A very cynical comment of History Matters, because Britain never gave a fuck about Belgium (or Portugal). Britain and Germany had been looking for an excuse to go to war with each other ever since 1870 so when Germany supported Austria in its war against Serbia and France supported Russia in defending Serbia against Austria, Germany found itself at war with France and took the short route and Britain had its excuse at last.

​@@ixlnxs "Britain and Germany had been "looking for an excuse to go to war with each other ever since 1870", no, Britain really wasn't. They had practiced a policy of "Splendid isolation" since the Napoleonic wars because the British viewed any intervention in Europe as too costly and not worth it. The French and Russians even asked them directly to join the war and they just refused since they didn't want to get involved. If what you say is true and they just wanted , had a staging ground to send their army to, and their reason was basically as good as France's. The British only decided to get involved after they basically had too, you cant just make a guarantee like that and break it when it's convenient (in respect to Europe), the public wouldn't allow it and it would of destroyed their reputation. The invasion (and subsequent warcrimes) that happened to Belgium also heavily pressured the government to fully commit to the war due to public opinion being extremely anti-German, where-as before the public didn't really care What's interesting about your comment is that your little note of "(or Portugal") shows that your claim is motivated by a hatred for Britain and not a desire to actually progress the conversation. Portugal is totally irrelevant to the conversation (and not really comparable to Belgium's relationship with Britain) and you didn't even elaborate on why you mentioned it.

(It was not simply limburg, also parts of Noord-Brabant and Zeeland. 2. The french didn't simply rush in to stop the dutch from taking over Belgium again it was Leopold who used his diplomatix network to get France's help thus confirming to the Belgian politicians that he was a vital part of the country. This would also see him handle most international affairs and hold quite some control over the ministers until like 1848-ish. 3. Atleast name drop 'La muette de Portici' ;) 4.

I would really like to see a video about Serbia from the Berlin congress (1878) untill the end of WW1 (1918) or around that period, it's very interesting to see the transition between Austria-Hungary and Serbia from being friends to WW1.

@@saladbruh2625 Yes, when I think there are even more things, we can even go to 1840s when Serbs in Vojvodina sided with Austria, thus stepping on Hungarian toes which they never forgave and Austrians never repaid, then decrease of Ottoman power, thus Serbia loosing its purpose as an Austrian ally and a buffer state- with its expansionist ambiton this only worsen. Of course the Russian activity in the region with Austrian betrayal of Russia in Crimean war, and the international suport for Serbs during the Herzegovina uprsing, Serbian internal violence between pro-Austrian Obrenovic and pro-Russian Karadjodjevic, the rise of Austrian project of Yugoslavism (J.J. Strossmayer) and Croatian catholic nationalism to counter Serbian orthodox nationalism, then finally Bosnian occupation amd Berlin congress. A lot of shit, this could even be a 10 min..

@@ComptGeorges exactly all those factors. When Serbia stopped being of use to Austria-Hungary as a buffer state because ottomans were weak and they have occupied Bosnia so there was no more need for a territory that was called "Vojna krajina" or a millitary sector that was once the border that Habsburg empire and ottomans shared and was populated by serbs whose task was to protect the Habsburg empire. There serbs had nicer pay them other serbs of the empire and better lives but the sector was abolished in i think 1888 because it was of no use anymore and serbs there lost their status and were not happy. And most of that territory was in Croatia and serbs back then were at least 40% of population in Croatian territories. They were untill WW2 as well but where either killed or forced to leave by the Ustasa during the war.

Thanks for covering the Netherlands.

Best video by far

I'm from that area of Limburg, which William I gained because he really, really wanted Maastricht. (Or more likely, the coal fields in the south.) And this is why the Netherlands have a funny shape. The northern border between Belgium and the Netherlands is pretty old (and pretty odd in Baarle-Hertog/Baarle-Nassau), the border with Germany is even older, but that funny bit sticking out from the bottom, wedged between Belgium and Germany, is because the Dutch troops always held on to Maastricht. So from 1830 to 1839 the area was predominantly Belgian, and representatives were sent to Brussels. After the Netherlands formally (and begrudgingly) accepting Belgian independence, the eastern, Dutch half of the province of Limburg became a duchy, with the Dutch King as the duke, and part of the German League. Why? To compensate the German League for the loss of part of Luxembourg to Belgium. After the collapse of the German League in 1866, the area finally became a province of the Netherlands again. But whereas each province has a Commissioner of the King (or Queen), the one in Limburg is unofficially referred to as the Governor. Just because this changed 157 years ago doesn't mean we should all of a sudden call this person "Commissioner of the King". And whilst every province has a "provinciehuis" (province house), the one in Limburg is called the Gouvernement.

2:48 that isorrowproductions reference!!

I've learnt more about my history in this

That was actually quite interesting

1:48 “It doesn’t matter how many people vote. What matters is who counts the votes.” -Joseph Stalin

And let's not forget Belgium's first king Leopold I, was the widowed husband of the presumptive heir to the British Throne Princess Charlotte and he was beloved enough by the British Government and people that even after Princes Charlotte died, he continued getting a subsidy from the Brits. Plus, Queen Victoria treated him as a favorite uncle.

My Four Time Great Grandfather fought in the Grande Armee at Waterloo. Also I loved the isorrowproductions joke.

1:16 It was indeed slave-trade that was abolished, but slavery itself continued to be legal until 1863 (and applied until the 1870s as compensation for plantation-owners in the Caribbean and Surinam) - contrary to what the sign said

@sirwolfnsuch

5 жыл бұрын

@ (1) Slavery was fully legal within the Dutch Empire. The Netherlands decided everything that happened within this empire. (2) Slavery was phased out slowly, and it were the slaves, rather than the Dutch government, that paid for this transition. (Btw the US Civil War was caused by the will of the South to EXPAND slavery, in order to sway the Senate in their favor. The idea to abolish slavery only happened later on.) (3) Slaves never were "cheap", meaning that the rate at which they had to work to death didn't differ notably. And if economics dictated anything, it was that punishment for escape was intensified. It also meant planters engaged more in lease-contracts for slave-labour, so you never worked with the slaves that only you possessed. Slavery didn't abate until it was abolished.

@@sirwolfnsuch 'Slavery was fully legal within the Dutch Empire.' That is actually wrong. In the Homeland Netherlands slavery was actually 'officially' illegal. A slave could get 'officially' his freedom when he got in the Netherlands itself. Of course this was a grey area practically. But most of the time there were very few slaves in the Netherlands itself and if they where there they acted as servants for the rich people most of the time.

Thank you so much. I am belgian and i hat no idea. Can you make an episode about flanders?

This part of history isn’t realy known to many people, even in the Netherlands! Love for your topics!

Could you do an episode about the rise of the Pahlavi Dynasty in Iran?

Another reason for discontent was power share. Brussels and The Hague were capitals for half of the time each, and political power in parliament was split quite evenly, although the Southern Netherlands had almost twice the population of the Northern Netherlands.

anyone else miss the 10 minute episodes?

Saying Belgium named itself Belgium after the region's name in Latin, is kind of true, but not really. The southern Netherlands had been known by that name for a while. So it wasn't like they had to invent a new name.

I don’t know why this one made me laugh more than most others. Something about Dutch catching fire… great stuff.
