The history of the Franks becomes, therefore, the history of the Netherlands.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The rise of the Dutch Republic must ever be regarded as one of the leading events of modern times.
Thus again the Netherlands, for the first time since the fall of Rome, were united under one crown imperial. They had already been once united, in their slavery to Rome.
My feeling is that if all Catholics or Reformed Christians had been deported to Germany, the Dutch government in London would have instructed the population in the occupied Netherlands to help them.
I grew up in Europe, where the history comes from.
The whole territory of the Netherlands was girt with forests.
Something new has happened: For the first time in German history our fatherland is guided by a plan that considers only the needs of the people, and aims at building prosperity and reconstructing of our fatherland.
After my time in Holland, an inner battle ensued in which I tried to free myself from the influence of Schinkelesque classicism.
I don't know how Frank presented the old Mothers, since I never read the book. There might be some opinions on what he said, but I - or anyone else - could not make any corrections to anything Frank did.
I think the Netherlands will become one big city at a point. It is inevitable when you live in a country with so many people. You cannot afford to leave nature as it is. Some people believe that the dunes should be left in their original state, but I think it's strange to let things become how they were 500 years ago.
For a century after the reign of Frederick, Prussia remained the most prominent Germanic state in Europe.
