These are the things school are obligated to teach in the Netherlands. (In order)
*Prehistory
How the first humans lived, moved out of africa and some "dutch" tribes and its founds.
*The great migration
The mass migration of european tribes and how the huns ended up in the netherlands making the "hunnebedden", which is still a tourist spot in the netherlands.
*Romans and greeks
Not much about the greeks in here, but a lot about the romans and their influence in the Netherlands and modern day western society.
*Williebrord
An englishman who brought christianity to our country and replaced our germanic gods. Famous when he defended with the bible as a shield when he were attacked. Usely a forgotten person after like 20 minutes.
*Charles the Great/Charlemagne
The mightiest emperor of his age. King of the franks.
*Floris V
Too complicated to explain, basicelly the elite of nl fighting the other elite of the nl
*Urbanization of Belgium
How belgium got urbanised back than and how they became the worlds biggest and most important cities.
*erasmus
Basicelly the most famous human right activist ever in the netherlands, one of the if not the earliest human right activist on the planet
*Charles the 5th
Lord of the netherlands during austrian/spannish occupation. Kinda our anti-christ
*statue storm
Protestants destroying roman-catholics churches and especially statues in the churches. Seen as a "victory" for the protestants. The spanish king (very pre-roman) wasnt too happy with it. It started the next subject..
*80 years war
Our war of independen against the spanish
*Republic of the netherlands
Outcome due above
*VOC and WIC
Our colonial history and our mass amount of slavery.
*the water
How we protected us against the water
Ok, so im now here
And it takes me just way too long, if you want i can make it longer... (and my favorite tv-show starts now)
