Description:

In this video we'll have a look on hot The Netherlands manage to fight and win the war against the ocean. You see, in the last 7 centuries, The Dutch people managed to actually expand it's territory without fighting a war against Belgium or Germany, its neighbors. The Dutch came with a genius idea of enclosing their land and drain out the salty water back into the ocean, forming this way what they called plunders.
We'll talk more about all of this in this video, so make sure you do not miss it.

Hope you'll enjoy the video!

Transcript:

How does the Netherlands increases its territory every year?
This is the map of Netherlands from the 14th century, where the north sea was eating a lot The Netherlands land. Rising sea levels would normally make The Netherlands to shrink in size even more by the present time, instead, this is how The Netherlands look today, it expanded its territory with 18% in the last 700 years. You see, this new land represents the spoils of a war, but not with a neighbor country as it’s usually the case, but with the ocean.
The final blow The Netherlands gave to the ocean was this massive dyke built in 1932. This enclosure Dijk is 32 kilometers long and by separating this part of The Netherlands they actually transformed the sea into a fresh water lake. They drained out the salty water while this river continuously provided fresh water instead.
What’s truly amazing is that this polders here: Flevolandpolder and The Noordoostpolder didn’t exist before the Afsluitdijk and represent the new land of The Netherlands created in the last 90 years which is around the same size as the Metropolitan area of Paris.
