As a Dutchman, I just want to make something clear. We are more than happy to see people try to pronounce our funky words since we too realise our language is just stupid at times. It made me smile seeing you try to pronounce IJsel, among other words. Have a great life to whoever is reading this :)

Carrots are orange because of the Netherlands🤭🤭🤭🤭😅😅😅 Back in the 10th century, carrots were originally white, purple, or pale yellow. So how did they get their distinct orange colour? The story goes that when William of Orange (King William III) helped the Dutch win independence from Spain in the 17th century, Dutch farmers honoured the King by turning their carrots orange through clever breeding. The new colour became hugely popular and is still the Netherlands official colour and the colour of the Dutch Royal family. The Dutch celebrate King’s Day by wearing orange and even the national sports teams wear orange.

Nonsene. William of Orange was Stadtholder, steward to the King of Spain until het led the revolt, a revolt because the King of Spain send the Spanish Inquistition on the Dutch and both protestants and catholics wanted religious tolerance. Stadtholder William III, also appointed but now by the States-General, a legislative body consisting of commoners, was the one who invaded England more than a century later and became king there to save it from the Dark Ages so the Dutch Republic would have a stable religious tolerant ally instead of another absolute rule catholic enemy out for destruction of protestantism and the Dutch Republic like Louis XIV and Spain.
