- 3 Ways Dutch Independence is Different | GSUSE 'Het Plakkaat van Nederland.' The Dutch are famous for The Microscope, WiFi - and the Declaration of Independence?! Yes. It's called 'Het Plakkaat van Nederland' from 1581.
Inspired by the TV show "Het Pronkstuk van Nederland," with clips from the AVROTROS TV show.
Thanks to Irene & Paul from Het Nationaal Archief - YES they are working on a new display for Het Plakkaat van Nederland. I'll see you there for the unveiling.
Edited by Shapiro -
with Motion Graphics from Dave Felida, Zoomin.tv.

"Hey, can I copy your homework?"
"Sure, but alter it a little so they can't see you've copied it."
You know your a good comic when you can make a Dutch crowd laugh 👍🏼
Dutch crowds in a nutshell: I once had someone come up after a show & say “I smiled very hard.”
@@gregshapiro you got the memo tough, Dutch English is kind of cute 😉
Your dutch accent is impressive, mister Shapiro.
Only we had like a couple years break in the 80 years war.
Both were like "IM TIRED"
You had the Organists, who wanted war. And you had the Republicans who wanted peace. What followed was a compromise of a badly needed 12 years truce.
Can't fight for 80 years yourself, soldiers gotta go home and make baby-soldiers.
That's quite a black and white version.. The truce was needed because the Netherlands was on the brink of civil war. Also, a lot of soldiers of the Tercio de Flandes were not Spanish, but from other Habsburg territories.
In reverse, some 'Dutch' soldiers were not Dutch, but mercenaries from Germany and reinforcements from England.
Back then, the Netherlands were a rich and productive area and invested in trading. The wealth was used to fund mercenary armies, which was not uncommon in those days. So the Dutch themselves were perfectly capable of making more baby soldiers while entire mercenary armies were doing the fighting.
Mercenaries were unreliable, what the Dutch stood out in, was being reliable in payment of them and also superior leadership. We had the right men for that job at the time. After the 80 years war, leaders learned from the lessons the Dutch war of independance gave.
There is also the consideration that Spain as a colonial nation, was suffering from a multitude of threats, the Ottomans in the mediterranean, rivalry with France and England over colonial endeavours and contested lands previously owned by the HRE instead of Spain. Germans were willing to stick it to them too. On top of that, Spanish soldiers suffered the same things the Roman soldiers did before them: the harsher climate and the long distance from home.
cheers
well guess who's both dutch and spanish......
Someone with a sense of histoty, finally...
Histoty is very important
marieke Elzer Probably more sense of our history than most Dutch. At least I had no idea about this document, but I am now going to read up on it!
No
If the dutch had sense of history they would stop their RETARDED MORONIC IDIOTIC claim that "Sint Nicolaas is ....a turk" ....fucking idiots....read some history.....his mother was Greek, his father was Greek .....and turkey was formed 1000 years AFTER his death...... and how does a muslim country has anything to do with a christian holy man ? ......morons....
Ellinon Enosis who ever claims that? srsly? I live in the Netherlands and I've only heard that nonsense once...
And the Netherlands was the first country to recognize America's independence. Because of that alot of other countries did as wel.
arno herfst Nee hoor, Marokko deed dat al enkele jaren voor ons. Maar wij waren wel het eerste machtige land dat de VS erkende.
+Tim
Incorrect. The Dutch were the first to recognize it at Fort Oranje, where they hailed the independence.
Because, we could trade ammo and guns to the US of A. Trade! And like every major European power that recognized the US of A, it was a big F.U. to the Brits.
@@dutchpatriot17 True. When the Dutch saw the American Flag, they were the first country that gave the flag its first gun salute.
En NL verkocht wapens
aan de N.- Amerikanen,
tegen wil van het VK! *
* Dit was oorlog tussen
de VS(vanA) en het VK!
We hebben ook de onderzeeer uitgevonden.
De snorkel eigenlijk
en bluetooth. i think
Whaha srs?
nouje het geinige is is dat een nederlander de onderzeeër heeft uitgevonden onder leiding van een britse admiraal wat vervolgens gestolen werd door de duiters hernoemd als een U-boat en toen werd gebruikt tegen engeland.. lol
In1998able Inderdaad. Wikipedia: “Dutch Inventions” - Nederland heeft zo’n beetje de halve wereld uitgevonden zo te lezen aan de enorme lijst daar
I think someone just earned a honorary Dutch citizenship!
Trofknarf Alias that cursus is totally bs
*Trofknarf Alias* Sounds great. Unfortunately we can't do that to the other people born in The Netherlands who don't know a thing about Dutch History either.
If you would speak the dutch language good enough the first sentence isn't as horible
Julian De Leeuw true, he was just making a joke about it (mocking his own language)
Ik moet zeggen dat deze gast voor een voornamelijk amerikaans sprekend persoon de klanken in het nederlands echt goed uit kan spreken
dat vind ik dus ook. Leuk item dit!
En het is "well enough" niet good enough. Shame on you.
Flint 1768 lmao dit is denk ik de meest domme verbetering die ik ooit heb gezien. Sorry maar in mijn optiek mag t allebei gewoon. Tis niet dat good een woord is dat je niet mag gebruiken ofzo
Your humour is getting more Dutch/English. I think you have b come funnier. American humour is more obvious and less about embaressment.
It's a fronthanded insult.
+ shlibber
I guess in a way, but it's a thing: nobody really likes American 'humor'. For some reason it just doesn't work.
May be a cultural thing, I don't know, but American 'humor' has become a bit of a byword for something that's just not funny. It's happened to me that during a meeting about that company having a really shitty year with loads of fines and loads of losses, that the guy presiding and presenting the figures said that year's figures read like American humour.
Not to say that all Americans are unfunny, or anything like that, but generally speaking, American humour isn't funny, I noticed that also while I was in the US.
Dutch/English humour is way better, lol.
Americans need a fake audience to laugh, that is just pathetic.
@shlibber
Some examples from Dutch:
- Flodder
- Jochem Meyer
- New Kids
- De Luizenmoeder(which is fairly new)
Some examples from the UK:
- Monthy Python
- Mr. Bean
UK and The Netherlands have a very Black sence of humour. But that is way funnier.
Just Me It's very self-depricating. Much of the humour of North-Western Europe is generally focussed on making yourself look like a piece of shit. Which is funny because everyone is a piece of shit but often doesn't acknowledge it.
Thank you so much Mr. Shapiro.
Funny, the Declaration of Independence is made on paper from a paper mill from Zaandam in The Netherlands because they had at that time the best paper quality in the world.
That was funny actually, nice one, Thanks!
Hele goeie!!! TOP!
thank you for this, you're awesome, bedankt
God i love this channel! As Dutchman I have to agree that too few dutch people know of het Plakaat van Verlatinghe
Bedankt Greg. Echt grappig.
Your energy is infectious😂 Subbed and liked.
Very amusing to watch. What a nice speecher. Greg shows a mirror in wich i never saw myself before.
Love this vid... You're a great comedian Shapiro. Don't ever leave the Netherlands please! :-)
Great video, love your humor.
Hahahaha die heb je verdiend! Geweldig
Dude, you are awesome! Goed bezig!
Well done Greg!
Goed gedaan weer Greg!
It's what caused the split between Belgium and the Netherlands. Until that point, there was no difference, the entire area was called the 17 united provinces of the Netherlands. When the war with Spain started, all provinces fought Spain. However, Spain was able to keep the southern provinces. This in turn caused a brain drain from Belgium to the Netherlands, followed by the golden century for the Netherlands (lots of trade, knowledge, ...), and a black century for Belgium (no trade, oppression by Spain, ...). Much later, Belgium was reunited to the Netherlands for a few years. But the culture difference had become too big, which resulted in the Belgian independence from the Netherlands in 1830. It's still visible as a culture difference today, where the Dutch are known to be very direct (they had nobody to fear for centuries) while the Belgians generally need to know someone quite well before saying the truth.
Sander Deryckere not really true, the low countries were different duchies that fell under a personal union with Burgundy (marriage and such, good old medieval age). When the duke of burgundy died spain inherited these lands and incoorperated them into the habsburgian empire, wich covered austria, parts of italy and spain.
This all went right until Philips II became king of spain and started taking his dick out in public, together with protestantism rising in the northern low countries this sparked feelings of independence and long story short belgium stayed catholic and under spanish rule while the northern low countries formed to be the 7 united provinces of the netherlands.
Fun fact both the Dutch and the Belgian called themselves "Belgian" living in the "Netherlands" so we both took a part of our old name
And in 1944, we signed the treaty that would semi-unify the Low Countries again in the form of the Benelux. So in a way we've been together again for 70 years now.
No it was not. In the union of arras the southern provinces swear allegiances to the spanish king which was kind of a backstab to the northern provinces.
Yes but those regions are part of France nowadays.
Hahahaha😂 geweldig dit
Your command over both languages is something I strive for
this is awesome thx for this video, greetings from holland!
Hilarious! I love it!
I enjoy this way too much 😂😂
Funny to see this pop up on my feed; did a paper on it a fair number of years ago in school and not a lot of people seemed to know about it.
You are perfect , nothing else to be said , loved this video , im a dutch man myself kinda proud about my country and its accomplishments
Cool video! I like history like this. And I love your Dutch. Greetings from the Netherlands.
I really enjoy this!
I love your videos
Holly shit you speak Dutch so good, i never heard a foreigner speak Dutch so well
You sir, were quite good. Thank you.
You're a cool guy, Greg. Always thought so!
The last scene hilarious
Dank je wel ...
so you have summoned GEKOLONISEERD
I remember first seeing Greg during some student comedy thingy in Wageningen. I was excited because all kinds of good comedians would come + that American dude... ugh... American humour is just painfully bad. Then he came and was actually funny!!! Loving Greg ever since
Brilliant!
This is amazing
The Dutch uprising is the ripple effect that changed the world.
Since 1581
Informative! And impressive indeed, well done Dutchies.
both declarations were signed in local exile, while the capital was under siege, so Delft and Philadelphia share a common occurance of being a temporary capital, while the enemy thought it could halt the revolution by sieging the capital.
Well said sir 👌🏻 lets hope one day this would really happen
great video, and you speak very good dutch.
It's so weird that I didn't learn ANYTHING about this on school, it makes me fucking mad that I didn't. And that, besides a piece of paper in a museum nobody visits, there is NOTHING about it anywhere. You are the first guy ever, at least that I've seen (On tv/internet or even offline), to mention this thing. But we actually celebrate some sort of Independence day. Only ours isn't with fireworks or huge spaceships (SORRY HAD TO MAKE THAT JOKE). It's just a lot of music, partying, and once in 5 years a day free from work. The fireworks however, go to the Netherlands on 31 december between 18.00 and 1 januari 2.00 am. THATS FIREWORKS xD Good, and even funny video. Me like :)
Remco F. Gerritsen maybe you did not pay attention enough.
Drumsgoon nothing to do with paying attention. They would talk about WW2 for weeks and the 100 year war between Spain and Engeland for months but the history of our own country besides slavery and the golden age was never a huge subject. And history was one of my favorite parts in school.
@ Remco : Klopt tussen 1820 en 1970 werd op de lagere school zeer uitgebreid verteld over de 80-jarige oorlog (Als jij een goede leraar had was dat vele malen leuker dan rekenen en taal), maar daarna heeft men het geschiedenis onderwijs meer op projectbasis ingericht, omdat men het de kinderen niet langer wilde aandoen om al die jaartallen uit het hoofd te leren. Aan de andere kant jij kan niet verwachten dat jij alles op school leert. Wat houdt jij tegen om zelf een aantal goede boeken over de Nederlandse geschiedenis te lezen ? Er zijn de laatste decennia tientallen verschenen.
Als je dit niet op school gehad hebt heb je niet opgelet...
We don't celebrate Independence day, we celebrate liberation (of the Nazis) day, not quite the same.
Also Buddy , you are making quite a claim there with liberalism etc. 10 years ago I learned about the 80 years war and everything
The end was truly awesome
So good!
I was happy with that one. Especially the comments! There’s a whole separate history chapter there.
@@gregshapiro Ja dat klopt zeker!
Super speech. Compliment for this lesson.
Lol, your pronunciation is really funny yet accurate :)
Well done mate
Held!
You are very right, mister Shapiro!
Skating to work😂 we don’t even have ICE to skate on for more than a week😂
We made the microscope AND the telescope. Galileo only made it more practical, but we did make it as the first.
Love the headline. lol . If we were talking about England, The Headline would be ' 3 Ways Pommy Independence is Different'. English people refer Dutch as being from Nederland, but actually it refers to Duits, meaning people from Duitsland or Germany if you prefer the Roman version.
The Dutch football banners still say 'Hup Holland,' even though the official name is now 'Netherlands.'
@@gregshapiro lol. Funny you mentioned that, I ordered a Nederlandse football flag on ebay last world cup. The add showed a picture saying Nederland, so I bought it. When I received the package, I opened it and looked at the flag with the words ' The Netherlands' on it. lol say no more.
Oh, common, Dutch language sounds quite nice (or funny, or interesting, whatever)! In early 1990s I listened to local techno music radio, that often was retranslating some Dutch radio, and listening to DJ bubbling in that cool "I have stocked nose" accent in between songs was a part of the experience.
TotalRookie_LV i love that people from other countries take interest in our culture, my man ur always welcome
geloof me dat is het niet klinkt nogal grof
TotalRookie_LV
Its mostly seen as harsh because of the G's and im dutch but i cant say the hard G i can only say a soft G (same with the r) and how he said the G's was really exegerated
Hahha
LH Streaming
Noord holland, specified naarden
Mijn ouders zijn bijde van bussum
Ik had toen ik in groep 1 & 2 zag veel moeite met praten dus ik moest logopedie volgen maar ik heb nooit echt de r en g kunnen doen
AWESOME! 😃😃😃😃😃😃👏👏👏👏👏👏
He didnt even say weed at first. Good job
I'am Dutch but did not know this. Thx man. :)
Greg is such a boss (Greg is zo'n baas)
Saw your apperance live at the dutch television
i knew you were partly dutch because you pernounced the dutch words correctly, heel erg mooi
Brilliant.
Hmm, nice piece. But we were always different and will always be different, greetz from the Netherlands.
Wow man! I only know you from the Netherlands Second from last year, but this is good! I actually didn't know about Het Plakkaat der Verlatinghe so it's interesting for Dutch people to watch this too. Often video's made about the Netherlands by Americans who moved here are really boring because they tell things that are so obvious to us and sometimes even untrue, but you're doing great.
I agree that the opening line is a little less poetic that the one of the declaration of independence.
Because Dutch history, is history too!
1:50 - klemtoon or emphasis is the trick to read it...
Skating to work. We don't do that. LOL
Weer wat geleerd.
I like your Dutch pronounce, extra points granted, thumbs up, also good research of history
😂😂😂😂 doe je lekker hoor(you are doing nice)
hey, my fellow cheeseheads , what about we make a "Best American of the Netherlands Award", and give it to Greg Shapiro ?
I feel like I keep giving myself that award - which is perfectly in keeping with many Dutch awards.
@@gregshapiro MovieIndustrie awards itself too Emmies,Gammies etc ; so sure why not 🤣🤣🤣
like a golden stroopwaffle-award or sumpthin' 😂
Skating to work :D there is not a single dutchman doing that :D
I dare you to ask average dutch people on the street if they know what the "Plakkaat van verlatinghe"is. I'm pretty sure you will not find many who know...........
Or ask about Dutch discipline which has become the standerd in military training thanks to Maurits van Oranje whom whe Dutch can give thanks for winning the 80 year war. I blame education for the common lack of knowledge on these parts.
I am afraid you'r ar right sad but true
Our schools are quite good compared to other western countries (for example the US), modern day kids are only interested in WW2 when it comes to history, but there's only so much history you can give in 1-3 years, but the Plakkaat van Verlatinghe and the 80 years war are definitely discussed and taught, people just don't care enough and forget.
@Thatshow ED I was definitely taught about the 80 years war and the plakkaat van verlatinghe in high school...
Kaatje Kat We learn it at school
The Dutch didn’t invite Wifi, Australia did. A Dutch guy did invent Bluetooth though..
Replacing the song at the end of the video with the Dutch Anthem would be a nice touch!
This man has so much power in it's voice. And it's Dutch is good ass well.
It's been months since the last time there was ice to skate on, now we all have to swim to go to work. The canals in amsterdam are so full with people you can't see water anymore.
Good video
"When the American President comes to open this museum"...... Say what???
Damnit i love this man
Ik heb gesubbed
Fun fact; even the paper that the American declaration of Independence was writen on came from Zaandam.
One moment i click on a video beacause of the title. The next moment i realize you could vote before the finale wich i did(yes before your beautiful speech) and then i see myself sitting there in this video.....
It's a small world. By the way you can now get the Pronkstuk van Nederland Plakkaat van Verlatinghe poststamp.
Wat goed!!!
1:50
It actually does if you can pronounce it :p
But props to you! Not a lot of people try to pronounce such as well as you do!
Dude this guy's pronunciation is really good for an American!
Probably because he is an American-Dutch actor ;)
Yeah you know us voor wifi but also for bluetooth😉😂
Being dutch I love this. Fantastic!
Your dutch is pretty good !!
I will do this in dutch, Greg ik dank U.
gotta say, the Dutch pronciation of words is on point
Ik ga stuk om zijn "Nederlands" 😂
We don’t skate to work. We just drive and maybe sometimes cycle
