The Dutch city of Brielle has been freed from Spanish occupation for 450 years in 2022 (1572- 2022) and it has been very important for the independence of The Netherlands. In fact, without the capture of Den Briel our history and future in The Netherlands would've looked a lot different. The 80 year war against the Spanish Kingdom led to the end of the Spanish occupation of the current The Netherlands. The fight for freedom in The Netherlands wasn't as black and white as you may think.
This is only a short video of some things that happened and the facts that were (in my opinion) important to mention for this specific topic of Brielle and its importance for The Netherlands becoming a sovereign nation. Of course, the 80-year-war was a lot more than just a country being fed up and the fight against the Spanish Kingdom. Perhaps I will make separate video about the 80-year-war another time. But, the 80-year-war started in 1568 and lasted until 1648. While Brielle was freed since 1572, and many other places (especially in the Holland and Zeeland regions) joined them, Spain was able to recapture tons of land from the ‘rebels’ and The Netherlands wasn’t united at all in the fight for independence. It was not only a battle for independence between two countries, but also a cruel civil war between the Protestant and Catholic population.
Anyway, thank you so much for watching.
