While looking up something completely unrelated -, Hepburn's family resorted to making flour out of tulip bulbs to bake cakes and biscuits;[32][33] a source of starchy carbohydrates; Dutch doctors provided recipes for using tulip bulbs throughout the famine.
@@lancemagmer9701 Very true. Audrey Hepburn suffered chronic health issues from malnutrition during the war, which led to her becoming an Unicef Ambassador to raise awareness about hunger.
The Tulip gifting to Canada isn't just for their assistance in liberating the Netherlands but also for the hospitality the Dutch Royal Family enjoyed while staying in Canada during the war. The most notable event being the birth of Princess Margriet which saw the Canadian government temporarily cede the maturnity ward she was born in to allow the Dutch citizenship and succession laws to not get complicated by having been granted Canadian citizenship thru Juis Soli. The Tulips were originally delivered to the hospital itself, but have now become a whole festival for Ottawa.
On your last sentence, Netherlands is one of the few nations to look with slightly rose coloured lenses at the french revolution. Usually a nation should be mad to be taking over by being invaded, getting puppeted and eventually annexed by France. But the brother of Napoleon that ruled over us in the later stages of the Napoleonic wars was a suprisingly great ruler for the context. He implenmented longlasting reforms, had a defying stance agianst Napoleon himself and was a foreign ruler that learned and spoke dutch that tried to be a ruler of the common people. King Willem I that replaced him after the congress of Vienna had a hard time stepping up in that shadow.
Aah yes Napoleons Brother who ruled over The Netherlands: The man who never learned The language and misspronounced The dutch word of King so badly that he called himself The Bunny of The Netherlands 😄 That Guy right?
@@Asahamana idk if what you said is true (though it checks out with some of the stuff in this video) the sheer fact that he made a genuine and concerted effort to learn and use the native language, when he easily could have relied on his native French, speaks volumes about the kind of monarch he wanted to be.
@@Asahamana yeah he was our konijnen koning, though the real popularity were the reforms itself. And that struggle lasted until a constitutional monarchy was set up with a parliament in 1848. The french emperor in the early 1800's happened to be a good absolutist ruler favouring the same ideas but did so in a totally different context. Meanwhile both Willem I and II struggled hard to keep their realm together. Prussian soldiers had to come in to squash uprisings in the cities and Belgium got its independence after a war and industrialised quickly afterwards. Netherlands only caught up in the second half of the 19th century.
Relating to the word Coney or in Dutch Konijn, when Napoleon put his brother in power in the Netherlands, because French doesn’t pronounce word final consonants, Louis pronounced Koning, the Dutch word for King as Konin, and came to be known as the rabbit of the Netherlands/of Holland. It was an endearing nickname that he accepted. The people of the Netherlands generally liked Louis Bonaparte, he even feuded with Napoleon because he took his job as king of the Netherlands too seriously and actually tried to make policies that benefited the Dutch people, rather than acting purely as an agent of French interests in the region.
One of the great ironies of the American Revolution is that the British Empire bounced back pretty well. The kingdom of France, Dutch Republic, and Kingdom of Mysore all suffered precipitous declines. The Spanish were already declining. Each of these had gone to war with Great Britain over past grievances or to regain territory.
It is very cool to walk up to a random tulip patch in a park in Canada and see a plaque that says that they are a gift from the Netherlands! I've only found the one in Edson alberta so far, but I'm sure there are a lot more!
Oh, very interesting to hear that there are Dutch influences in New York as well. We here in Indonesia (a former colony) sometimes use "the Bronx" to express less desirable part of the city, and that's an interesting ties with the term having Dutch roots.
Thank you for the Portland, ME/Halifax, NS wreath shout out. Halifax Explosion isn't as well know as it should be. An excellent example of tragedy bring people together across nations. Nova Scotia also sends Boston, MA the Christmas Tree, for their help.
Bronx resident here, and the Bronx doesn't really have a Dutch origin, it has a Sweedish one. Jonas Bronck was a Sweedish settler in New Amsterdam. One of the reasons that he was able to settle there is tulip mania, which was one of the reasons the Dutch government gave for taking over the administration of New Netherland. After the government took up the administration they allowed non Dutch people who weren't working for the West Indies company to settle in their land in the new world. On a side note I would also recommend Russell Shorto's works "Island at the Centrer of the World" and "Amsterdam".
Coney Island also works as an anglicised version because the Dutch word for rabbit konijn (pronounced konine, no relation to canine) sounds a lot like it. Same for long/lang island/eiland Cognates are fun.
I'd love to hear about John Church, who eloped with Angelica Schuyler (Alexander Hamilton's sister-in-law). He made a fortune selling arms to the Americans and the French during the American Revolution, but then moved to his family to France after the Revolution, then bought property in England and served in the British House of Commons for ten years. How was he able to do that and why wasn't he brought up on charges of treason? He and Angelica came back to the US with some of their children, where she died and then he went back to England, where he died.
While Canadians were heavily involved in the liberation of the Netherlands during WWII, the main reason for the tulips is that Canada hosted the future queen of the netherland during the war. One of the most important event was the birth of princess Margriet at Ottawa Civic Hospital. The maternity ward was declared extraterritorial or something so the princess would only have the dutch nationality.
This is a fantastic idea for a video series... important to include many of the debates and competing ideas surrounding historical events, and mistakes!
A recent scientific study suggested that consumption of caffeine before shopping increases spending by 50 percent, so save the Starbies until after the store.

Quick note not related to tulips. Canada sends a Christmas tree to Boston every year, not Portland. Easy mistake to made. I only know it cause I live in Halifax.
@@ecurewitz thanks for the help so long ago. I can't overstate how devastating the halifax explosion was. Imagine surviving the titanic then 2 years later that happened to you.
Overall I much enjoyed the Tulipmania series, and the Lies episode just added to that. I found this series and the former series that they did on the history of money were both great series 'to me' that when you see current events along with these series, really hammers home that when people don't educate themselves, history repeats itself. But the side aside...I was super surprised that Robert writes for Black Library. It made me feel today years old when I realised that the book I have been reading and quite enjoying slowly reading over the past few weeks, was written by Robert.
Dude that's the exact opposite takeaway that you were supposed to get. The whole point was this is NOT about how 'history repeats itself' when people don't educate themselves, it's about the distorting of history to make a point about the present
"I bit into what I thought was a raw onion and was surprised that it was bitter." There's the core of a joke somewhere in there but I'm not witty enough to make it.
Dutch uniforms vary because they didn’t have a standardized army, they used mercenaries. Standardized uniforms didn’t become a thing in Europe until the late 17th century and 18th century.
Speaking about underappreciated, most muskets and pistols that the colonial rebels used during the American war of independence were made by gunsmiths from the area around Luik, today Belgium. So you're welcome.
Surprised John Paul Jones didn't come up during Ibn Battuta's side trip 😏 Also, Weimar Germany, that's the cause I'm taking up for something for you guys to cover!
The worst damage to the initial 1912 gift (the earlier gifts had to be destroyed due to parasites infesting the trees) of the cherry trees from japan in Washington, DC occurred in the late 1930s when the Jefferson Memorial began construction. After Pearl Harbor there were some reports of people vandalizing the trees but the National Parks Service worked to protect the trees and re-named them “oriental”. The majority of DC’s trees today come from 1965 gift from Japan although you can still see some of the 1912 trees.
gotta love that about history if we are honest most decisions we see in history come from a place of emotion and not logic that is who we are as humans not logical but very emotional with bits of logic here and there
A former employer of mine was a child in the Netherlands during WWII. in addition to nearly dying of TB during the occupation, he was forced to survive by eating tulip bulbs. To this day, he resents the tulip, despite his country's association with them.
Never made the connection that you wrote The Infinite and The Divine, even though I have it on my shelf, thanks for all you hard work(and for writing the funniest non Cain 40k book).
I REALLY WISH, you'd put these on another channel, or in their own playlist, or somewhere that they could be excluded from the suggestions. I love you guys, but I also use this channel to sleep as well as watching for education and entertainment, and lies ALWAYS wakes me up because it's so radically different from the cadence of the rest of the series.
Me in the intro, half focused on ideas on if I tried my own had at history based videos, "But its useful to someone who's trying to make their own series"... very good timing that.
I’m debating doing the same! I’ve stumbled across so many fascinating topics while working on my family genealogy that I could do dozens of episodes just on stuff related to family members on my tree. Heck, my 2nd great grandmother could yield five episodes alone. I’d have to do so much research to match EC’s excellence, though!
Tulips are my favourite flower because it is one of the few I have come across that doesn’t instantly close my throat up. I am allergic to most flowers and lilies, yes my actual name is Lily, will cause my eyes & throat to swell shut in less than 2 mins.
Rob: super excited to name the original Dutch names for the burroughs and streets of NYC. Also Rob: Canada and the Netherlands have a Tulip relationship? Who knew that Canada has a history?
Wait what? I knew the name but never made the connection. Awesome, I had a lot of fun with the Infinite and the Divine, thank you. Silver Skull Chapter always gets a laugh whenever I stumble upon it.
I’ll bring it up again, how about Extra Prehistory, where every so often, you make a series and/or stand-alone about events that happen before humans came appeared. Such as the Permian Extinction, I know it’s not your field of expertise, but it could still work. So why not give it a shot.
Well you’re right and wrong. Right as it is not what most people when they think of history. But wrong because it’s the history of the Earth and life instead of the history of humans.
Have or are you going to do John Law? Great story and the real reason the French economy eventually collapsed leading to revolution. Did I Mention he spear headed the Mississippi Company economic bubble and murdered a guy in London?
Yep. It’s my dad’s from Vietnam, so it’s just magnetized up there permanently and gets moved around to accommodate other things a lot, so is often upside-down!
Yep. Because it's a crop someone has to grow, and it's not a super durable crop like a food staple. Then it needs to be shipped, possibly to the other side of the planet. In our modern world, it's kept alive using modern wizardry defiance of growing seasons so you can buy them 365 days a year. If you're ever in a situation where you need to buy flowers, skip the florist and head to your local craft store. Plastic and paper flowers will be a fraction of the price, still look good, and last forever.
@@AbsolXGuardian Still, a hundred dollars for twelve flowers is something I've never seen, even at a florist's. Now, I'm in Europe, so there might be other things at play, but still...
Seasonal surcharge, I imagine flower shops make a lot of their yearly income on Valentine's Day. Just like petrol is more expensive in summer in some places.
...Did Christianity ever actually square the circle on capitalism officially? Or did it just grow too big to be stomped out? You know. Beyond cynical stuff like Mega-Churches or Televangelists.
@@ferretyluv ...Right~ That crud. I'd actually managed to repress that Prosperity Gospel is a real thing, that's actually ruining the real world. Augh. Thanks, I guess?
@@sannerass9829 I think you should be proud that enough people consider your country's tulips to have aesthetic and artistic value that they are willing to pay 100$ for them.
@@arifhossain9751 thats a nice thought, would just recommend if you have the posibility to order bulbs online and plant them yourselfs. The flowers just stay for a week and the bulbs can regrow new onces for many years.
@@SenshiSunPower it's a book series I read the first of in high school and the rest of in 2021. Now just like In high school i know that bullying gets results, mostly depressing.
Can you guys please, please not discuss economic principles anymore? You covered the history of the tulip mania well, but you have a bad habit of throwing around terms like "capitalism" and "free market" despite having no idea what these terms actually mean. You're so well researched in every other area, and you normally do such good work. But you don't understand even the most basic principles of economics and I'm worried people will wrongly take you seriously on these issues and get seriously misled. I ask you, based on the normal integrity you show and the value you have for truth and accuracy, to admit that economics is your Achilles' heel and not try to pretend you know as much as the Dunning-Krueger effect is making you think you know.
How much do you have to bite your tongue when talking about economic issues since the rules have changed so drastically? Or are economic issues fair game?

The cherry blossom trees in DC were cut down in WW2? I didn't know that. That's just stupid!
That's cold hearted af, destroying an important cultural symbol of your enemy. Like imagine if Japan declared war on the US and killed a dozen eagles.
"/slash the british museum" lol
The Brits just got CALLED OUT
Do people really pay up to 100$ for a dozen tulips?? Jesus christ, they’re like 5€ at our supermarkets in NL.
*SHIPPING PRICES*
@@arifhossain9751 i know but in my opinion it’s insane people would pay so much for flowers.

I think you should be proud that enough people consider your country's tulips to have aesthetic and artistic value that they are willing to pay 100$ for them.
@@arifhossain9751 thats a nice thought, would just recommend if you have the posibility to order bulbs online and plant them yourselfs. The flowers just stay for a week and the bulbs can regrow new onces for many years.
I am once again asking if your going to do an episode on foundation
If the patrons vote on it. What do you mean by foundation?
@@SenshiSunPower it's a book series I read the first of in high school and the rest of in 2021.
Now just like In high school i know that bullying gets results, mostly depressing.

Third comment uwu
Can you guys please, please not discuss economic principles anymore? You covered the history of the tulip mania well, but you have a bad habit of throwing around terms like "capitalism" and "free market" despite having no idea what these terms actually mean. You're so well researched in every other area, and you normally do such good work. But you don't understand even the most basic principles of economics and I'm worried people will wrongly take you seriously on these issues and get seriously misled. I ask you, based on the normal integrity you show and the value you have for truth and accuracy, to admit that economics is your Achilles' heel and not try to pretend you know as much as the Dunning-Krueger effect is making you think you know.
They botched physics and mathematics even worse
How much do you have to bite your tongue when talking about economic issues since the rules have changed so drastically? Or are economic issues fair game?
you guys spend too much money on laborious animations when you could just paste in real life paintings from the era
