Eighty Years' War (1619 - 1624) | 18 | Dutch History

[@DefraggedHistory]

This video has been a little bit... okay, a LOT like herding cats. Soooo many things happening at once. Enjoy!

[@JohnSmith-dq7sr]

Sometimes you need to here cats when the willy cats are fighting war across half the world.

[@rickallen8406]

I hope you'll expand this into the 30 years war.

[@DefraggedHistory]

Probably not. Unless I get tons of requests, then maybe.

[@InnerDness]

It would be a great gag if it was just a fifteen minute reading of the first paragraph under every subheading on the Wikipedia page

[@左アリ]

Netflix or HBO, give our beloved ❤️ Dutch Woman a ton of money and do a 80 years war series!!! Love this series and you, Dutch girl, I even started to learn Dutch after I discovered this channel ❤️

[@DefraggedHistory]

Bedankt! 😉

[@rosemerrynmcmillan1611]

AGREE! So inspired by her command of languages!

One of the most underrated history channels up there

[@MarcusAgrippa390]

This channel is so underrated... The almighty algorithm is dropping the ball by not promoting it more in history nerds recommended feeds. Anyway another excellent video as always and might I say... You go girl!

[@DefraggedHistory]

Thanks! It's not so much the algorithm's fault. This series has been going for almost two years now, and the viewership drops with every video. The algorithm is confused. Give it time. Once other series arrive, it should get a better idea.

[@deinemutter8999]

You just made my day! Best documentary channel on yt!!!

[@vancampbell4317]

Thanks for the episode, and for your fantastic work!

[@DefraggedHistory]

Thank you for watching!

[@maartenklaps3507]

Hier heb ik zo hard naar uitgekeken!🙌🏽🙏🏽

[@RAWDernison1]

Een uitzonderlijke serie, en nog 24 jaar te gaan. Kijk ook al uit naar voorspelde serie over Michiel de Ruijter, helemaal mijn ding.

[@ernoknollema3131]

En de serie over Nieuw Amsterdam! Wat een toekomst om naar uit te kijken.

[@lbergen001]

.. terwijl het geschiedenis is...

[@uhoh007]

Having just binged this masterpiece series to episode 18 in 10 days, my favorite stylistic touch? Your incredible rapid fire recitation of the noble titles, in their respective accents. I found you looking for background while reading How the Old World Ended, the story of the Industrial Revolution as an Anglo-Dutch-American process. IE Nederlands : The secret Mesopotamia of modern capitalism. A secret because..TLDR. Here you give us a glimpse of how that may be true. Please consider: episodes on how the Netherlands reached the incredible state of complexity when this war began....with lots of culture, low and high. And....the natural sequel of the 80 years, something bound to raise controversy and views....The Interregnum! aka The anti-Crown. Finally "resolved" with a Dutch King of England, arguably the most effective monarch in British History. Ms historical playwright: tear down those insufferable English royal tropes!!! Your scathing portrayal of Liz the first has already thrown down le gauntlet! Thank you for this new standard in historical presentation! No, I'm not learning Dutch, LOL but I did have some Pilgrim ancestors who need excuses.

[@keshavshah488]

Keep up the good work. 👍

[@manic2360]

Wonderful, Informative, Entertaining, Enthralling, Storytelling and so much more. Thank you...

[@Muldini]

A masterpiece as always, thnx!

[@TomasTemperley]

Just about to finish this series, really enjoyed it. It's amazing how well written this is and how you can make 20 episodes that are 1.30h long so digestible and fun to watch. Props on that, and keep up the good work, you've just got a new fan.

[@gerardosawaya1510]

One of the Best series i've ever seen, and i've seen a lot. Thank You very much. (counting the days For chapter 19)

[@alexanderwaite9403]

You could almost call this series how the Dutch made the modern world! Your epic war of saw it all. Never knew how much history was involved in your war of independence! Awesome series. Keep up the great work!!

[@HectorSTabora]

Your content is really good. Kudos!

[@victorheinsberg1212]

Great Series! Finally a new episode

[@MLWitteman]

Ahh yes, a new episode! Thank you 🥳

[@JohnEvert77]

:) Een nieuwe aflevering! - ga lekker luisteren. Geweldig

[@chemicalcowpoke307]

Nice Episode, I really enjoy your content!

[@lbergen001]

Thank you for yet another splendid video. 👍👍 I enjoy your way of story telling so much. Just waiting for the moment this channel takes off....en goes viral

[@richardkalmwater5996]

1:15:18 Interesting information. I needed another 2-3 sec to read it so I had to rewind.

[@Bloodknok]

Excellent stuff, as ever - so many fantastic engravings and illustrations, and things are now getting very, very interesting as events in the Holy Roman Empire start to become a factor.

[@jeremycunningham7897]

Brilliant as ever! Thanks :)

[@larsdejong7396]

And the only part we learn at school, is that de Groot escaped in that chest. Even the escape itself is way more interesting than just that. This just gives so much more detail and context to this critical part of our history. You absolutely can't focus on the war itself without the 30-years war, France's various shenaningans, England or the VOC. Let alone the political/religous side of the story. After all, war is just the pursuit of politics by different means. (Sorry for ripping of Clausewitz) The only serious point of criticism I would have at the this point, is the lack of a clear map for military sections (similar to the maps of more military focused channels). But in the end, that's really just nitpicking. The sheer amount of detail you bring to the story is fantastic, and it's a shame that it gets so few views. Many history channels who can only tell you one snippet of the whole story (and even then only by non-stop quoting of historians, since they know nothing of the subject at hand), often get 2k+ likes.

[@AndrewIsola1]

I finally made to Ep 18 !!!!! WOW

[@Rafa-pr5fe]

Hurray! She's back!

[@VersusARCH]

Please do the Anglo-Dutch wars in detail!

[@Raadpensionaris]

Maurits role in creating the circumstances for the 30 Years War is an underrated part of his legacy. The Thirty Years War was just a proxy for the Eighty Years War lol

[@staalwijk]

Great !!! New episode 👍

[@QwertiusMaximus]

LOL "I'm Groot" How long have you been waiting to use that joke?

[@DefraggedHistory]

Ever since I first introduced him. 😉

[@larsdejong7396]

IT IS I, LECL...ehhm GROOT. XD

[@danielscallon7515]

A lot happened in this episode and I expected to get lost...... I got hook, lined, sinkered, awe heck swallowed the pole, through the entire episode, and it couldn't have climaxed better. The cool, cunning Mauritz and the gallant, chivalrous Spinola cross swords again! Defragged, your history-telling is just epic. P.S. Thanks for posting where to find the music.

[@roykay4709]

Excellent series. More please/ And could you enable contributions to the cause?

[@ChevyChase301]

After this series, a series on William king of England and stadholder of the Netherlands would be really cool including his rise in the Franco Dutch war

[@igor-yp1xv]

Great episode

[@josh656]

Great channel, the format is perfectly synced to my ADHD!

[@MrKiljeaden89]

This just made my thursday evening!

[@johndavid7065]

You're just so fun and exciting! It's so enthralling listening to you tell these stories. You inspire so much thought and you bring such enthusiasm to history. So I feel like you left us hanging at the end there. It's that your new thing, to tease us with desire for more? 🙂

[@DefraggedHistory]

Cliffhangers have been around since episode one. The episode 11 one is my favorite. Perhaps you're only now noticing because you have to wait for the next installment? ;-)

[@johndavid7065]

@@DefraggedHistory Yeah it could be that or, as you said once, maybe you are a little bit mean... Either way I hope you love knowing that at least 1 person in this world is always excited when you tell me stories🖐🙂

[@hashimbokhamseen7877]

incredible as always.

[@arikgwie5172]

Wow I like your videos very much. They are very detail and very informative. In this video, I especially like chapter 5 : Batavia, because it is also about history of my country and one of my favourite national hero : Sultan Agung

[@1992zorro]

This video is going to become viral

Perhaps your next project Anglo-Dutch Wars especially the four days battle I just love the art Pretty Please

In like the high quality translation of this video It helped me very much to sharpen my english and learning about 80 years war

[@sansifer529]

New episode yey!

[@Drumsgoon]

Looking forward to a new episode!

[@jamescrowi6472]

Second comment and 3rd like even before watching 😎. Now let's enjoy

[@scottcornford1644]

I personally think the music is maybe 5-10% bit loud but overall excellent video in an excellent series

[@DefraggedHistory]

A few questions: is this for the entire series, or just this episode? Is it throughout the episode, or a few chapters? Does the music sound louder during the chapter intro's - and drop down when I start talking? Because that happens if you have a loudness/normalization setting on. I always listen to the episode on a normalization device as well, because I can then lower the volume on the worst offenders.

[@scottcornford1644]

@@DefraggedHistory I have only just noticed it tbh and its more of a comparison between your voice and the music

[@robhendrikx2198]

​@@DefraggedHistory I am not kidding here: whenever something is written about the music to this series, I'm thinking "music? what music?". Honestly, I don't (consciously) hear it. Which probably means it perfectly matches the images/story. So: well done!

Oh god!! The sick burns Mrs old barn is a gangster. A woman who gave a lot for her country. People often forget the value of lost causes. The energy of belief can be destructive, but this age of conviction is what made the dutch great. This has been such a great story; agh!

One of the most interesting parts of the WIC from my research on the topic for my MA is the key role of former Portugese Jews and Conversos in helping the Dutch get a foot hold in the region due to their Trans Imperial connections.

It's a lil strange hearing united states & not be talkin bout the U.S of America I've never heard another place being called the U.S...this a great & informative channel

[@napolien1310]

this is why i hated the death of Johan van Oldenbarnevelt the Dutch don't have someone with his experience and cunning on top of that his good relation with France, that's why i blame Maurits for not swallowing his bride and Pardon him.

[@DefraggedHistory]

Well, even if he had been pardoned, he wouldn't have been in a government position. If he'd not been arrested, chances are very good it would have ended the Republic. It was a lose-lose scenario. However, a pardon would have saved Maurits' reputation.

[@robhendrikx2198]

To be fair, most brides are hard to swallow.😂

[@arielquelme]

Anyway, you mentioned Batavia Somehow my Indonesian blood feels uneasy, considering the Dutch oppression in Java :)

[@donutkanaal]

Girl the breath of air you take before saying full spanish names and titles always crack me up 😂

I've really enjoyed this series so far! I'd like to learn more about the 80 years war, do you have any book recommendations?

[@DefraggedHistory]

Oh, you'd have to be more specific. What aspect would you like to know more about? I combine so many different books covering so many themes and topics, I don't think there's one that covers it all. There's a sources list on my website. Link is in the description.
