Another thing about Zwolle is during WW2, it was liberated by a single one-eyed French Canadian soldier named Léo Major. A street is named after him in the town itself. As a little bit of personal trivia, someone I know from the Netherlands was born in Zwolle, in a hospital that had been around for decades, and she surmises that if it wasn't for Major, that Hospital would have likely been destroyed by allied artillery.

Just adding some background. The Spanish king, which he worked for was Charles V, who reigned over large portions of Europe. He traveled and visited most of his lands and was respected and a decent leader. The Netherlands were also part of the Holy Roman Empire. Charles successor, King Philip II kinda changed the deal with the Netherlands and forced catholicism and higher taxes on our country. Therefore that sentence was mentioned, we used to be a fairly happy part of the Empire...we respected Spanish leadership, but the oppression since Philip II made us declare independence.

The Enschede fireworks disaster was wild. I was born and raised in that city. At the time, I was still in high school. There were two massive explosions, a few minutes apart. We felt the first one, but it was a slight tremor. I asked my mom if she felt it too. As we were talking, the second major explosion occurred and it felt like a mini earthquake. The thing is, we were about 5km (~3 miles) from where it happened. Pretty far all things considered. I thought maybe the nearby gas station had exploded. We looked to the north and saw this MASSIVE black smoke cloud and turned on the TV, realizing it was so much worse than we thought. Apparently it was visible from dozens of kilometers away. It wasn't long before all the information came in. The area it happened in was close to our childhood home, near downtown. The district has since been built up again and it's one of the fancier neighborhoods in my city these days, but holy crap, that was insane. The whole district was cordoned off for a very long time. It was just GONE. More than 1200 people lost their homes. About as many were injured. And a few dozen people lost their lives. Definitely one of the darkest days in my city's history.

Fun fact about Belgium we had 9 provinces. So they build the atomium with 9 spheres but then they separated Brabant in between Flemish and Walloon so now we have 10 prov.

to add some more context regarding some province names: 1. There is also a Limburg in Belgium. We call the Dutch one Nothern Limburg. As the name might suggest, they used to be one, until the Belgian Revolution officially ended in 1839. 2. The two Brabants have a third province in the middle: Antwerp. Join them together and you have more or less the historical Duchy of Brabant.

The road quality is piss poor and trips usually take twice as long. Maintainence of city properties like city hall, parks, schools and even the ditches along the roads etc are Eastern European like. To a point where stadiums collapse, fixing roads will take multiple years and travelling by bus or train gets increasingly more difficult and the weeds are so high you are unable to see whats going on on the opposite direction. Oh and in Nijmegen we throw our trash on the street like New Yorkers, not in dumpsters or underground like the rest if the Netherlands. So the city is littered with trash.

Nice video! You mentioned Frisians speaking their own language, but you forgot to mention the other officially recognised languages of the Netherlands.

Besides, on the ABC islands, Papiamentu is an official language, and on the SSS islands it is English. Some mistakes: Flevoland is NOT 100% made of polders. There were two small islands, Urk (inhabited) and Schokland (uninhabited) that became part of the mainland, and are now part of Flevoland. Johan de Witt was NOT a prime minister. He was raadspensionaris or grand pensionary, and unlike a prime minister he had no fellow ministers (this is why it is strange to call him a prime minister) and no head of state above him.

Speakers of Low Saxon (I don't know the situation of Limburgers exactly) have started to set up organisations in support of the different dialect of the Low Saxon language and I slowly see things change in my region, from my parents' generation being hit by the teacher for speaking Low Saxon to active support for the regional languages in school, and more and more speakers realizing their native language is something to be proud of.
