You're wearing a Dutch shirt. Lekker 😋
The Heineken truck in the beginning
The people in New Amsterdam stayed there, and didn't care about any government in The Hague nor London nor Washington.
As long as they could trade, make profits and have a good time.
The flame for freedom was lit on Breeweg! (Broadway).
I guess there’s a lot people weren’t taught. Not only in the USA. I have learned more here on your channel than in school 😃
Nice shirt, Paul! 👌
You should have learned in history class, Rick. This is taught to everyone in the Netherlands. Maybe not on the very informative as this and therefore forgotten. But it was also in your classes. I'm sure of it.
@@aweg7321 some things I’m not that sure of, actually. Because it depends on the teacher and how detailed it will get.
I love history … I don’t know why I can’t remember 😊
Read the complete story in his book, New Amsterdam: Island in the Center of the World
Might actually buy it! Seems pretty interesting!
Russell Shorto - The Island at the Center of the World “The epic story of Dutch Manhattan and the forgotten colony that shaped America”
very good to hear that this part of the history of New York has gotten more attention! Great!
and the video starts with a heiniken truck in the back
Wallstreet is a street that the Dutch gave it its name, it means Dockstreet. Brooklyn comes from a place in the Netherlands known as Breukelen and there is more.
Harlem = Haarlem, Flushing = Vlissingen, Greenwich = Groenwijck, Coney Island= Conyne Eylandt...
@@Biempje And Albuquerque = Albekerke.
Fun fact, not about USA, but Belgium: Broekzeil was corrupted by the French to Bruxelle, which is corrupted back into Dutch to Brussel.
@@Random_user_8472 Didn't know these ones! Thanks! 😃
@@Random_user_8472 Wow, that's new to me. Thanks!
I visited New York in 2007 and immediately got a very comfortable kind of home feeling. I was completely at ease in a strange city, and a beautiful city. A lot of recognizable streetnames of Dutch origine like Amsterdam Avenue, Broadway and so on. And one beautiful historical building with on the front 3 names Amsterdam - Manhattan - New York, also with the 3 crosses the weapon of Amsterdam on it. I think it was the municipal building near Brooklyn bridge. Correct me if I'm wrong please. So yes, I felt a lot of Dutch history and had a lovely time there.
Thank you Highly for diving in to this, looking forward to the rest of the 🇳🇱🇺🇸 history lesson.
Russell Shorts and Charles Gherin did so much on this topic Charles is working on this history for more than 40 years on the New Netherlands Project
Allthough a like a lot of Shorto's insights it's a shame he doesn't manage to get unstuck from the English narrative alltogether.
Bowery Lane (Bouwerijlaan) Bridge street (Brugstraat) Broadway (Breede Weg) Brooklyn (Breukelen) Bushwick (Boswijk) Coney Island (Konijneneiland) Flushing (Vlissingen) Gravesend (Gravesende) Greenwich Village (Groenwijck) Harlem (Haarlem) Hempstead (mogelijk naar Heemstede genoemd) Hoboken (mogelijk naar Hoboken (Antwerpen) genoemd) Holland (veel gebruikt) Long Island (het "Lange Eylandt" genoemd door Adriaen Block, 1614) New Utrecht (Nw.-Utrecht) Rhode Island (mogelijk van "Roodt eylandt") Spuyten Duyvil Creek Staten Island Stuyvesant (veel gebruikt, naar Peter Stuyvesant) The Bronx (>>Jonas Bronck) Wall Street (Wal Straat of Waal Straat) Yonkers (Jonker)
I was a bit vague on the Dutch connection until I moved to New York. I had learned that New York was first New Amsterdam, and settled by the Dutch. When I moved here was when I started learning such things as why places have names like that. :)
Love that Heinenken truck at the start of the video 😄
read some of his books (or audio books) ... 'Island in the center of the world' and 'amsterdam' are a good start.
Interesting, I love history, so can't wait for the next..Thanks
They clearly know enough to have maintained original Dutch district names...like Harlem, Hoboken and Yonkers; and to have named a brand of cigarettes after the Dutch governor...Peter Stuyvesant.
Hoboken is Belgian
Good video Paul! Will see the others for sure, in fact I saw the next earlier today wat made me look for this...
@02:30 "Too busy to give a damn" (about their own history) This reminds of a quote from George George Santayana (1863-1952)
“Those who cannot remember the past, are condemned to repeat it.”.
A recent former president of the US made it come to live, and it will not die until people "Know their history".
(Just think about a ruling of the supreme court a few days ago.)
they might have to take the Dutch route in New York , if water levels rise/rain floods the city..
I remember the news about Amira Willighagen in the American Anderson Cooper show . Hé even didn't know there are people living in the Netherlands.. How stupid can one be.
Never seen but kinda ridiculous.
I did see the video in which Americans were asked to point out their own country and some other countries ..... 1 boy knew something. Not a single passer-by could point to anything. There was even one that couldn't find America on the map.
Much love to you bro
Love the shirt! Lekkerrrrr🤗
The fact that schools dont teach much more then how to love being a wage slave.... that doesn't make it forbidden to search and learn on your own behalf... a thing many people do but Statians seem averse of on a general... a mentality that seems to be somewhat changing but still
What if the USA was now Dutch speaking or more a country builded from 1492 by The Netherlands , would it also be a complete other country?
Nothing got "founded" over there, everything was FOUND 🏴☠️
Some citys there are a name copy from here like harlem is here haarlem
At the end of the Anglo-Dutch war of 1665-1667, the Dutch got Suriname in South America and the British got the New Netherlands including New Amsterdam. Well, Suriname was a part of the Dutch kingdom until late twentieth century (maybe I should stress here that I am not a fan of colonialism), while the British lost their colonies to the newly formed American state in the eighteenth century. Interesting how many geographical names have a Dutch origin, like Brooklyn (Breukelen), Harlem (Haarlem) and Coney Island (rabbit island, konijneneiland), and as others mentioned Wall Street and Broad Way. Flushing (as in Flushing Meadows) is related to the Dutch port Vlissingen. The books by Russell Shorto are great, worth reading!
🇳🇱wish the red still whas orange in or flag.Nice vid again.
Highly I don't know if you like to read books, but if you do I highly recommend Russel Shorto's book "The Island At The Center Of The World", I read it, it's brilliant!
Look at you tube for Russell shorto and you will find more very interesting story he is rewriting the history of America
As someone who is gonna go to University to study history. There is SO MUCH history that it cannot be taught in school. The stuff that can be taught, especially in middle school, is just the tip of the tip of the iceberg. They have to be very selective.
True. But there are many history on tv. For childeren too. Everyone who started to say that this is new information for them .... uhm...... 🙄😏
Excuseer mij, no one can DE-SPICE the Dutch!
To short..
I agree Rene! We will do the others very soon. I may combine them if it's not too long :)

@@renekuipers4563 slightly confused by your comment. I absolutely wasn't talking about what you contributed, it was just addendum to enlarge the contribution from 4 to 6. In all honesty, I have nothing against horses though it has very little to do with the history of New Netherlands. There are various lecturers and series that delve deeper what the area north of Albany has. Albany is the final resting place of all the documents left over from the founding of the colony all the way to the end on 1643. That those survived being burnt to a crisp has to do with the English settlers. They wrote their history and that alot of that part did burn. What survived the fire from the Dutch documentation was due to the fact the English documents protected those 17.000 documents. It is the only reason why they could investigate the Dutch.
As a Dutchman myself, I'm even familiar with the founding of New Amsterdam in 1624 (New York, ), the American independence war (1775 - 1783), the civil war between North and South (1861 - 1865, this was about the souvereignity of states and slavery) and even the Great Indian wars from 1840 - 1890. All this knowledge is there, free to find on the internet!
Unfortunately the United States of America kept on going with warfare (WW I, WW II, Korea, Vietnam, Afghanistan, Iraq and let's not start about all the illegal military operations worldwide! Now I consider the States as the most agressive country in the world (as for the government, not the population), because it seems that the USA starts a war in every decennium... good for the economy they say! Fact: Not a single war in the 20th century has been fought out on American soil...
How can one not being interested in their own roots and history?
Wow... your comment is quite ignorant. Yes, the USA fought a lot of wars, and there are a lot I don't support, starting from the Iraqi war, when I got politically aware, but mentioning WWI and WWII in the same sentence, as if the USA were the aggressors there? Hell, the USA didn't even want to get involved in WW2, except from land lease. Even Korea and Vietnam (watch The Vietnam War by Ken Burns; changed my view a lot) weren't started by the USA (badly handled, especially in the case of Vietnam, but not started). And although I wouldn't deny the USA being aggressive, they are not the most aggressive. You might want to focus more on other theaters & countries as well, before you make such claims. Maybe do a bit of research of the former Soviet Union and today's Russia (which isn't just the government, but the people too, fed by even more disgusting "patriotic" propaganda than we can accuse the USA of; maybe talk to Finns, Estonians, Latvians, Lithuanians, Poles, Czechs, Slovakians, Romanians, Moldavians, Ukrainians, Tatars, Georgians, Chechens, Syrians, and even Afghans).
@@TimvanderWeyden
Maybe with WW I you're right, but with WW II the people didn't want to go into war, the government did. They actually knew that the Japanese were coming, as the USA was warned by New Zealand (or Australia). They let it happen to get a reason to get involved into WW II.
As for Korea, the USA had nothing to do with it, totally nothing, they just interfered with heavy weaponry to bring 'peace'. Look at the Korean situation now, it hasn't improved a lot.
As for Vietnam, it's clear and proven that the USA used a false flag to attack the NVA.
A so called attack on a Navy vessle, it never happened.
After the USA lost the war, South Vietnam was overrun by the NVA and VC.
Afghanistan in the 80's: The USA supported the Taliban to fight against the Russians, the USA had no business there. After this war, the USA dropped the Taliban, which pissed them off quite a bit. This actually was already the initiation of 9/11.
Iraq in the 90's: George W. Bush used a false flag to invade Iraq, there supposed to be weapons of mass destruction, never found. Fact: Saddam Hussein was a former CIA agent. The USA didn't mind him invading Kuweit. It was until the Saudi's started to complain that they didn't want Hussein to be in charge of Kuweit.
The second Iraqi war, initiated by George Bush jr. finished that job.
Then 9/11 occured. Then the USA invated Afghanistan again, just for hunting down one man: Bin Laden and they've killed him, leaving a country in misery.
As for Russia, yes, they also had a lot of wars lately. But compared to the USA, Russia has at least some historical ground to explain their actions, as the most of those countries that you name were part, or partially a part of the former USSR. I'm not saying that what they're doing is right, I'm fairly against war, but please, try to explain to me again that the USA are no agressor.
@@Random_user_8472 Thank you for demonstrating you know nothing about eastern Europe. Everything "historical" ruzzia claims is based on lies and oppression. There is absolutely no historical claim for ruzzia to do whatever. So no, ruzzia is a terrorist state, with an even bigger nonsense argument than the US invading Iraq.
That said, I never claimed the USA is NOT an aggressor, I said, they are not the biggest; ruzzia is. I really urge you to learn more about the wars the USA was involved in, including WW2, where the government was reluctant to fight, they really didn't want it, not even knowing Japan would probably attack.
like really ... always men....o name me a male leader who had a COMPLETE ERA OF TIME NAMED AFTER THEM... ill wait.... ffs
Akihito,.. or a less smartass one Napoleon.
@@ThW5 noone ever speaks of that era as "the napoleon age" at most "napoleonic wars" and even then it isnt nearly as prominent and well known as the victorian age
@@arposkraft3616 You are not aware that Victorian age is basically limited to the anglophonic history, I guess?
@@ThW5 it doesn't matter who the age is named after, being one person, or a family dynasty, the age will still only relate to the relatively small area of the country or region affected.
The ages named after monarchs who were there to see the British Empire at its height probably encompassed the most of the world's history at the time. But there was still plenty going on that is never covered by academia.
This seems so self evident that I can't see any purpose to the points being made.
@@coltsfoot9926 Sure, if you think that say, a French Historian would ever talk about Victorian China...
Good video Paul! Will see the others for sure, in fact I saw the next earlier today wat made me look for this...
