This video was extremely brief and shallow, but he at least got some credits for narrating the first bit in Afrikaans. The brother of Napoleon on the Dutch throne, was Louis(Lodewijk in Dutch) Napoleon. He was very popular with his Dutch people, who gave him the nickname Louis the Good. He was married to Hortense, the daughter of Josephine. They had a son together, who would later become emperor Napoleon III. And yes, the Netherlands is culturally very similar to the Nordic countries. We are like a mix between Western & Northern Europe. And probably the most Americanized of all European nations in the EU.
Yesss! Thank you for reacting to more stuff about the Netherlands, I truly do. And hey, if you keep reacting to more stuff in the future, I as a Dutch guy, will forgive you for your ''Disneyland'' accident.
Sephardic Jews are those who settled in Muslim Spain and Portugal and later spread all around the Mediterranean and Balkans when the Reconquista happened. "Sephardic" comes from "Sepharad" which means 'Spain' in Hebrew. Today "Sephardic" is also sometimes used about Mizrahi Jews, which are Jews who stayed in the Middle East after the destruction of the second temple. "Mizrah" means 'East' in Hebrew. Sephardic Jews traditionally spoke a language called Ladino, which is very similar to 15th-century Spanish with Hebrew and Turkish/Arabic/South Slavic influences depending on where the speaker's language is from. If you know Spanish, you can easily get the gist though. Ashkenazi Jews are those who settled in Germany, Poland, and Northern Eastern Europe (Belarus, Russia, Lithuania, Hungary, Romania, Moldova, Ukraine, etc.). They are the most prominent in America and many Orthodox communities still speak Yiddish, which you might have heard about. It's where you get English words like shlong, chutzpah, schmeer, spiel and schtick from. Yiddish is similar to modern High German, but it has a lot of influence from Hebrew and various Slavic languages depending on where the speaker's language is from. Still, very intelligible for most German speakers today.
The language you hear in the beginning isn't Dutch but Suid-Afrikaans (South African), a Language derived from 16th century Dutch. With some effort the Dutch and South African Boers still can speak to each other. The English seems also to be the South African dialect. The Netherlands is NOT considered a Nordic country, which includes Denmark, Norway, Sweden, and Finland.
7:25 "How many brothers did Napoleon have?" Four. Of the three older brothers, Joseph [b. Giuseppe] became King of Naples & Sicily in 1806, then Spain in 1808 after Murat replaced him in Naples; Lucien [b. Luciano] became Prince of Camino in 1814; Louis [b. Luigi] was the one that Napoleon made King of Holland in 1806, before tiring of his unwillingness to do as he was told, and exiling him in 1810 (though Louis's son would end up ruling France as Napoleon III a few decades later). Jerome [b. Girolamo] was the younger brother, and was King of Westphalia from 1807 to 1813; he was the only one of the siblings who lived to see Napoleon III rule France, and served him as a marshal.
The Netherlands used to be the name of the whole Benelux area. It's latinized name was Belgica. It split up in 1581 because the Northern Netherlands declared independence from Spain to have religious tolerance while the Southern Netherlands bottled out of it and stayed submitted to the Spanish Inquisition. The "Republic of the Seven United Netherlands" as would be the full translation got so important that it kind of took the name "Netharlands" and "Dutch" (Diets, Deutsch as in Deutschland, Germany) for itself in English. The Southern and Northern Netherlands were only reunited for 15 years until the 'Belgians' couldn't take it any longer after being seperated for over 2 centuries. In those 2 centuries they went by the name Spanish Netherlands and later Austrian Netherlands because of their rule. When they became independent they took the latinized name for all the Netherlands while the remaining kingdom of the Netherlands in the North took the Dutch name for the Netherlands.
Eleven minutes in. The fact is that the Dutch, the Danes and the English are, in many senses, genetically, religiously and in terms linguistic and economic, brothers. We have had our little spats, but essentially we look, think and sound pretty similar. Plus herrings cheese and beer
The Netherlands are culturally a mix between the Nordic countries and Germanic countries, you are completely right. But we also have cultural influences from the English, French (we were under Napoleon's rule for a while) and Spanish (same story). We are right in the middle of everything, so it makes sense.
If you include the water, which makes sense from a trading perspective, the Netherlands is the heart of Europe. Because of it's dominance of European trade and advancements in shipping, you could also say the Netherlands made itself in the heart of Europe in the 1500's by including the water. That's also what makes it more an exporter of cultural influences towards the Nordic countries and Britain than the other way around.
I kind of agree with you on the Nordic part. I think the Netherlands is the most Nordic out of all West-European nations. But ofcourse never official, Estonia has called shotgun on that.
Hey Disneyland visitor. For me one of the worst videos regarding the history of the Netherlands. It is spoken in the South African language (old Dutch), but it is nice that you pay attention to the Netherlands.
hmm Anglo Dutch wars weren't really represented truthfully. The Dutch won quite a few of those wars, even totally annihilating the English fleet and stealing their flagship in the raid on the Medway. The stern carving of the HMS Royal Charles can still be admired in the rijksmuseum.
Terrible video actually. Not a lot of information, Not your fould. :-). Just look to ¨3 Ways Dutch Independence is Different¨ video and Dutch speech about freedom in de 17th century (English subtitled!) The Dutch where the first with freedome. The Dutch where also feared by the English. The Dutch were the inventors of a lot of things, also the marine.
Shame this video has this VOC BS again. The VOC didn't bring tremendous wealth, it was tiny compared to Dutch dominance of the European trade and even at it's peak far less profitable than the good old herring fishery. It had less than 200 merchant ships while the Dutch European merchant fleet had tens of thousands, it didn't go all over the world, what is so hard to understand about "East" or "Oost" in the name? The Dutch Golden Age was already well past it's first half when the VOC finally started paying profits. Ordinary people owning shares in it was the product of a wealthy middle class, wealthy from dominating European trade and industry, not the other way around. The VOC also didn't engage heavily in the slave trade, it's simply not true, it did a bit of slave trade on the side, that is true.
Well, I agree, except for the VOC slave trade. The VOC enslaved many in Indonesia and brought them to South-Africa. Not to mention enslavement in Indonesia and South Africa that stayed there. What is generally called "The slave trade" was primarily done by the WIC, and even that was a not a big chunck of the economy.
You make beautiful videos. But England and the Netherlands. Are historically, connected to each other. The king of the Netherlands is of German blood. Also with a large part of English blood, his great-grandmother, perhaps even great-great-grandmother. Is an Englishwoman, from the royal family of England. Mary?

Your founding fathers came from Holland. They went from England to Holland, were they lived for several years.
The Netherlands are culturally a mix between the Nordic countries and Germanic countries, you are completely right. But we also have cultural influences from the English, French (we were under Napoleon's rule for a while) and Spanish (same story).

Please watch history's uncovered video on Michiel de Ruyter. It covers the Anglo-Dutch Wars and probably the greatest European admiral ever
He has some years ago.

Are you saying there's a Disneyland video about the Netherlands, or are you saying this video is Disneyland grade stuff?
The Habsburg Netherlands were indeed under Spanish rule, although Charles V (the fifth) was born in the Dutch (now Belgian) city of Ghent.
watch defragged history :P
why? @@foetsie85
What a wonderful country
I wonder how long it takes before the ‘‘this isn't DisneyLand’’ story comes up.
I'm not sure what the language in the beginning was supposed to be, but it wasn't Dutch and neither Afrikaans ( I know both).
Amsterdam: many a night spent there and no memory of being there ever. Lovely place, so I’m told.
So you were drunk the hole time??😮😮
Always a bit sad when I only see US American and British flags in a representation of operation Market Garden on the allied side.
hmm Anglo Dutch wars weren't really represented truthfully. The Dutch won quite a few of those wars, even totally annihilating the English fleet and stealing their flagship in the raid on the Medway. The stern carving of the HMS Royal Charles can still be admired in the rijksmuseum.

As a spaniard , i miss our dutch compatriots. We should be one country again
Lol. Classic spanish idea. I am sure that most dutch will agree completely with it and won't be searching for their guns under their beds.
@@estranhokonsta Not many guns under our beds :o), but we still have the ice skates.
u look like markplier
I would like to see you react to non european stuff
Very superficial and incomplete.
