The Dutch Abroad 1600-1800 | Documentary Supercut

The Dutch have always been a seafaring nation, but from the mid-sixteenth century onwards with their war against the Spanish and the creation of a global trading empire, people left the Netherlands for destinations across Europe, the Americas, Africa and Asia. In this supercut video, find out more about Dutch communities abroad.

Awesome overview Hilbert! Think you and I are the only KZbinrs that dedicate this much attention to Dutch history.

[@Artur_M.]

Me seeing the notification: "Wow, that's a broad topic!" Then I clicked on it and it turned out to be a supercut of previous videos. Still nice. 😉 Merry Christmas!/Vrolijk Kerstfeest!/Noflike Krystdagen/Wesołych Świąt (Bożego Narodzenia)!

Dutch loanwords that still exist here in former New Netherland: Stoop: The staircase and porch leading to the front door Kill: A small-medium sized body of water. Elsewhere known as a creek. cruller: a type of donut 'Boss', 'Santa Claus' and 'cookie' of course are also famously loans from New Netherland but the ones I listed are regional. :)

I'm from Brazil, and I'm one of the very few people who have dutch ancestors here, at least the ones who came recently to Brazil who received lands from the Brazilian government

[@jamesvandemark2086]

When our earliest North American ancestior, Thomas Van De Mark, arrived in the New Netherlands Colony (New York/New Jersey) he had a beautiful dark-haired wife from Recife at his side. Beginning in the 1640s they had several children.........

[@FOLIPE]

​​@@jamesvandemark2086Dutch presence in northeastern Brazil is basically zero. In the south we did receive a few thousand Dutch immigrants relatively recently (late 19th and early 20th century). Some of those came from Dutch colonies like Indonesia, not from the european territories. Anyway, it's just another one of those small immigrant communities like Latvian that exist in South America but you don't usually hear about, after all, about 85% of post abolition population movements to Brazil were comprised of Portuguese, Italians and Spaniards, and the majority of the rest being Japanese, Germans, Arabs and a mix of slavs (mostly poles and Ukranians).

[@andre_cinelli]

In fact, there are not a few of them, the IBGE points out that there are more than 1 million Dutch people here. The difference is that they are not as influential as other ethnicities, like the Italians.

[@Mango-ew5du]

I love the parts where you play that tune with the dutch flag...love it!!! Thank you! 😂😂 also love the Boer and Dutch history and wish these peoples can reconnect and unite under the shared history!

[@luizgustavovasques4663]

A video about Dutch Brazil would be very cool. Just saying.

[@suppiluiiuma5769]

It always amazes me how differently Afrikaans and Dutch are pronounced in comparison to one another.

[@TheDanEdwards]

Maybe some background on the post-viking Hanseatic League and the rise of cities that depended upon sea trade between them, all the from Bergen in the far northwest, to the eastern part of the Baltic Sea, would make for some good background on how the Dutch came to be and why all these cities have such deep roots.

[@Jobe-13]

They were truly among the masters of the sea.

[@gav1nwood]

Fascinating. Thanks.

[@alansmithee8831]

Hello Hilbert. This felt like doing revision, having watched before in the original videos, but good revision. Is the test after the holidays? Happy Christmas / Holidays and New Year / Hogmanay too to you and anyone reading the comments. P.S. I checked that Boxing Day is a Dutch holiday too, though "Second Christmas" makes it sound greedy for more.

[@Chris-fh2cl]

I don’t speak Dutch, I was in the Netherlands once for only a few days, I have zero family ties there…. But I now walk around my house singing the Wilhelmus

[@eefaaf]

26:23 The Sint Bavo on the Grote Markt in Haarlem.

[@CTRLerSupport]

Hey Hilbert, thanks for the video. Would it be possible to have a link to the sources? I tried to find article shown @ 5:04 'The Mennonites and Their Relation with the Netherlands, Germany and Russia, Tjeerd de Graaf', without any luck. If anyone can share it with me, I would like to read more.

[@jacoblamb3535]

Do a video on pella iowa

[@arrow1414]

Jeez, you have a lot of abrupt, neck-snapping edits in this video!😮

[@TroyDowVanZandt]

During the annual dinner of the Holland Society of New York, they bring out a stuffed beaver. Nothing like a stuffed beaver to whet one's appetite. Stuyvesant viciously resisted the arrival of Jews in New Netherland. His superiors in the Dutch West Indies Company eventually disabused him of his intolerance. The toponomy of New York is much richer in Dutch names than what the video hints at. For example, Yonkers is named after Adriaen van der Donck, more specifically his title of jonkheer. A young, talented lawyer, van der Donck became Stuyvesant's nemesis. By the time of Stuyvesant's poorly thought out attack on the Swedes in 1655, the people of New Netherland were already quite tired of his dictatorship. The Swedes' Indian allies counterattacked New Netherland, killing van der Donck and my ancestor Christoffel Harmens. A post-Stuyvesant New Netherland in which people could enjoy the protection of the Dutch legal system was in the making (something van der Donck set in motion). New Amsterdam's council put Christoffel's son Gerrit Stoffels in the care of the city's two orphanmasters, Johannes Nevius and Jacques Cortelyou. Gerrit was raised in Cortelyou's house and educated in the law, eventually becoming a magistrate of Nieuw-Utrecht.

[@jasfan8247]

Interestingly after Peter Minuet was sent back to Holland he offered his services to the Swedish king and that's how the Swedish colony was formed. The competion between those colonies was like an extension of their leaders animosity, who met again under different flag. What-a-mess....i had Van Der Donck mixed-up with previous laywer Minuet who served under Kieft just before Stuyvesant. Lots of hustling went on....

[@TroyDowVanZandt]

It all worked out in the end. @@jasfan8247

[@Game_Hero]

7:19 Very much reminded me of the Amish people, who only worship in someone's barn. Could it have come from there? Can we have an History of the Amish video one day if not already made?

[@KangaKucha]

They have been to many European countries besides theirs and explored like Portugal did. In my what if/Alternative World History, their Empire would be expanded to. Not bigger than British or Russian, but significant.

[@calvinvoorhees6618]

Don't take this the wrong way, but your choice is great to fall asleep to

[@cheesyweedhead4020]

dit is wel echt super kut!

[@alexandercellante7553]

0:45 Thanks for giving us a warning! 😂

[@televisedpork7993]

Warning? More like a treat lol.

[@FOLIPE]

The Dutch West Indies Company, for a period of time of about a quarter of a century, occupied a chunk of northeast Brazil. Interestingly, they were allied with the Portuguese who were revolting against the Spanish in the Restauration War during most of this period, but the local Brazilians still revolted against the Dutch and expelled them despite orders of the Portuguese King to the contrary as they had an agreement with the Dutch to keep the status quo for a while. The Brazilians were also the ones who organized the expedition to expell the Dutch from African holdings such as Luanda in Angola.

[@matthewmann8969]

The Dutch were not as blunt and heavy with there take overs and hand overs compared to Germans, British, Irish, French, Danish, Italians, Portuguese, Or Spanish yeah.

[@BiggestCorvid]

Indonesia was just a 'happy accident', I guess. To be fair that was post 1800

[@LillyP-xs5qe]

They had slaves...

[@BiggestCorvid]

@LillyP-xs5qe I guarantee if the Dutch had rolled the dice and found the giant mountain of silver first, they would have worked to locals to death just as quickly getting it out of the mountain and started that part of the 17th Century General Crisis instead of the Spanish. The Dutch weren't as awful as the Spanish because they were able to learn from the Spanish, and in the new world they arrived after the mass deportations from disease. There were fewer humans in the Americas to exploit.

[@LillyP-xs5qe]

@@BiggestCorvid I pointed out how the had slaves in cape colony showing the Dutch were just as evil as the rest of the Europeans...

[@powahpower2463]

​@@LillyP-xs5qe They certainly aint no saint but no one was back then😅. African-on-African warfare was where most of the enslaved Africans came from. Though Europeans and the Muslims certainly didn't help.

Good to see again gathered into one. I'd be really interested in seeing a video on the various Anabaptist movements and their diaspora. Thanks and seasons greetings.
