And 'Oranje' for 'Orange' - it's a name, after all. Apart from that, great quiz! Love the orange bar on top.

I meant that I always spell it right. Anyway, yes, I think it means "of the lions' corner" or something like that ^^.

Overthrowing of an English king isn't really part of Dutch history

It is when it's a Dutch king who does the overthrowing! William was king of England as well as being Stadtholder in the Netherlands at the same time as a result of the revolution.

I agree that him being a leader in the Netherlands is probably why this is incorporated, but in the Netherlands this event isn't a big part of the history and receives barely any attention in schools as the revolution took place in England and not in the Netherlands.

Apparently they were so unused to seeing humans and therefore so unafraid that the large birds would walk straight in to the Dutch camps where they would be eaten, and sometimes straight in to the camp fire.

A small correction here. The dodo bird was actually considered a 'walgvogel' which basically meant it tasted disgusting. After that conclusion was made, they were rarely eaten really

I tried slave trade, but apparently the Dutch weren't as active as other countries in this (500k to the 4.5M of the Portuguese)

You can't call them marginal in the slave trade, but they had a monopoly on nutmeg and cloves for a long time.And that made a lot of investors of the VOC insanely wealthy.

Probably can't pronounce it as well, since I've never met someone that doesn't speak Dutch who knows how to pronounce it right :'(

I know there's a city near the Belgium border called Gos and it's pronounced 'hoes' - so I guess Van Gogh would be like 'Van Ho'?

Fun and probably little known fact outside Brazil and Portugal: The dutch actually invaded and ruled over large parts of Brazil's northeast during the 17th century. From 1630 to 1654, the West-Indische Compagnie (WIC) had complete control over Recife, one of the most populous brazilian cities nowadays and capital of the state of Pernambuco. The oldest synagogue of the Americas was founded during this dutch administration. When the WIC was eventually expelled by Portugal, Recife's jewish community emigrated to New Amsterdam.
