The Netherlands is Controlling China, And Trying To Takeover The World Economy...

This is the town of Veldhoven in the netherlands. Its a fairly modest town with a population of 45,500. But what if I told you, that the entire world economy, is based around this town. Because, what is happening here, in Veldhoven, has been catching the attention of the worlds superpowers. In fact, something that is happening here, quietly, in the background, just might dramatically change the world for the better of humanity, cause a full on economic collapse, and maybe, just maybe, make an old empire rise once again.
This is the rotte River. Around the year 900 AD, a few dozen people lived along this river. However, over the next few hundred years, those few dozen people grew into a village with over 500 people. However, just as the village seemed to be reaching new heights, a massive flood of the river came and wiped out most of infrastructure of the village. And for 100 years, because of the flooding, this area didn’t recover. But then, the area became an area that would become one of the most important economic projects in history.
In the mid 1200’s, the Rotte River had a Dam built along it which helped reclaim a lot of the flooded land that the river destroyed a century earlier. Soonafter, King William the 4th of Holland officially made the village apart of Holland, and named it RotterDam after the river, and the dam which allowed the village to exist.
King William then announced a Canal project for Rotterdam, which would allow ships to enter and leave the city fairly easily. And it was this Canal project which would accidentally change the world as we know it today.
You see, the Canal in the 1300’s, did help bolster the local economy of Rotterdam but at the time, ship technology, and International trade were pretty limited. So for the time being, this Port and Canal was pretty much only used for trade between nearby countries.
But then, a strange thing happened. A race to become the new great empire of the world was underway. Spain, Portugal, and Britain all began inventing new ship technologies to expand their empires throughout the world. And over the next several centuries, globalization and colonization became rampant throughout the world. And all of a sudden, the port of Rotterdam, became one of the largest trading Hubs in the world.
You see, in the 1600s, as other empires like the british, spanish, and portuguese were focused on expanding their empire and seeing how much land they could conquer, the Dutch focused on controlling a few select countries, and creating trading posts, resource exploitations, and forts, rather than large expansive swaths of land.
Also during this time, the Netherlands also transitioned their economic policy towards having free markets, property rights for all, and high levels of agricultural and technological investment, therefore the Netherlands became known as the worlds first modern economy.
And because of all these reasons, the NEtherlands soon became known as the Dutch empire. The dutch controlled global trade, and dictated which nations were able to have access to key resources like spices, Rye, and luxuries,
By 1670, half of all european trade came from Dutch ships, and flowed through the ports of Rotterdam and Amsterdam.
Think about that, at the time of some of the largest empires in history, the Netherlands, who had a population of only about 2 million people, dominated world trade.
And I know what you are probably asking. What happened to this trade empire? Well, it actually never really went anywhere.
You see, even after its decolonization of its empire, the Dutch quietly have been one of the biggest trading nations in the world.
If you were to take a look at the top exporters of goods in the world, you would see something that may catch your eye.
The top exporters may seem obvious, as they are China, the United States, Germany, and Japan. Those nations have been the kings of exports for decades, and they all have very large populations. So that makes sense.
But who do you think is the next largest exporter of goods? Is it an old power like the UK or france? How about a large populous country like brazil or India? Maybe its an upcoming manufacturing powerhouse like indonesia?
Well. As it turns out. The Netherlands, is still one of the top exporters of goods in the world. Despite having a population of only 19 million people today, the Dutch

Some group of economists have projected that both the U.S and parts of Europe could slip into a recession for a portion of 2023. A global recession, define as a contraction in annual global per capita income, is more rare because china and emerging markets often grow faster than more developed economies. Essentially the world economy is considered to be in recession if economic growth falls behind population growth.

I agree, I think Netherlands and Belgium (Flanders) have a special adaptive population, they are the only countries where you can speak any language and this helps them work anywhere or allow any international company to function without communication problems.

[@ro8inmorgan]

@@sebkeccu4546 Kinda agree on this. I'm from the Netherlands and as a child being able to also speak english while having dutch parents was just a normal thing. Most of our cartoons and movies for kids where never dubbed and always just in English. But only as an adult when starting to travel to different countries I was so surprised how bad people are at speaking English. It really took me a while to realize this is really just a dutch thing. I don't know why but English just came as a second language when growing up and never really stood still by the fact that this is actually weird. We were always told as kids that this is important because we are a small country and that we need to be able to work on a global scale. I never realized this is really a dutch thing, but I'm kind of happy I grew up with this the world is your playground mentality. Do your business everywhere but always bring home the goods is what we get fed here from a very early age. Unfortunately I must say that with these newer generations this mindset is getting a bit lost now. For example nowadays all movies and cartoons are dubbed in dutch and in schools they teach allot less about that international mindset. Also many dutch politicians nowadays look at other countries as an example and also inhibit their us first practices, losing some of our dutch culture in the process. We were never this nationalists type of country and we were always open to explore. But sadly the nationalist mentality is growing here and there's even people who want the Netherlands out of the EU and separate ourselves as a country from the world. They think that things will go better this way but they don't realize that The Netherlands has always been a world hub and that's actually what made is do so well.

Beiden indirecte sloofjes van de VS... Oppervlakkig zijn is makkelijker vol te houden, denk ik dan (vandaar dat de VS ooit eens zo zwaar heeft ingezet op entertainment en het slachtbad van de social media nu). NL is ook al eeuwen een drijvende motor van de wereldorde op de achtergrond. De beurs hebben we zo'n beetje uitgevonden, net als het kapitalisme wat erbij hoort. De wereld leegroven en er schatrijk mee worden en vervolgens gigantische bedrijven bevoordelen met achterdeurtjes. De industriëlen en het koningshuis verdeelden de koek graag... (bilderberg, shell, unilever - vooral Bernhard is er groot - en klein mee geworden). Ik snap het wel, maar de trots mag best wat gepaster - we kunnen blij zijn met de techniek, maar de reden dat uitgerekend ons kikkerlandje in zo veel gebieden uitblinkt, is niet altijd even rooskleurig. Net als de VS leunen we ook al 100 jaar op geïmporteerde arbeid middels immigratie, nadat de slavernij aanwas/goedkope arbeid op een laag pitje kwam te staan: 100 jaar geleden waren er zo'n 10 miljoen Nederlanders minder.

I love this video with beautiful images of the Netherlands. There are a few discrepancies in the video though. there are almost 18 million Dutch, The "Nieuwe Waterweg" was opened in 1872. This canal connected Rotterdam directly to the North Sea. The Power of the Dutch golden Age, from about 1588 to 1672, with its global maritime supremacy was mostly concentrated in Amsterdam. Rotterdam was pretty insignificant at that time. The economical power of Rotterdam , to what it is today, started really after the opening of the "Nieuwe Waterweg". There other videos of the Dutch Golden Age, The Glorious Revolution and the settlement of New Amsterdam that are worthwhile watching.

[@Twentsekoffieleut]

I agree there are discrepancies in the video. However he was correct about the canal during Wiliam IV (count of holland and NOT king) who lived around 1300-1350. To evade toll at the city of Schiedam, they dug a canal from the 'Schie' river to the 'Rotte' river. Therefor this canal is known as the 'Rotterdamse schie'. Only much later they created the 'Nieuwe Waterweg' canal (1872) which was needed to let the Rotterdam harbor grow into a gigantic port. Before the 19th century, Rotterdam was only a small port city between other port cities (Schiedam, Delft/Delfshaven, Dordrecht,.....).

[@AELFRAEDsK]

@@Twentsekoffieleut Interesting. I did not know that part. Before the Nieuwe Waterweg I think through Brielle was the shortest route to the North See.

Veldhoven is next door to Eindhoven, home town of Philips Company. Eindhoven didn't exist as a city until Philips started producing lightbulbs and expanded into way too many industries to mention. What is now called Eindhoven used to be a group of small villages like Strijp, Gestel, Tongelre and Acht, to name a few. ASML and a few other companies (Origin if my memory serves me well) were spin-off's of Philips, many of whom stayed geographically close to their mother-ship. Philips was considered one of the best employers in the Netherlands for many years, not in the least for their huge contribution to the welfare of their employees in the form of housing, schools, cultural centres and health care facilities. Not to mention Frits Philip's pride and joy PSV (Philips Sport Vereniging), which is most known for their soccer club. Their accounting system was top-notch, as well their inhouse schooling facilities. Many companies were started by ex-Philips employees, contributing to the growth of the formerly poor area.

Congratulations on your subject and the handling of it. Quite interesting, but if I may suggest something though: please ask yourself why MUSIC is needed in the background, blurring a perfect voice. It is a fashion and - if I may say so - quite a silly and counterproductive one. People who need music in orde to be attracted to listen to the explanation of a more or less serious subject do not exist. Those who really need backgrond music are empty-headed (they need the music to fill in a void) and those people are by definition not interested in a serious subject. I found the background 'music' very disconcerting in your - otherwise very nice - video. So, my sincere compliments, but a strong suggestion to do without the music as an irritating and unnecessary 'filler', that will only cost you subscriptions (like mine).

The man in the picture, that lived 400 years later, is neither ‘King’ William IV, but ‘Stadholder’ William IV (1711 - 1751), in the time the Netherlands were a republic. Kings under the name William reigned the Netherlands another half a century later, in the period 1815 - 1890: King William I, II and III. That makes technically our current king William Alexander, since 2013 (yet another century later), ‘King William IV’. (But he refused to go under that name). :D

It is so interesting to understand the connection between Dutch and Formosa(Taiwan) in the 17th century and compare it with the connection between ASML and TSMC in the 21st century. Geologically, so far away but technologically, so intertwined.

Exactly. A lot of companies passed on TSMC when it first started, but ASML smartly didn't. In no small part TSMC made ASML what it is today and the vice versa.

My granddaddy said: (and he was from middle Georgia), "Florida is a thousand miles long and one foot high." Holland, on the other hand, though quite similar, has PLENTY of places MINUS eight or ten feet low. Is it really smart to have ALL that chip making technology SO close to the water? There was a storm in 1964 that left MANY cities in Holland and costal Germany SWAMPED. We don't know the future, but technicians WARNED Tokyo Electric 20 years beforehand that the Fukushima emergency generators were NOT safe under the building for just that reason: high water. TEPKO did NOTHING... for 20 years.😢
