the netherlands and Belgium are the same age.

Belgium secceeded due to tensions with the dutch taking up all administration, political and economic positions and dominating how the nation was being run. the dutch had 3 ministers for every 1 Belgian minister. 50% of the general assembly when belgians made up 62% of the population. after the Belgian revolution belgium was formed and the dutch became a shadow of its former self.

Not really accurate this video but ok. As a proud Dutch guy that grew up in NL and now lives for 2 years in Antwerp, both have their pluses and their points to develop. But the people are getting closer i believe.
You are right, but that's probably the reason why they just choose the name Nederland, because if they would refer to the kingdom it means including Caribbean places. Which is not the intention here.
@@Jeroenscheur92As Dutch we probably would choose to just call it the Netherlands and Belgium, this was clearly made by someone else. But the way chosen is the most correct way. Belgium and the Kingdom Belgium are the same. And the official name is Kingdom Belgium. And the official name of the Netherlands when excluding the Caribbean is the Netherlands.
@@siwardwoudstra1751 I disagree. And so does the title. They are comparing belgium to the netherlands not the kingdom of belgium. It is a comparison video and this makes it seem as if only one is a kingdom. Still a great video nonetheless.
Our country, The Netherlands, is bigger but not better. Its a great privilege we can discuss in the same language, Dutch, at least with Vlaanderen. Both countries should work on a better and more respectful relationship.
Sander, do you realise that there aren't any other countries in the world with a relationship like we have. We basically share everything, even police, army, healthcare,.... The Netherlands had a shortage of teachers and Flanders filled most in. Our hospitals work together, we have 1000's of Dutch people who come to Belgium for surgery, because the Netherlands has a much bigger population and often your hospitals can handle the load of people. Leaving the jokes aside, there is a huge respect between both. And yes, Belgium is perfectly imperfect, but I love my country the way it is. I just would love to see Wallonia at the level of Flanders, with less unemployment, sick leave and a better economy. It's also wrong in many ways to compare both countries, because economy wise they are totally different. Dutch people are born entrepreneurs and dare to take risks, while Belgians has a more service based economy and Belgians are more into science.

My greatgreatgrandfather was Belgian. He came from the town of Hove near Antwerpen, which explains my surname. My mother was German and I was born in Amsterdam. The Netherlands is far better organised than Belgium. As a liberal Dutch politician once said in the 70s (Wiegel); The Netherlands will also function without politicians, because the civil servants are in fact the ones keeping the country going. In Belgium a citizen can feel lucky if there is in fact a parliament after years and years of voting without any outcome. In Belgium the lifestyle has some French aspects, which makes it more loosened up. The joy of life, the wonderful food served in many restaurants, drinking beer and wine during those long, long lunches before going back to work (as in France, Spain and Italy f.e.). I live in Germany, but both Belgium as well as The Netherlands are great countries to visit and to live in. They should consider becoming one country again and combine all particular qualities. Nederium or Belderland. Take your pick.
I'm Belgian. We really should become one country again. Also with Luxembourg, since that's how it was originally. I'm really curious how that's gonna be actually but I think I'll like it.
@@emmavandriessche8713 I’m Dutch and also really like this idea. We’ll be way more competitive on the world stage. Only problem would be the cultural differences, but in my eyes that doesn’t even have to be a problem since both countries have a lot of immigrants already with different cultures.
NL better organized? Well some things are better organized in NL but others are better in Belgium (for example no waiting lists in the excellent health care system, huge pharmaceutical industry, just to name a few). Both countries have their strong points.

The relation between both is very unique. I don't think there are two other countries in the world this close. We have the best neighbors in the world. Our Dutch brothers, our little Luxembourg, our big French and German sisters. Belgium is like the little cute messy sister. She can work on your nerves very well, but you wouldn't want to miss her. 😂
Zelfs als ze de helft van de tijd ruzie maken
Maybe Switzerland 🇨🇭 and Liechtenstein 🇱🇮
Beding Dutch, I love Belgian people. We have more in comen then we realise.
Also i think the Dutch and Belgian provinces of Braband and Limburg are a true example of the same people with a lot of simmilarities
Brabant and Limburg are both in the Netherlands bro
@@shithead223 No bro,
Both countries have provinces with the same name: there is Noord-Brabant (in The Netherlands), there is Nederlands-Limburg (also in The Netherlands). There is Brabant (Flemish and Walloon in Belgium) and there is Limburg (also in Belgium).
@@saitakai4904 Thx Saita, Some people comment before knowing facts hahaha.
As a Belgian we don't have issues with the Dutch. There are many simularities but there is a big difference in mentality.
Can u truly use the term of a Belgian mentality caus i think such a thing is non existant since there is a true differance in walonian and flemish people. ( like in NL we have this differance down and above the river rhine where beneath it its more bourgondic like in flemish belgium then above the river)
@@ricardobrands9736 You have a point. Flemish mentality is different from Dutch. Thats why recent proposal from Politics to make Holland and Flemish One State is impossible.
@@124php I agree. We are a much better squad as closely related allies then forced marriage! :D
@@ricardobrands9736 leave them be. Nobody really wanted Belgium anyways. Even the Belgians dont want Belgium... they want to be Flanders or Wallonians...

Its a bit of a silly comparison as bellgium ,netherlands and luxembourg all where part of the same empires and even same country .
They are even a benelux union now . and most is integrated they even have a combined military .
we dont have a combined military.. we work together but thats something completely different

They dont really compare, The netherlands vastly outclasses belgium on all fronts.

Except for the, belgium beer and mayonnaise vastly outclasses the whole netherlands.. - from a guy that is from the netherlands
@@noahhuveneers1602 Mayonaise? Why, because you dont know the difference between mayonaise and "frietsaus"?
@@maozedong44 no, because i have taste buts, you clearly dont.
0:37 Netherlands is also a Kingdom , Koninkrijk der Nederlanden (even includes multiple countries).
You are right, but that's probably the reason why they just choose the name Nederland, because if they would refer to the kingdom it means including Caribbean places. Which is not the intention here.
@@siwardwoudstra1751 then why even mention that Belgium is a kingdom? Its a comparison video afterall.
@@Jeroenscheur92As Dutch we probably would choose to just call it the Netherlands and Belgium, this was clearly made by someone else. But the way chosen is the most correct way. Belgium and the Kingdom Belgium are the same. And the official name is Kingdom Belgium. And the official name of the Netherlands when excluding the Caribbean is the Netherlands.
@@siwardwoudstra1751 I disagree. And so does the title. They are comparing belgium to the netherlands not the kingdom of belgium. It is a comparison video and this makes it seem as if only one is a kingdom. Still a great video nonetheless.
This is one of the best video that I’ve seen about our country, from the Netherlands 🇳🇱
Belgium is à fédéral State divided in 3 regio’s,speaking three national languages.. your presentation is totally wrong.
why?
Our country, The Netherlands, is bigger but not better. Its a great privilege we can discuss in the same language, Dutch, at least with Vlaanderen. Both countries should work on a better and more respectful relationship.
Belgium is a failled country. Netherlands not
Sander, do you realise that there aren't any other countries in the world with a relationship like we have. We basically share everything, even police, army, healthcare,.... The Netherlands had a shortage of teachers and Flanders filled most in. Our hospitals work together, we have 1000's of Dutch people who come to Belgium for surgery, because the Netherlands has a much bigger population and often your hospitals can handle the load of people. Leaving the jokes aside, there is a huge respect between both. And yes, Belgium is perfectly imperfect, but I love my country the way it is. I just would love to see Wallonia at the level of Flanders, with less unemployment, sick leave and a better economy. It's also wrong in many ways to compare both countries, because economy wise they are totally different. Dutch people are born entrepreneurs and dare to take risks, while Belgians has a more service based economy and Belgians are more into science.
Support Netherlands from Turkey🇹🇷❤️🇳🇱

So The Netherlands and Belgium are basically the same, but The Netherlands is just a bit better

My greatgreatgrandfather was Belgian. He came from the town of Hove near Antwerpen, which explains my surname. My mother was German and I was born in Amsterdam. The Netherlands is far better organised than Belgium. As a liberal Dutch politician once said in the 70s (Wiegel); The Netherlands will also function without politicians, because the civil servants are in fact the ones keeping the country going. In Belgium a citizen can feel lucky if there is in fact a parliament after years and years of voting without any outcome. In Belgium the lifestyle has some French aspects, which makes it more loosened up. The joy of life, the wonderful food served in many restaurants, drinking beer and wine during those long, long lunches before going back to work (as in France, Spain and Italy f.e.). I live in Germany, but both Belgium as well as The Netherlands are great countries to visit and to live in. They should consider becoming one country again and combine all particular qualities. Nederium or Belderland. Take your pick.
ur greatgreatgrandfather 💀
I'm Belgian. We really should become one country again. Also with Luxembourg, since that's how it was originally. I'm really curious how that's gonna be actually but I think I'll like it.
@@emmavandriessche8713 I’m Dutch and also really like this idea. We’ll be way more competitive on the world stage. Only problem would be the cultural differences, but in my eyes that doesn’t even have to be a problem since both countries have a lot of immigrants already with different cultures.
NL better organized? Well some things are better organized in NL but others are better in Belgium (for example no waiting lists in the excellent health care system, huge pharmaceutical industry, just to name a few). Both countries have their strong points.
I live in Hove hehe
