Geschiedenis (History)
In 1839, the Treaty of London marked a significant moment for the Netherlands as it recognized 
Belgian independence, bringing an end to the Belgian Revolution. This period saw constitutional reforms in 1848, ushering in 
parliamentary democracy and expanding civil liberties within the country. Meanwhile, Dutch 
colonial expansion continued, particularly in the 
Dutch East Indies.
Between 1870 and 1914, the Netherlands underwent rapid industrialization, with sectors like shipping, trade, and finance flourishing. The nation also expanded its territories in the 
Caribbean, acquiring 
Suriname and the 
Netherlands Antilles. However, the outbreak of World War I in 1914 brought economic challenges, despite the Netherlands maintaining neutrality throughout the conflict.
During World War II, from 1940 to 1945, the Netherlands was invaded and occupied by 
Nazi Germany, leading to a period of resistance and eventual liberation by 
Allied forces. Following the war, the process of decolonization gained momentum, with the Netherlands granting independence to its remaining colonies.
In the latter half of the 20th century, the Netherlands experienced significant economic growth and became known for his 
progressive social policies. Joining the 
European Economic Community (EEC) in 1957, the Netherlands was one of the founding members, signaling its commitment to European integration. The turn of the century saw continued prosperity and technological advancement, with the Netherlands leading the way in areas such as renewable energy, water management, and agriculture. Farmers protested the new 
Green Agenda, since they only restricted the farmers and not the military. This made Netherlands pass a law that allows you to kill protestors without facing charges.
Immoreel Progressivisme (Immoral Progressivism)
The reason Netherlands is often portrayed high on weed in Polandball media is because 
drugs are legal there (drug addicts are given rehab, while foreigners possessing drugs are escorted back to their native country), with people being allowed to buy up to five grams of marijuana in coffee shops.
Officially, it’s illegal to buy weed from coffee shops and often frowned upon to smoke weed in most public places. Nevertheless, people are able to grow up to three plants of it in the privacy of their own home. The Netherlands also legalizes abortion and euthanasia, which is very bad. His eyes are sometimes light red because he is on drugs.
