History of the Netherlands in 5 Minutes

Velders | November 06, 2008 A very quick (and necessarily incomplete) overview over 5000+ years of history of the Netherlands, intended for an international audience. It has a slightly geographical bias due to the audience the film was originally made for. If you think some things are missing or presented unbalanced: please post a film that discusses that part of Dutch history in greater detail. I left out a lot of important things, because the goal was a quick and dirty introduction. Further information is to be found elsewhere on the internet. Music: Intro: Wilhelmus (Dutch National Anthem) Hunebedden: Volk van Laaf - Efteling (Bakery theme) Romans: Hyrule Field Theme - Koji Kondo (Legend of Zelda - Twilight Princess) Golden Age: Theme from Soldier of Orange (Soldaat van Oranje) - Rogier van Otterloo French Rule/19th Century: Ne me quitte pas - Jacques Brel WW2: Theme from Schindler's List - Itzhak Perlman 20th Century: -Zing, Vecht, Huil, Bid, Lach, Werk en Bewonder - Ramses Shaffy Made originally for the exchange Youth & Landscape 2008 in Ellivuori Finland, thanks to Lanschapsbeheer Nederland (Geschiedenis van Nederland)
