What Were Naval Battles Like In The 17th Century?

[@FoxWolfWorld]

I miss watching shows like this at 1 pm on a Wednesday when you were sick from school. The History Channel used to mean something

[@marcmelvin3010]

A very nice summation of the Anglo-Dutch wars. Thank you.

[@jackrice2770]

Decent summation of the Anglo-Dutch wars. Damned little about naval battles or ships.

[@zororosario]

Superb ,thanks for this information about our historic events. The actors are the best bang for the scenario of the Era. Cheers

[@BillParker-z8o]

Those are modern Dutch flags. At the time, the Dutch flag was orange, white, and blue.

[@Hansjoh21]

No, both flags were used. Even the double red-white-blue for naval ships is correct.

[@MatthewZiegler]

​​@@Hansjoh21No shit? That's interesting

[@Hansjoh21]

@@MatthewZiegler Ay, from Wiki: The Dutch navy between 1588 and 1630 had always displayed the Prince's Flag (orange-white-blue), and after 1663 always the States Flag (red-white-blue), with both flag variants being in use during the period of 1630-1662. So in this video about the second and third Anglo-Dutch war (>1665) is should be red-white-blue.

Oranje, blanje, bleu

[@TheOrigamiPeople]

Great history from the perspective of naval tactics and strategy.

[@JohnnySmith.]

Excellent, really enjoyed that,as I also did part 1 😊

[@grosenbergmd]

Fantastic production!

[@joealp8196]

Excellent value all round as informative entertainment. I was particularly impressed by Llan Goodman's performance as Pepys.

[@BIG-DIPPER-56]

Brilliantly done ! THANKS ! 😎👍

This documentary / thespian and computer reenactment covers such important events in history including the obvious question why no remaining name New Amsterdam despite a San Francisco, Los Angeles, California, Montreal etc. The answer from this documentary is that the Duke of York was not just related to the King of England he was eventually related to the Prince of Orange. Basically, they worked it out amongst themselves and all eventually agreed with the name “New York.”

[@tatumergo3931]

That's a matter of more complexity than just simply that! San Francisco, Los Angeles, Montreal, California etc.etc were already well established cities and territories, well known already all over the world. Trying to change their names or give them a new identity would have been impossible, and more so totally unnecessary. Imagine Texas been called anything other than Texas....! And for that matter Nevada, Colorado and New Mexico...even Montana doesn't get that chance!

[@noneyerbusiness203]

Well made, very interesting !

[@Hooibeest2D]

For those who are interested, there is a rather good and accurate movie about the Dutch Anglo wars 'Michiel de Ruyter' after the admiral. Its Dutch English made but mainly Dutch spoken. There's a dubbed version but i've got no idea if it's available outside the Netherlands. Anyway, they depict the sea battles and tactics rather well. Among with the politics, complots and the Dutch royal state holder preparing to be king of England, plan was the Dutch would provit from this and eventually got the worst of it. Didn't make things better for the Dutch and certainly not for the Irish. Till this day orange is in their flag and the north keeps troubeling with their inheritance! Thanks Willem Wiliam 😅 I'm guessing thats the only thing that remained from the Anglo Dutch wars. Officially the Dutch and British where in war over the scilly Isles until the 1990's when they finally agreed and our queens signed the peace. And de Ruyters marine forces are still around, nice invention. Otherwise there's not much gained or left from the battles and countless deaths.

[@tatumergo3931]

Yes a very good film and quite enjoyable, minus some of the historical inaccuracies. Personally I loved it!

[@DenUitvreter]

Stadtholder is the English word and he was not royal. Stadhouder was the Dutch word for steward to the king, for one or more provinces. When the king was declared to have left the throne for ignoring inalienable rights and becoming a tyrant in 1581, the stadtholder who led the revolt became the de facto leader but he was not the souvereign, souvereignty had moved from the king to parliament or the people, that matter was never decided. Anyway, stadtholders were appointed by parliaments.

[@ArtilleryAffictionado1648]

Excellent documentary. The format of CGI ships (which are thankfully not pulled from total war) with real life actors is such a breath of fresh air. For a free documentary, it's a great one. One can even excuse small mistakes like that total lack of hats and the british flag from 1707 appearing in the 1670s hehe.

[@williamhemmings2879]

A great historical production.

[@Tupac-g8c6x]

Wow, great documentary! I did want to to end 😂 😢

[@Centurion101B3C]

Excellent production. Something that our American brethren should take good and thorough notion of. There is the possibility it would lead to the unexpected outcome that they would learn something of it.

[@baystateplugflipper7061]

Excellent!!

[@gelderstrotsvaderland5492]

Yes yes you all loved to have our lowland 🇪🇸🇬🇧🇫🇷🇩🇪 And still we have our lowland 🇳🇱🇳🇱🇳🇱🇳🇱🇳🇱🇳🇱🇳🇱🇳🇱🇳🇱🇳🇱🇳🇱

[@tatumergo3931]

Yes and your Queen is of Spanish ancestry...haha! Soon you rebellious protestants will belong once again to Catholic Spain, and then you will dance the Flamenco.....hahaha! You weren't specting the Spanish Inquisition.... we strike again!

[@DaysOfDarknessUK]

This is great !!

[@billiboussmith3700]

Was waiting at the beginning for the narrator to say Gheralt of Rivia

Dude rode a unicorn and still lost

[@deee1979]

You must always pick the lesser of two weevils.

[@colinmerritt7645]

42:16. Tump: The French will stand off while they watch us and the English GRIND each other. Sounds about right.

[@bobyouel7674]

great

[@colinmerritt7645]

10:54 Trump, I want your resignation as soon as possible!

[@ObsidianFane]

@ 32:08 ....William of Orangeman

[@Jack-Hands]

For those interested, it's spelled Tromp, not Trump.

[@ArtilleryAffictionado1648]

Kinda figured that out lol. Still, its funny to hear "trump, the orangist" (most people call him orange man)

[@timonstein9461]

The dutch made The English great again

[@ThePeeterd]

the one and only country to invade GB.and now our best friends.

They needed Trump as badly as we do.

[@scottsevers6194]

Isn't it irony that the name Trump has been a cock up for centuries 😂

[@dustinstewarttexas]

Trump living in your head rent free 😂

[@Kilroy-h5u]

Kinda fits

[@scottmulholland1329]

Not ironic, just accurate

[@chadettwein7667]

Yeah, because low crime, low unemployment, high wages, cheap gas and groceries is such a shitass situation. I much prefer the endless threat of war, high prices on everything combined with a devalued dollar, rampant crime and government dictating what you can think, say and do. Yeah, Trump was soooo terrible.

[@MowingMichaelA]

Point to where he touched you....

[@dannyboy-vtc5741]

I thought it was some documentary, but in fact just a stream of ads, people don't fall for this scam, banish this channel into oblivion!

[@johnglover4453]

5 minutes in, and, so far, is not so bad. Is it that bad? They didn't get Daniel Day Lewis or Rob De Niro for the acting, but, for a documentary, no one is expecting Academy Award calibre performances. But, wait? Trump? The orangists?! What's that all about? Will watch more, & see if you're maybe not wrong after all lol 🤔

[@chadettwein7667]

Nearly 5 minutes in and not a single ad yet

[@keefyfingers8574]

[@johnglover4453]

For the record. Watched the full documentary. Felt it was quite good. High production calibre. Strong visuals. The reenactments were a step above. A great narrator & more... (& no ads either, btw) Anyway. For better or worse, i subscribed to the channel... 😮
