Super gedetailleerde video zoals altijd weer, met nadruk op het kaartenwerk deze aflevering. Op dat gebied kan ik zeker de Bosatlas van de geschiedenis van Nederland aanraden, die zit bomvol met dit soort historische kaarten van Nederland en natuurlijk Friesland inbegrepen. Nogal prijzig maar hopelijk beschikbaar in de plaatselijke bieb. Ga zo door!

[@BackgroundHistory]

Bedankt voor het compliment! Ik steek inderdaad veel werk in de kaarten, blij dat het gewaardeerd wordt! Ik zal naar de Atlas zoeken!

[@thommyneter168]

Legend tegen legend

[@StudioMassaAnimatie]

​@@BackgroundHistory Oh en die thumbnail 😙👌magnifiek

[@B_men_apo]

The inclusion of east Frisia in a faded orange colour is a awesome addition because the influence of the Dutch was so high in the area.

[@wilcolindeboom5588]

This might be my favourite subject you covered so far!

[@CptZhu]

Underrated channel and history creators are always gigachads

[@hedzer7877]

Top video, veel van geleerd! Je kan zien dat je er veel tijd in hebt gestoken

[@ewoudvanaalst4089]

2:46 I laughed way harder at this that I should have

[@djlyko6990]

Love the artstyle, severely underrated channel!

[@user-ky8nh8sd6l]

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

[@BackgroundHistory]

Goeiedei, glad you enjoy the video's! I was planning on covering a bit more of the East and Northern Frisians soon!

[@user-ky8nh8sd6l]

​@@BackgroundHistorythat sounds awesome!

[@InJouHande]

Lyk my ou Jan van Riebeeck het net betyds Suid-Afrika toe gekom😂 dank die Vader, anders was ek nie vandag hier nie.

[@koninginvictoria]

I love your videos. Bedankt!

[@blidiotwoofghidiot3627]

Dikke video man! Waarom is Deventer anders gekleurd dan de rest van Overijssel op bijvoorbeeld 10:58?

[@BackgroundHistory]

Hey bedankt! Deventer is door Keulen bezet aangegeven omdat zij, in overeenkomst met Lodewijk XIV en Münster, deze stad was beloofd als beloning voor hun deelname.

[@5thMilitia]

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

[@diogenes926]

They weren't economically ruined, but the enormous expenses didn't help a nation that was already starting to stagnate.

[@5thMilitia]

@@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

[@annekejaarsma4642]

Awesome video!

[@user-pm5qf7mh4w]

the french they come when you are on your knees

[@thomaswhittingham9726]

Mooi man!

[@TimDutch]

Weer een zeer nette aflevering! Vraag: waarom is op 22:30 Ameland niet ingekleurd?

[@ewoudvanaalst4089]

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

[@BackgroundHistory]

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.

[@TimDutch]

@@ewoudvanaalst4089 Ah dat zijn interessante feiten. Bedankt voor het delen

[@thommyneter168]

Waanzinnig!

[@DT-wp4hk]

1:26 you are sure that Louis wasn't called 'Van Gaal' of his last name?
