Het Wilhelmus is the national anthem of the Netherlands and is the oldest national anthem in the world, though the words of the Japanese national anthem (not the music) date back to the ninth century. Although it was not recognized as the official national anthem until 1932, it had remained popular with the Dutch people since its creation. It is also one of the very few anthems that does not focus on the history or military accomplishments of the people it represents, on the contrary, it tells of William of Orange, his life and why he is fighting for the Dutch. As a result, the anthem is written as if it were sung by William himself. The song is remarkably peaceful. The tune of the Wilhelmus is based on a French soldiers' song: "Autre chanson de la ville de Chartres assiégée par le prince de Condé" (English: "Another song about the city of Chartres under siege by the Prince de Condé"), which was popular around 1569 during the siege of Chartres. "Dutch blood or German blood?": There is an ongoing confusion and dispute as to what the author meant with "Duytschen bloedt" in the text, as the contemporary Dutch word "Duits" (being the modernised form of "Duytsch/Duijtsch") means "German". Another explanation is that "Duytsch" was at the time a variation of Dietsch meaning Dutch. Both could be correct as William of Nassau was born in Dillenburg in the county of Nassau in Germany and that it referred to William's German (rather than Dutch) descent. Yet others claim, however, that it referred to the Dutch in the sense that William felt one of them rather than belonging to them ethnically. "Duits" is often replaced by "Diets", a cognate of "Duits", "Dutch", "Deutsch" and "Deitsch" but meaning "Dutch" rather than German. This is done mostly, or even exclusively, because of anti-German sentiment resulting from the Dutch experiences in the Second World War. Hence many Dutch people after the war sung that William was of "Diets" blood, rather than of German blood as they did not like the notion of their Father of the Fatherland being of the same heritage as the people they hated so much during the 5 year occupation. Although the exact meaning is still, and will probably remain, unclear the official version of the Dutch national anthem uses "Duits". "Why honouring the king of spain?" At the outset of the war, William of Orange-Nassau was elected Stadhouder, meaning he still represented the king's authority. Originally, William and the Dutch people had no misgivings with honoring the king, as long as the king let them self-govern and respected their autonomy. The Dutch originally felt that the King of Spain had good intentions, but was receiving bad counsel from his Spanish delegates, which, subsequently, resulted in the king formulating bad policies. The Dutch rebels did not withdraw their loyalty to the king early on in the struggle. They only wished that their rights were honored and that they didn't have to be subservient to Spanish policies. ------------- Nederland Nederlandene Niederlande Netherlands Nederlando Οι Κάτω Χώρες Nederlân ნიდერლანდი Paesi Bassi 네덜란드 オランダ Nizozemska Nederlandia Нідерланди Hulandes Niderlandy هلند Neerlandês Neerlandezǎ Olanda Нидерланды Neerlandés ประเทศเนเธอร์แลนด์ Nizozemsko Yr Iseldiroedd 荷蘭 Nederländerna Pays-Bas הולנד هولندا Alankomaat

Wonderful cycle paths make this possible as you can see in this video of a new housing estate in Assen. This is not "bike to school day" or any other kind of special event. It is what happens on every single day of the year. When this video was taken, the outside temperature was -2 C ( 28 F ). This is a primary school. Secondary schools are spread much further apart and children cycle up to 20 km each way to get to them. We are running Study Tours so that interested parties can see this for themselves: http://hembrow.eu/cycling/studytour.html

This was sung by the Dutch band Teach-in at the 1975 Eurovision Song Contest in Stockholm. The Band sung first and won. The song was heavily criticised for it's childish, non-sensical lyrics, but remains one of the catchiest songs to have won the contest. Unfortunately for the Dutch this would be their last win as of yet.

God bless those who save the horses. Their names at last. The video answers why we are with horses - they make us better, stronger, bigger then ourselves could be without them. This was sent to me in 2006 as a file----I have no idea who the creator was but it is the first edit. I take no credit for photography or music or any content but it is priceless and inspiring. For almost 2 years I have tried to find out the horsewomen's names. Finally I have. The 6 women (ages 19-40)who rode that day were honored by their government for their bravery and courage for riding into frigid flood waters that had hidden ditches, strewn with broken fencing and other hazards. The waters were due to rise with the next storm. The horses caught by a sudden storm were weakening and many were showing signs of giving up. The nature of the horse herd kept them from trying to save themselves. For three days the media broadcasted the unsucessful attempts to rescue them. Then a posting appeared on the friesian horses forum, by Micky Nijboer: "horses and riders sought.....Only experienced riders with horses without fear of water" could try the idea of leading them off the small mound of land. They would meet the next day and the video is what they accomplished by risking themselves and their horses. I recently found out the women' and horses' names Susan Fransen riding Blizzard, Micky Nijboer riding Berber, Antje Dijkstra riding Humphrey, Hinke Lap riding Guinever, Christina Stormer riding Perfeft and Fardow de Rueter riding King. Fardow de Ruiter was 33 at the time of the rescue. She rode her horse King, the Paint Stallion. Her guest book can be found at http://www.tboek.nl/gastenboek/colouredstable http://www.colouredstable.com I know this video has been missing so here it is - pass it on to those who need inspiration to suceed when everthing else has failed. Please see for a better understanding of the dangers 1:47 one of the riders horse trips with the island horses moving forward.

Will only work with Quicktime and VLC Mediaplayer!! Other version comming soon. This is a German propaganda movie made in 1942. It shows the invasion of the Netherlands, how the Netherlands was a threat to the Ruhrgebied in Germany. The Netherlands could be used by the English to take the Ruhrgebied... The job of the Fallschirmjägers here was to take the bridge of Moerdijk, and so the Panzers could roll into Vesting Holland (fort Holland). This material is never shown before anywhere, except on the Dutch television once. It has Dutch subtitles, but these where not added by me.

Freedom series. The Netherlands.

weird german straight edge dudes testing the insane water slide at the Tikibad Duinrell, Netherlands. This ride is called the cyclone, I believe. With even weirder audio I found somewhere. The very short ride after that is called "De Pelikaan", which is dutch for "your nuts will hurt, no matter how you put your legs".
