mercenaries didn't care about your religion as long as you paid well, and that was fine by the Dutch who didn't care about your religion either and paid extremely well.
In the end, colonialism won over mercantilism. The British could send armies overseas, something the Dutch struggled with. Corruption had also started to run rampant in the higher classes. Military officer positions were bought instead of earned, sometimes given to children so their father could pocket the money. The Dutch Republic, where even a kitchen maid could buy a share in a merchantman heading for the spice lands in the far east, collapsed. It didn't disappear. The East and West Indies still had Dutch colonies in them and ships kept coming with exotic spices, fruits, tobacco and more. But it never had much, if any, influence in the world or Europe after that. Even now. The Dutch like to think of themselves as very important, a small nation just below the big players. We're not. Should The Netherlands be taken back by the seas, something more likely day by day, the rest of the world would barely notice. The port of Rotterdam would be missed. That's about it.
i am Dutch and i even i am learning!
At 19:26 min.: Thomas Edison's ancestors from his father's side came from the Dutch province of Zeeland. You know, like New Zealand!
it's almost funny to see that is all started with a few music-clips
Great vid, thanks for promoting the history of my country. I like how respectful you are for th eoriginal creators. Keep 'em coming !
The story about the Batavia.Big story.The first in Australia.
Hey Highly
Love this guy as well. And love watching you watch him. Your comments are very interesting.
I also wanted to let you know that you have become one of my top five reactors.
You're content interesting. You're interesting. You talk to us like we're in the room with you rather than the camera.
As far as singing goes I only watch Voiceplay, Geoff and Pattycake Productions. Because of you in now watching Dutch videos and Fail Army videos with you.
I watch Alot of reactors. Takes Alot to get in my top ten. And more in my top five.
Congrats. 🎉
Love ya Highly💖
You should check out, the history guy's video about the dutch raid on the medway ( anglo dutch wars)
I'm glad you discovered The History Guy...he covers a lot of interesting and mostly forgotten history.
I do t understand the forgotten part everything is books, on wiki and most of not all is coveted on YT on other documentaries. besides in school you get history lessons so I think that part depends on the country you live in.
@@eindbaaz3815 I guess schools just cover what somebody determines is the big, important events. But the History Guy goes to places I never even knew existed, but give us information about a different time and often small actions that have contributed to the world we know.
@@xbubblehead in all fairness Europe has a shit load of history so its kinda hard to know everything right. so it's only logic you hear of the bigger things. to know/hear/read/learn just about all of Dutch history alone you need a lifetime.
He certainly knows what he is talking about, unlike many English video's on Dutch history. But numbers get a bit vague that far back in time and are often off 10 times off between different sources. He said a 1000 ships a year were build which is most likely correct because that's easy to estimate based on records and remains of shipyards, he also said the Dutch merchant fleet was 2000 ships. But ships tended to last 20 years, the VOC ships to the East-Indies a bit shorter. So 20.000 ships is much more likely, also based on the estimate of an English report of that time which claimed the Dutch merchant fleet to be at least 25.000 ships. That number would also explain the wealth of the Dutch Republic much better.
correct 20k is the correct number. But he is wrong with the warships after the first war the Dutch decide to make real warships and the second and third war went to the Dutch. But the inviasion of England is the end of the replublic as the trade centre went from Amsterdam to London.
@@onsterfelijke Indeed, the Glorious Revolution is both the crown achievement of the Superpower status of the Dutch Republic as well as the start of it's demise. The Spanish Succession War can't be understated either. It had cost so much money it probably is the catalyst for the end of the Golden Age and the start of the Silver Age, and once again it was to help England.
@@Sanderos25 The Dutch capital went to London too, a huge chunck of the shareholders of the British Empire were Dutch, the Dutch just shifted their money. So the Dutch Republic fell victim to the capitalism it had invented, the fact that money moved to the highest ROI, across borders and the Channel. It also turned the Dutch economy in one of rentiers and those aren't productive people.
But if you're far ahead you're going to get caught up with, and if the ones who are catching up are 5 or 10 or even more times bigger, the end of primacy is inevitable.
@@onsterfelijke Stadhouder Willem III ,die ook koning van Engeland werd, luidde het begin van het verval van de Nederlanden in, door zijn aandacht meer op Engeland te richten, en uit hun impasse bracht, waardoor hij de Nederlanden heeft verwaarloosd? Of speelde hier nog een belangrijke rol in mee dat zijn hart toch meer in Duitsland ,het land waar zijn familie vandaan komt, lag?🤔
This guy really got my respect. Finnaly an american who shows interrest in the rest of the world. I started to become a subscriber on his react on a kensington di-rect combined concert. That was so pure. Go watch it if you not already did.
And I'm a hetero man. But man those eyes are beautiful. So bleu
Dutchy here and i have to say, i love ur vids. Keep going mate and when u come to the netherlands dont forget to visit the eastern areas!
watch the ASML story
I've studied history and by some coincidence I like history 🤣But I've never been intrigued in Dutch history.
But now I see you cover this it makes it alot easier to watch away , thank you for this!
Glad you enjoyed it!
You're so right, thank you! It is a video worth to be seen.🤜🤛👌
It's great to hear him telling about the real reason for the Dutch wealth in that era. It's only a pity that he doesn't actually realise it, there is no emphasis on it.
Even in The Netherlands, there is a consensus that the Golden age age was powered by the VOC and the WIC. This is not the case.🤔
Both companies were funded and kept alive by the (Dutch invention again) stock-trade.
The money used was earned in the Baltic Trade, the "Mother of all trades"! That was the real Golden Age money-maker! 😳🧐
At 14:20 and onwards (about 17:30) this is explained.🧐😳😳😎
(Fun fact about the Flute and their narrow decks but bulky hulls is the Dutch answer to the toll due at the Sont, a narrow passage in the Baltic:
The flute was the main type of ship with which the Baltic Sea trade was conducted. This ship, specially designed for the Baltic Sea trade, had a convex room and a narrow deck. As a result, a relatively large amount of cargo could be transported and less sound toll had to be paid. This toll was determined on the basis of the width of the deck.🤭😁)
10:15 he fumbled the name also. 😂 But it is a very difficult name to pronounce.
That cool map is known as the Leo Belgicus btw. Names with "belg" in it referred to the whole of the lowlands. I believe it was only in 1830 when the former Spanish Netherlands (the South) split off from the Kingdom of the Netherlands again after only being reunited for 15 years that it claimed the name Belgium for only the smaller, Southern area.
If... If you are coming to the Netherlands. Pleace visit other places to. The Netherlands is more then Amsterdam. But you know that. And if you are in the Netherlands, please let us know. You got a lot of friends here bro
Is that "Catpoleon" on the wall ?
No! Napolipuss!
Maybe react to the Batavia shipwreck story. It will be the most crazy story you've heard
i am Dutch but i have no clue what this guys says using his Dutch pronunciation :D
very interesting 👍
Please react to "michiel de ruyter: one of the greatest admirals of all time
The history guy has a great video about his raid on the medway
imagine if the golden age never ended, how the world would be today
Nope it is not comparable. Look at the size of land, of the Dutch Republic vs France. Yes less people, however if we look at the density of the population, I am almost certain that we had more people per square meter, as France had at the time. Do not forget we fit easily 7 or more times in the landmass of France, even then. Well, the video answers a simple question, what other uses did/do wind mills have ?? :D
Reaction :Gái Độc Thân - TLinh
Dutch were chinese of the north
2200 ships
More cat = more likes. And fries come from Friesland....
this is a detailed recap of what happened on the Batavia.

not for a reaction, it is pretty long and 4 parts.
PLEASE REACTION : MẤY BÉ LÌ - TLINH,NAOMI,YENJI❤
krukas
so first spain for 80 years, then england, then england and france, and some german cities, no chance for holland
This isn't about Holland. This is about The Netherlands, Holland nothing but a part of the entire country.
if it aint dutch it aint much
Yae ,bible closed ,cashbook open ! Lol!🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇
hhhhmm...2000 ships on a population of 1 million... one ship per 500 people. A ship has a crew of 35 and also (un)loaded, new ships need to be build, ship building tools materials need to be supplied, product need to be traded, repackaged..... If you take out women and children..... It seems almost the entire workforce was in shipping.
This man didn't pronounce the Dutch names correctly Highly, you certainly wouldn't have done worse! But his content is very good and interesting
13;01 we inherited..we aren't the pinnacle...there where brighter minds before us.. You seriously think/believe San Fransisco was overnight ( as wikipedia tells us) a millions people place..? People came with horse and carriage, built in 10 years stone buildings we can't build today in that same time.. the "horse and carriage" people founded it... found it... look at the earliest pictures or the famous 360 degrees all around from the tower pictures of San Fransisco.. Where is everybody, and why is the sky cut out? ...clouds didn't exist then?
spldpdppblbbullap: what a talking speed, way too fast to be able to follow what he's saying 🙃 for me as a dutch spldpdppblbbullap
10:14 Don't feel bad, he butchered that name badly. Written down phonetically for English speaking people it looks like this: Kor-nay-lee-us Kor-nails-zone. I'm not going to bother with the name of the place he's from cause it contains sounds you don't have.
He actually butchered those Dutch pronunciations, lol
Ooh wow he thinks the pronounciations are right...🤣 They are so far from what it should be.
The history man in this video didn't pronounce the names correctly at all Highly! Not even close! You certainly wouldn't have done worse!
His pronunciation aren’t that great.
