Magnificent Three: Cities that Shaped History

I haven’t watched such a detailed and enjoyable documentary on KZbin in a long time.

The Catholic Church never was persecuted. The US became a nation to get away from the Catholic Church because the Papacy was persecuting Bible believing Christians for not participating in the pagan Catholic Church

Spot market explanation

[@Joker-no1uh]

It's truly remarkable how such a small nation like the Netherlands had such a huge impact on history. Obviously, it is an impossible scenario, but if the Dutch only kept New Amsterdam as a colony and focus, it alone would more than double the Netherlands' GDP. Just NYC has the same or a little bigger GDP than the Netherlands. It's sad that the Netherlands doesn't get the recognition it deserves in the founding of the US. From the constitution to the government, to the economic policies, to religious freedoms, ect. Such a valuable and important key to the success of the US. Much love and appreciation.

[@mrharry8466]

What a fabulous, informative, well made documentary. Great job guys and gals.

[@naturesmomentstv]

I absolutely loved this! As someone passionate about architecture history, I’m always fascinated by how buildings tell stories of the past and reflect the culture of their era.

[@ellieB_NZ2004]

Ah Amsterdam. Used to hang out there when my dad took me to his work. After 49 years, i had the pleasure of retuning, twice, to do shopping with my very hospitable cousin. Proud to say I'm a Dutch Kiwi and will take my hubby back next time to visit that magnificent city.

[@frisianmouve]

Might as well visit the Old Zealand your country is named after if you're in the area anyway😄

[@HouseJawn]

This is a super cool documentary, i feel like we could have included so many other amazing cities, like Venice, Constantinople, Paris and Rome in regards to the history of market economies. Id love to see a prequel to this!

[@NuncEstBibendumX]

perhaps a trio of Athene, Rome, Paris. Perhaps not a theme of market capitalism but one of art/philosophy.

they werent contempory rivals, perhaps for a mediterranean story one could focus on Venice and Constantinople/Istanbul but cant think of a good third one.

[@FabGreg]

@@HouseJawn Indeed, the same documentary maker, Frederic Wilner, realised an excellent 4 parts serie dedicated to Paris and Berlin. Available on video platforms as "Paris - Berlin, destins croisés" in French language. Easier to follow since only 2 cities, making comparisons clearer.

Excellent documentary. I love architectural history.

[@CosmopolitanXMan]

The narration of this film missed an important historical fact. In <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="71">1:11</a>:05 it says that a navy with 4 ships from England took over New Amsterdam, but it doesn't say clearly why. The fact is that New Amsterdam, now New York, was transferred from Dutch to British control as part of a trade agreement centred around a different colony-an island in what is now Indonesia. In 1667, the Treaty of Breda formally ended the Second Anglo-Dutch War. As part of this treaty, the Dutch agreed to cede New Amsterdam (Manhattan) to the British, who renamed it New York. In exchange, the Dutch received full control over the island of Run, one of the Banda Islands in Indonesia, which was highly valued for its nutmeg production-a rare and valuable spice at the time. The island exchange made economic sense in the 17th century due to the spice trade's high profitability.

[@AudieHolland]

I'm Dutch and I never heard that before. We always say it was Suriname that we traded for New Amsterdam.

[@durfal]

@@AudieHolland It was Suriname and a spice Island in now Indonesia (one of the Spice Islands) so we would have a monopoly on the spice trade.

[@Strokes1983]

It's a common mistake. The US think they defeated the British to claim independence but in actual fact the British got tired of how long the war was taking and because they ruled most of the world they made a deal with America to leave, and pulled their resources elsewhere

[@AudieHolland]

@CosmopolitanXMan No, you're wrong. The English ships arrived in 1664 and New Amsterdam was surrendered to them because only Stuyvesant himself was willing to fight. A few years later, it was formally traded for Suriname and that Indonesian spice island (though I learned at school it was just Suriname). In 1673, the Dutch retook it but returned it again to the English in 1674, Treaty of Westminster.

Insightful and beautifully produced. Thx for sharing.

[@FabGreg]

For whose interested by this kind of content mixing History, city planning, architecture, Economy, the same documentary maker, Frederic Wilner, produced a very interesting 4 part serie dedicated to Paris - Berlin. Easier to follow since only 2 cities, not 3. Available in French language as "Paris-Berlin, destins croisés" on some video platforms. Possibly somewhere in English language. Highly recommended.

[@FabGreg]

In addition, the same documentary maker realizes excellent documentaries on Egyptian archeology (for instance "La fin de l'âge des pyramides", "Toutankhamon, le trésor redécouvert"), Angkor ("Angkor redécouvert", "Angkor, la civilisation engloutie"), Italian paintings ("Léonard de Vinci, le chef-d'œuvre redécouvert", "Caravage : un chef-d'œuvre sort de l'ombre"), and the history of the Louvre Museum ("Il était une fois le Musée du Louvre").

[@Judge_Magister]

I doubt you understand capitalism. There is nothing dark about capitalism.

[@Peterhistoryman69]

@Judge_Magister maybee you don't understand history and human nature and my comment was more about the dark history of capitalism Slavery, colonialism that's what I'm talking about Oke maybee this is lost in translation, with dark I mean the negative side of capitalism not some occult thing, does is it make more sense now?

[@Judge_Magister]

@@Peterhistoryman69 slavery and colonialism has little to do with capitalism. Now slaves were a common commodity throughout human history on all continents and all human races at some point either were slaves or kept slaves. Colonialism is also as old as human history, some civilizations notorious for colonizing others are the Phoenicians, Greeks, Romans, Arabs, Turks, Japanese etc. So please do not confuse capitalism with human immoralities, capitalism champions private property, and private property equals freedom. The most corrupt force in this world attacking private property and thus our freedom are governments.

Well made and informative documentary. Reading between the lines, it was always a matter of money and power between the protagonists of the time. I hope this video offers a glimpse of how the past is still reflecting into the present & future after so many centuries.

Wow, what a fantastic exploration of the cities that shaped our world! I really enjoyed the visuals and insights. However, I can't help but feel like the video overlooked some incredible smaller cities that also played crucial roles in history. it's interesting how we often focus on the big names, but there are so many hidden gems out there that deserve recognition too. What do you all think?

[@Ominousheat]

I think this is a doc about Amsterdam, London and New York. You are talking about something else.

[@3markaw]

This series added up to over three hours. If you want to include every city that you feel got slighted you might want to make your own series.

[@TheAngelnoir]

I love history, and this is one of the best documentary series I've seen in a while. I'm just conflicted, though, knowing that the greatness of these cities is the result of the destruction of many native lands and peoples across the planet.

In these exchanges, goods were mainly traded, but debt securities, such as loans and bonds, were also traded. In Amsterdam, shares and equity derivatives were added for the first time.

The British did not take New Amsterdam by force, it changed ownership by treaty when The Netherlands exchanged ownership of New Amsterdam for the British for the Island of Run in the East Indies. At the time the Island of Run had an enormous value because of its production of the spice Nutmeg. It seemed like a good idea at the time, but prove to be the worst deal the Dutch ever did…and a rather embarrassing one at that!
