The Original Dutch are the Phoenicians Jacobites/Sephardic jews Isrealites, the tribe of Dan later called the Danish Hebrew Blackamoors responsible for bringing the Lion from Nubia as a symbol of Heraldly placed on shields and coats of arm representing first Black Moorish Monarchs and Black nobility households rulers of Britain and Europe, modern day brits, dutch are really the slavs serfs, ghouls, kha zars goths, vandals from eurasia, who the Moors brought into Britain and Germany as slaves/slavs servants/serfs in 6th century who reclassified themselves as white britis white europeans late 17th early 18th century. Once they conquered the Blackamoors destroyed then ursuped the Moorish world Empire erased buried and whitewashed Moorish history then renamed it the Moorish Empire the western world developed and developing world, just debris and residue of Moorish Tatatia
This is real Moorish history, that the victor the victorians will hide then tell His story which is a fable

I'd like to add that south Africa is about as far away from the equator as the Netherlands. Which is why Dutch crops worked in that region and most African and South European crops did not. They infact made South Africa habitable which other countries did try before. There was a nomad people already bit more to the north. They actually worked together with the Dutch to make it habitable. Saharan Africans came later and gained territory while fighting a war against the Dutch and the natives. Those natives did not have black skin but more olive toned. The current black skinned folk are colonists that took over South Africa. Almost nearly genociding the native population.

0: 35 - 0: 37 some small details that i noticed here:
Punching a baby for money
YOU WON’T BELIEVE IT
An obligatory James Bissonette comment
Bob Bobson
Dutch people aren’t rectangular
Eating habits of French protestants (ngl sounds interesting) and King Gustavos Adolphos’ favorite ruff fabric
YOU WILL BELIEVE IT
The Glorious Revolution
why didn’t the US nuke Tokyo (Because it was already firebombed)
and i shouldn’t have punched that baby

put all of Europe's political machinations of the 18th and 19thc into a blender, hit SPIN for 10 minutes and you get this slop; is it any wonder that soldiers sent to fight in the colonies ditched old Europe, old George, and simply disappeared into the 'new world' (I'm in NJ, most of our state is covered in what is called the Pine Barrens, and had been a refuge for defecting Hessians and English soldiers, they could hide out there unmolested for years.

The recommended videos and comments at 0: 36 are gems.
Also you have there is video titled 10 minutes English history the glorious revolution, but the last episode from that series is about the English civil war, does that mean the series will come back
I remember you made a joke in the series about wales, i don't remember the context but the punchline was that they got wleshed or walsed i am not sure.

Great Video! My life was changed by Bob Bobson, the financial guru who told to invest everything in turdcoin and underneath you'll find totally real and legitimate responses who will concur with what I say. Look him up. I promise this isn’t the most obvious financial scam you'll ever see which must work because these comments still exist.
reply

Great video as always.
One question remains though: Wouldn't they need at least a small big somewhere on the African coast as a safe harbour to make sure they could sail to Indonesia safely Or would they just use harbours of other European nations No anxieties of them ever being closed off by Britan, France or Belgium

It’s wild to think that the Dutch went from having the largest footprint in Africa during the 18th century to completely backing out right before the actual Scramble for Africa. Giving up the Gold Coast just to secure their foothold in Southeast Asia is such a plot twist in imperial history.
reply

Bruh the Dutch literally beated Britain, Spain and France. Smh. So much disinformation in this video. Lmao
Also. the Dutch took the entire south of Africa. Your entire video is incorrect and your information is wrong. Pls educate yourself first on this topic before you make a topic about this. Smh.

broadly, most of the colonies in Africa were a net negative and more a prestige activity (and corruption. yes there was wealth, but the colonizing states spent a lot for only some private individuals and companies to make profits (similar to current economic activity in the world)
reply

The Dutch should reestablish their empire, but this time, annex parts of neighbouring countries. Europe was always about long, glory-seeking great wars. Ever since Europeans pacified, they lost their glory and power.
reply

The Netherlands is a small nation. They had a large and profitable colony during the scramble for Africa in the Indonesian Archipelago. The leaders of the Netherlands probably felt no need for further expansion.

What's up with the hole in France around Avignon I didn't think Avignon was independent from France during any of the 19th century, and before that, I didn't think the French borders looked like that.
reply

Fun fact: The Dutch took the Africans in their Gold Coast colony to fight their colonial wars in Indonesia. These men, along with collaborating natives, were commonly known as londo ireng (black Dutch.

3: 42 the coloring is off here. The Dutch Republic used those colors with lighter blue as the State’s colors (Statenvlag. When the French marched in, they changed it to their dark blue (indigo.
reply

The Dutch colonized for profit not for prestige only, there was nothing to gain there since things like writing farming, the wheel and metal working where pretty much unknown there
reply

Next question: Why wasn't The Netherlands a closer ally of Great Britain -- Because the only reason the Dutch had the NEI or Surinam is that the British didn't take it from them.
reply

everyday i am proud to be dutch, we're a small country but we are more know then most countries for many reasons. some bad some good but that is how history works after all.
reply

The Dutch East Indies were also better for the Netherland's musical ambitions. The Van Halens started a colony there which would one day produce the parents of Ed and Alex.
reply

When you say the Dutch, please refer to the 1% elite responsible for this past, not the common people in the country who themselves were just surviving, without being involved
