    The lowest elevation in Europe yet tallest people in the world. Welcome to the land that...MAKES its own land. The place where water is your biggest enemy and friend. Europe's interesting, meticulous, yet a little crazy and adventurous son, the #NETHERLANDS.

    As a German whose ex is a Dutch girl I’ve got to admit that the Netherlands is still my favorite country in Europe. The Dutch also have mastered combining high work ethics with an relaxed attitude that I wouldn’t have thought possible.

    • @esch4510
      @esch4510 5 років тому +172

      All jokes aside, this could actually be a plausible explanation. Dutch ancenstors used to live in huts build up high, because their lands were constantly flooding. Tall people would have survived most incidents of flooding because of their length, therefore natural selection occurs. Small evolutionary changes to humans like that can happen over the span of a few thousand years.

    • @VinyZikss
      @VinyZikss 5 років тому +81

      @@esch4510 Dude, the difference between other european countries and netherlands is around 4,5,6 cm. This is not a huge height difference to influence people's survival in a flood... The only natural selection here is the smart ones would get out and the dumb ones would stay and die.
      Also, europe as whole is tall, mostly scandinavia (like Norway, the average height there is 1.83 If i'm not mistaken) so it has nothing to do with flooding....

And if you need to go to another city, you can just use a train. So, in the Netherlands you can simply live without a car and have no troubles:)

    Hello, I just wanna share some stories about my grandfather who is a veteran and grandfather's friend who is a veteran Dutch soldier.
    He ever told me about his struggles when he was still under colonialism. at that time he was caught by the dutch army and after interrogation he was allowed to go home. when he was detained and interrogated, there was a dutch soldier, he was very nice. he brought my grandfather went home at that time. After many years of independent Indonesia, when my grandpa saw the Dutch people who are on pilgrimage at the Dutch cemetery, he talked with them in Dutch because he was fluent in Dutch. maybe at that time the Dutch army who helped my grandfather heard the news in the Netherlands so he visited Indonesia. After that they met again and they became best friends until now. The Dutch veteran also visits Indonesia every year in August to carry out the commemoration of Indonesia's independence. But now he has died. My grandfather is really sad because he has passed away. Im also sad because he was very good to my grandfather and also to me.and now my grandpa also passed away. but I'm sure they must have been happy there:').thanks for read this.always spread kindness and love

The Netherlands did not have a king until after the Napoleonic wars, where they finally decided to make the son of the last stadtholder the official king, even though the Orange-Nassau family had essentially ruled as hereditary rulers since the Willem van Oranje you mentioned in the video :)
