@hbdchick interesting stuff to know. Maybe partly why Netherlands had republic and open society later?
.@Pale_Primate that's where i'm going with this, yes. (^_^) question i have: who settled the netherlands post-1400?
@hbdchick Well, I think it was part of Holy Roman Empire, with southern parts of it then falling under the control of Spain for some time.
@hbdchick The Spanish got kicked out in 1700s I think.
@hbdchick Maybe this will help you figure out what to look for?

@hbdchick @JayMan471 80 Years War might be important, 1560 to 1640.
