Explore the remarkable history of the Netherlands, beginning with the Dutch Golden Age of the 17th century—a time of extraordinary economic prosperity and cultural flourishing that established the Netherlands as a global leader in trade, science, military power, and the arts.

Transition to the challenges of the 20th century, when World War I disrupted trade, caused shortages, and brought a large influx of Belgian refugees, revealing the Dutch commitment to humanitarian support despite limited resources.

Finally, examine the courage of the Dutch Resistance during World War II, when, despite its neutral stance, the Netherlands was invaded by Nazi Germany. Discover how this movement engaged in acts of sabotage and provided vital support to the Allies. Conclude with a look at the Netherlands today: a stable, prosperous nation known for its progressive policies, robust economy, and influential role in global diplomacy and trade.
