This doesn't explain why William and the Dutch States General wanted to invade. It just explains why there wasn't much resistance to their invasion from the English population. The Dutch invaded because they couldn't afford a hostile England during the Nine Years War against France. The Anglo-French invasion of 1672 was still fresh in Dutch minds

The "we're here on invitation and only here to help" thing is a bunch of pamphlet war misinformation to cover for an straight forward invasion. Of course you will wait for an internal unrest. Allocating 1/3 of your GDP to help out a neighbour... out of the goodness of your heart, yeah right.

Honestly France and Europe during Louis XIV is way to often "France intimidates, it fails, war break out, France absolutely bodies the first guy that comes, slows down to logistics, gets attritionned into defeat, everyone comes to fight France, France ruins its economy for the 6th time this century, France wins the war anyway and gets more land, Europe gets more pissed so tries to jump France harder the next time.

Zowel de fransen als de hollanders hebben Brabant en Limburg geplunderd en misbruikt. En zowel de fransen als de hollanders hebben nooit spijt betuigd, noch financiële compensatie aangeboden. Les français et les hollandais ont pillé et abusé du Brabant et du Limbourg. Et ni les français ni les hollandais n’ont jamais exprimé de regret ni proposé de compensation financière.

Love the video. It should be mentioned though that De Witt never wanted to brake his alliance with France. He was forced into the Triple Alliance by the Orangists. He new he couldn't trust Sweden and England. Also, the Dutch Republic wasn't economically ruined. That would be caused by the Nine Years War (1688-97) and War of the Spanish Succession (1702-1713). Most parties where economically ruined by those wars. Would be cool if you covered them sometime

They weren't economically ruined, but the enormous expenses didn't help a nation that was already starting to stagnate.
@5thMilitiaАй бұрын
@@diogenes926 It didn't help, but the consequences of the Rampjaar are severely overstated. People often just ignore that the Republic suffered some 40 years of on and off conflict with France on a massive scale. The Rampjaar and Franco-Dutch War were just the start. People also don't know that the Dutch Republic was regarded as a major power until the War of the Austrian Succession in the 1740s

geloof het of niet, maar Ameland was vroeger een onafhankelijk ministaatje. Het is verbazingwekkend I know. Het was een zogenaamde vrije heerlijkheid en tijdens de tachtige jarige oorlog neutraal. Afaik werd het pas in 1704 onderdeel van Friesland
@BackgroundHistoryАй бұрын
Bedankt! Ja hij heeft gelijk, ik heb het ook al kort benoemd in mijn vorige video over Friesland in de Gouden Eeuw, maar Ameland was tot het begin van de 18e eeuw een onafhankelijke heerlijkheid binnen het Heilige Roomse Rijk en niet onderdeel van Nederland.

Moin! I just wanted to say that your videos are really great, especially your Frisian series. As an Eastfrisian it's very interesting to learn more about you guys from the west :D. Also I know that your presenting Frisian history from a "West"frisian perspective, but I was wondering if you're going to cover the Prussian annexation of Eastfrisia in 1744. In my opinion, it's kind of the event that made us truly diverge from you guys and if I remember correctly, our estates actually wanted for us to be annexed by the Netherlands instead. In any case: Greetings from your eastern cousins and Eala Frya Fresena :D

Nogal prijzig maar hopelijk beschikbaar in de plaatselijke bieb. Ga zo door!

Wat maak jij een onzin. Ik ben een export Fries, maar voel me zeer verbonden met de oorspronkelijke Friezen. Jammer dat jij de geschiedenis zodanig verdraait dat het gewoon niet meer klopt. De eerste mensen waren er al voor de laatste ijstijd, daar begint het al mee. Ooit gehoord van Doggerland?? Ohnee, en daarvoor noem jij onze huidige provincie Friesland, west-Friesland… Wat fout is! West-Friesland is het tegenwoordige Noord-Holland (de provincie). In oude tijden (paar duizend jaar geleden waren zelfs delen van Groot Britannië onderdeel van West-Friesland. Ost Friesland was het deel van het huidige Groningen (provincie) tot aan de rivier de Weser, Elbe en zelfs de Eider! (Bijna Denemarken dus! En dat heeft een reden… Ga maar onderzoeken).

Frisians went south to Switserland, you can follow the trail by typing 'friese or friesen' in Google maps and look at the names of intersections and streets, draw a line and you'll find that it's an almost straight line from Friesland to Switserland
