Wait... I never noticed you wore a colour found on the flag each time.
mauritius, moldova, east timor, antigua...? I had to check
But he is wearing a color that's found on the flag: white.

so, there is no "Blood" for the red part.
Well, as Orange refers to the house of Orange, you could say it refers to "blue blood"

The Dutch were first then Russia copied it and then France copied it.
@@80s_homer53 Time Paradox intensifies. The French Republicans traveled into the past and first invented tricolor flag during the Medieval Ages, and the Dutch people steals that idea. And the Vikings visited the Moon first. And Earth is a square.

In parts of the Netherlands, mostly the Southern and eastern (catholic regions), Carnaval is a pretty important festival. Although mostly seen as by many people as a alcohol/drinking festival (Germany/Beligium be like: we should hang out some time), there also are some decently large parades with decoraded waggons (Brazil be like: we should hang out some time).
In the North King's Day is more celebrated though. It kinda balances itself out
Carnaval is the reason I go north this week.
@@Palinghufter ey same
Carnaval, King's Day, Liberation Day; they've all turned into excuses to get hammered...
@@rjfaber1991 Exactly, that's one of the reasons why I don't really care about them.
Thank you for mentioning the Dutch Brazil, people talking about dutch history always leave that part out. I'm from Recife by the way, named Mauritsstad at that time, the capital of the colony.
That's my name.

Fun flag fact, during the decolonisation indonesians would rip the blue part of the dutch flag to make the indonesian red and white flag and i thought it's pretty creative
Sounds like they learned some money saving tricks from the Dutch, about giving a hit with the others stick after beating someone up.
I ALWAYS IMAGINED THAT'S HOW THEY CAME UP WITH IT!!!
O r a n g e
Although it's not actually where Indonesian flag originated from (since the origin can be traced back to majapahit era), just a coincidence.
@@joehoe222 dutch also learned from Spain to ask reparation money from the country they're once ruled over.

There's a saying in Indonesia that 3.5 years of Japan occupation is worse than 350 years of Dutch colonialism. Not that we enjoy both Imperialism, though... but 1942-45, dear God, we learned at school that the Dutch were hunted like deers.
@@vuvuvu6291 netherlands is still better then Indonesia
The Netherlands was unified as a R E P U B L I C in the late 1500’s, the first unified Nederlands state if I’m correct.
Barbz I'm from Lebanon, Arak is mostly a Lebanese spirit, you HAVE to mix it with water LMAO, it becomes white and that's how it's intended to be drank. And not 1/2 water 1/2 arak, it's more like 1/4 arak 3/4 water with 2 ice cubes, this stuff is STRONG!
Is it like rhaki? It seems to be a popular drink in the mediterranean/eastern nations
For a flag friday video; I am actually surprised that you didn't mention the fact the the dutch tricolor was the precursor to all the other red/white/blue flags spawned in eastern europe.
Rather, the oldest tricolour that's still in use, but yeah he really should've mentioned that!
9:09 My family stayed in Lelystad many years ago (I was in grade 5, now I'm 37), and my brother & I could not get enough of those sprinkles. Best breakfast ever!
On a side note, whenever we were visiting family on that trip, and we told them we went to Lelystad, they would always ask us the same question: "What the hell were you doing in Lelystad?"
fun fact: the highest point of the Netherlands is about 5 metres away from the point where Belgium, Netherlands and Germany border converges. :)
You forgot the VOC and WOC, the two biggest compagnies in the world
I think it was WIC?
anyway
he's right
the VOC at it's hight was worth 7,9 trillion dollars in todays money
or the 20 biggest companies on earth atm combined
yes it was WIC
Aruba was part of the "Nederlandse Antillen" until 1986. We've been a separate constituent country 24 years before they restructured the system for the other islands. Also, for the most luxerious Carnival celebration in the Kingdom you have to go to Aruba. It's astonishing to see how invested people are in Carnaval, with feathers and all that, comparable to a smaller scale Rio celebration. They also celebrate Carnaval in the southern parts of the Netherlands, but it's not the same. People from the south do enjoy it though.
The Netherlands has the largest artificial island in the world: Flevopolder.
did you even watch the Netherlands video?
@@edofluit6568 Yes, this wasn't in it.
Have fun on the much deserved break. Thanks for all of the great content.

Hello to the whole Geography Now Team ! Great episodes again this week, congratulations! By the way guys, I absolutely didn't know you were coming to Europe. When are you coming to visit Brussels and Luxemburg ?

I live in the netherlands, you should visit Leiden. Its a Nice town close to Amsterdam with lot’s of history and beautiful buildings. It also is the place the American pilgrims came from.
Haha ik woon in Gouda
Limburg!!!!

I heard the reason they changed the colour of the orange stripe is because of red being more visible on the battle field and on sea, that way everyone could recognise their nationality way easier
Make it orange, theres enough red/white/blue flags
Thats the flag of Luxembourg
@@m.c.e.lariekoek6981 Luxemburg is red white and light blue
The orange flag was used by nazi-sympathisers during WW2 so no thank you ;)

this the most fun episode of Flag/Fan Friday!
awesome video as always! WOOOOO
To everyone saying Malta is the most densely populated in EU: Netherlands IS the most densely populated country in the EU ranked from highest population to lowest.
April fools day is actually older than the Spanish invasion in Brielle on 1 April 1572
@P Sherman yes, someone finally mentions Brielle! I live there and they didn't even mention it from what I sent.
@@emeraldsroses0524 but "in naam van oranje".
"Netherlands IS the most densely populated country in the EU ranked from highest population to lowest."
That makes no sense. Malta has more people per square kilometer, so Malta is more densely populated. It's not logical to compare absolute population figures to population density.
@@PGraveDigger1 if they checked the Wikipedia page, under the chart "Density of the most populous countries" is Netherlands the first European country on the list. Perhaps they checked that list
A funfact, william of orange, the "father of the fatherland" didn't even speak dutch he mostly spoke french.
It was the lingua franca at the time, and widely spoken by the nobility and the increasingly important merchant class throughout what would become the Netherlands, so it wouldn't have been much of a hindrance to communicating with his people...
Orange is a french city
@@clarentius3761 he didn't really resident there at all. So that won't be the main reson just that it was the cool thing to speak French even to he him self was of German descent (Nassau)
Truth! And if you watch closely to our branch of the Nassaus now on the throne, they are more German than Dutch.
Well no... The father of the current king was a german but the nassaus themselves aren’t
Awesome!!
Looking forward!!
I like your style a lot. Facts and facta, no ado! Also I like the corrected errors, like Wadden Sea, which i noticed only yesterday and so soon i see your new video. Thank you!

6:49 I have seen that in a documentary about sharks and we used to have a picture of that! :)
1:20 Hirado was the port before **sakoku**. During and after that, the Dutch transfered in the now famous island of Dejima due to their failure in complying with the Bakufu requirements.
I've already commented on how my country's video came out in the week of my eighteenth birthday, but now my country's Flag Friday comes out _on_ my eighteenth birthday! It's almost as if it was secretly planned or something. Thanks, Barbs, I guess!
wow so special! I am kinda special 2 becouse this video came out in the year of my 19th birthday! and I have vacation today and this video comes out.. Its almost as if that was secretly planned 2! O:
Happy birthday!
I'm definitely looking forward to meet you in Brussels
2:30 actually we switched from orange to red solemnly because red could be seen better on sea so dutch knew who there allies where and the enemies we're scared.
During our gold age we we're known to be the "best" in sea wars.
This was mostly because our commander Michiel de Ruyter was such a good tactician and made us win most wars.
You forget to talk about the VOC which is really inportant

When in Belgium don't forget to go to the Ardennes region and visit the battlefield where the bulge is and visit American cemeteries (near Spa or Luxembourg airport) or the German ones (near Luxembourg airport) both very interesting. But, if going to Flanders don't forget the commonwealth cemeteries (everywhere in north east Flanders). Both very fun.

The April fools thingy and it's correlation with the 80 years war is something I doubt about really. But the "war stuff" legend is explained like this:
During the Dutch revolt the Spanish Duke of Alva was sent to the low countries to stop them. But on the first of April (in 1572 I think) he lost Brielle, then named Den Briel.
When a war officer had to tell this loss to the Duke, he misunderstood the message and he thought that he lost his glasses
Op 1 april verloor Alva zijn bril
Op 1 april verloor Alva Den Briel

At some point before the end of last year,I was hoping you would get to Norway before i go there later this month.. guess not hahahah , enjoy the holiday!
Great video! Although, you didn't rectify that William of Orange was not really the first king (he and a lot of descendants had the title of 'stadholder' (which is the replacement of the count')). The Netherlands were a republic after all (one of the few in Europe in the 16th, 17th and 18th century). The Dutch Republic (literaly 'The Republic of the Seven United Netherlands) existed until 1795, when it was conquered by the French Republic and replaced by the Batavian Republic (1795-1806) , the Kingdom of Holland (1806-1810) and complete French occupation (1810-1813). After Napoleon had been defeated, the Netherlands became a kingdom. Many people think that William I (crowned in 1815) was the first king of the Netherlands, but strictly speaking it was actually the brother of emperor Napoleon I, Louis Bonaparte (who was also the father of emperor Napoleon III). He ruled as king of Holland from 1806 until 1810.
If you miss out on the Dutch Republic, a turning point in the history of Europe and therefore the world, you better don't bother with history at all, ever again.
one thing that you forgot to mention in both videos is that the netherlands also has a large morroccan minority
What a blessing! Multiculturalism
He did mention that actually
@@DaveWraptastic I believe that he mentioned the mollucans, not morroccans, however, i'll have to look back
@@ivar185 And is there something wrong with that? :)

You could have mentioned Mata Hari in the famous people section of the the Nether regions video. She was a Dutch (Friesland) exotic dancer and courtesan who was convicted of being a spy for Germany during World War I and executed by firing squad in France. Her life is veiled in mystery and legend.
Go visit Utrecht, it's a hidden gem. Like lil' Amsterdam without the tourism. Love to meet you guys. Cheers from Utrecht

The Dutch flag also influenced other flags. Like the South African flag. Some say even the Russian flag was based on the Dutch flag. As a country flag it is also old. Older than most other flags. Perhaps the oldest.
