History and curiosities
  • European Union Atlantikwall – Defensive system of over 5,000 kilometres (3,100 mi) spanning the coasts of Northern Norway all the way to the south of France, built to defend the Third Reich.
  • Netherlands Batavian Repubic and the Kingdom of Holland – Republic and subsequent monarchy set up by the Bonapartes consisting of the modern-day Netherlands, plus and minus some bits.
  • Dutch Republic Dutch Revolt – Spurred on by high taxation, loss of privileges and many more woes, the Dutch Revolt had an irreversible effect on all of Europe, and resulted in the creation of the first successful major post-Mediaeval republic.
  • Benelux Grands Traveaux Inutiles – The Great Useless Works of the BeNeLux. Especially Belgian politics of the second half of the 20th century led to some questionable investments in public infrastructure. This is a list of them.
  • Netherlands Mills of the Netherlands – Many of them, as well as the profession of miller, are UNESCO-listed, so this classifies on those grounds. Besides, my master thesis is on Dutch watermills, so if anyone's going to write it, it'd be me.
