In honor of traveling through the Netherlands just a few days ago, I thought it would be a good time to feature a popular YouTube video (with over three million views) explaining the difference between the two.
Video of the Week: Holland vs the Netherlands
Phew!! Could I have a print-out of that please? (or run it in slow-mo) Jean
Johnny Jet = Educational Powerhouse. Who knew!
Happy belated Canada Day….from your friend Charles (who’s father hails from North Brabant, by the way).
Phew! Now I know it all. although I always knew the country was the Netherlands but didn’t realize how the confusion about Holland came from i.e. South and North Holland. Thanks for sharing this.
It is even confusing for us Dutch!
Fun and educational…if you like history and geography. Thank you.
Excellent educational vid! Just the thing that we can use to test out our Dutch friend’s knowledge of geography/history.
