    Te Declaration of Indipendance has some Dutch origin too.
    Thomas Jefferson based it on de Dutch declaration of independence, the so called "Plakkaat van Verlating"(1581).
    The scratch paper on which Jefferson wrote his statement was made by the Dutch Lubbertus van Gerrevink, a famous papermaker in that time.
    The first 200 copies of the declaration were also made on Dutch paper, The watermarks in the paper show that it came from the Zaanse paper mills of Jacob Honig, D.&C. Blue and Adriaan Rogge.

    Awesome video! Sadly this part of history isn’t much talked about in Dutch history classes either. The entire 18th century is sadly a bit forgotten in the Dutch curriculum. Simply because the Dutch Golden Age was over, and the 20th century is considered a must to learn about at school. That leaves a lot of stuff to be skipped I’m afraid. This is one of the reasons why I gave up to become a history teacher. Glad that these videos exist to teach everyone about these more obscure parts of our common history! Thank you so much for sharing, and thanks again for a great reaction Highly. 👏🏻

      @captainhook5410 They should teach these important things in schools about our history. When I ask 16yo to 18yo about Michiel de Ruyter, lots of them can't tell me who he was and some can't even remember ever hearing his name before. That's just sad.

    The Dutch are the best and oldest ,,forgotten friend'' of the Americans. They now have a stronger bond with their former enemy England than with their oldest ally and friend the Dutch. Power and money attract each other more than friendship?🤨

    We did this for both team building, training at sea and to honor our navel history.

    It is because Brittish influence. The banned all Dutch history after the last war. English wrote most of what you know and left the Dutch out of it mostly.
    And English became the dominant language in your country.
    That made it hard to understand what was left to find on the history written by the Dutch.
    I believe it was something like this. I love watching this kind of history

    I agree that it's actually sad that things so important are not told in schools in the US. They have a lot less to teach as in Europe and Asia where history is many hundreds of years older and with lots more to talk about. So there's no good excuse. While visiting the US all the people I told about this part of history, they all told me they had never heard about it before.

    I am always amazed at the ignorance promoted by the American education system. The Dutch basically financed the American revolution, and the eventual Declaration of Independence had its origins in the Dutch own declaration of independence at the end of the 80-Year War against Spain. Generations of Americans have remained completely oblivious of the major impact the Dutch had on their history.
