The Catholic Church never was persecuted. The US became a nation to get away from the Catholic Church because the Papacy was persecuting Bible believing Christians for not participating in the pagan Catholic Church
Without a doubt, this is one of the best documentaries I have seen about these great cities. An impeccable investigation and a historical narrative told as it should be: clear, engaging, and appealing to many.
Ah Amsterdam. Used to hang out there when my dad took me to his work. After 49 years, i had the pleasure of retuning, twice, to do shopping with my very hospitable cousin. Proud to say I'm a Dutch Kiwi and will take my hubby back next time to visit that magnificent city.
@@johnandre2962 True, but you can also have foreigners that are born in the country. If their blood is not European they are still foreigners as will their children be.
This is one of the best produced documentaries I’ve ever watched. Really comprehensive, incredibly insightful and very eloquently narrated. I learnt a lot from this.

Как красиво, четко и наглядно показана история значимых городов в развитии торговли и общественного уровня финансовой жизни. Круто смотреть,как менялась структура городов. Очень нравится наглядно -схематичное представление. Благодарю.
It's truly remarkable how such a small nation like the Netherlands had such a huge impact on history. Obviously, it is an impossible scenario, but if the Dutch only kept New Amsterdam as a colony and focus, it alone would more than double the Netherlands' GDP. Just NYC has the same or a little bigger GDP than the Netherlands. It's sad that the Netherlands doesn't get the recognition it deserves in the founding of the US. From the constitution to the government, to the economic policies, to religious freedoms, ect. Such a valuable and important key to the success of the US. Much love and appreciation.
@@KJ-yises True. Back then 'we' moved south, to some islands for more recources. When that sugar-game became a monopoly aswell, we took a chance in the slavery-game. We also plotted the US cival war in advance by transporting African slaves. After noticing slavery wasn't very trendy anymore... we only played the boardgame Monopoly. Yeah.. after WW2 we tried doing a VOC manouvre in Indonesie. Didn't really work out. Even to shamefull to tell the US not to fight Asians in dens forrest areas like Vietnam. The kind of 'been there, done that' you don't tell about. So we just pursuit a monopoly in engineering by ASML, give 'Total Football' a new try and most definitly we maintain a monopoly in ice skating. Now we just say sorry for all the capatilism and monopoly and fucking up peacefull places. At least... our King does, while his royal family wasnt even in the picture most of the time. Guess its our 'Go to jail time'. Please note that these people from Amsterdam were not 'Dutch'. The Netherlands was pretty devided.
@KJ-yises it wasn't really meant to be a dig to the Netherlands. It was just an obviously nonrealistic observation. The Netherlands is a great country. I didn't mean it in a bad way.
How can they not get the recognition? You have this documentary, plus, all of the information in it is common knowledge that is easily obtainable by doing research.
The narration of this film missed an important historical fact. In 1:11:05 it says that a navy with 4 ships from England took over New Amsterdam, but it doesn't say clearly why. The fact is that New Amsterdam, now New York, was transferred from Dutch to British control as part of a trade agreement centred around a different colony-an island in what is now Indonesia. In 1667, the Treaty of Breda formally ended the Second Anglo-Dutch War. As part of this treaty, the Dutch agreed to cede New Amsterdam (Manhattan) to the British, who renamed it New York. In exchange, the Dutch received full control over the island of Run, one of the Banda Islands in Indonesia, which was highly valued for its nutmeg production-a rare and valuable spice at the time. The island exchange made economic sense in the 17th century due to the spice trade's high profitability.
It's a common mistake. The US think they defeated the British to claim independence but in actual fact the British got tired of how long the war was taking and because they ruled most of the world they made a deal with America to leave, and pulled their resources elsewhere
@CosmopolitanXMan No, you're wrong. The English ships arrived in 1664 and New Amsterdam was surrendered to them because only Stuyvesant himself was willing to fight. A few years later, it was formally traded for Suriname and that Indonesian spice island (though I learned at school it was just Suriname). In 1673, the Dutch retook it but returned it again to the English in 1674, Treaty of Westminster.
For whose interested by this kind of content mixing History, city planning, architecture, Economy, the same documentary maker, Frederic Wilner, produced a very interesting 4 part serie dedicated to Paris - Berlin. Easier to follow since only 2 cities, not 3. Available in French language as "Paris-Berlin, destins croisés" on some video platforms. Possibly somewhere in English language. Highly recommended.
In addition, the same documentary maker realizes excellent documentaries on Egyptian archeology (for instance "La fin de l'âge des pyramides", "Toutankhamon, le trésor redécouvert"), Angkor ("Angkor redécouvert", "Angkor, la civilisation engloutie"), Italian paintings ("Léonard de Vinci, le chef-d'œuvre redécouvert", "Caravage : un chef-d'œuvre sort de l'ombre"), and the history of the Louvre Museum ("Il était une fois le Musée du Louvre"). All are top quality documentaries. Impressive.
There are several omissions and downright wrong statements. The first big blunder is when they call Stavanger a Swedish city. In the third episode they say London was the first to build a sewage system, when that's not true: first sewage systems were built several thousands of years earlier in Mesopotamia. In Europe, one of the oldest is the Cloaca Maxima in Rome (ca. 600 BCE). Vienna was the first in Europe to provide the entire city area with a sewage system already in 1739, and Hamburg's modern sewage system predated that of London by some 16 years. This documentation fails to mention e. g. the "discovery" of America by Christopher Columbus in 1492, without which New Amsterdam wouldn't even exist. The banking system was invented in Italy several hundreds of years earlier, shared holding in Venice several hundreds of years as well. City plans did exist prior to what happened in Amsterdam. Slavery is mentioned only in passing.
Great documentary learnt so much about Amsterdam, well learned a lot about all three cities actually. Now, for the first time ever, I really want to visit New York - I've already been to the other two.
Lo que veo es que no tenía las cámaras para tomar las fotos pero contaban con un ingenio artístico y creativo que les permitia capturar esos únicos y bellos momentos de la época.
I am really exciting about this docu, the origin of New York, New Amsterdam and Amsterdam itself and the competition between Amsterdam and London. As a Dutchmen a'm awere of the darker side of modern capitelism. But dispite the hardship and pain it's a good docu thanks you
@Judge_Magister maybee you don't understand history and human nature and my comment was more about the dark history of capitalism Slavery, colonialism that's what I'm talking about Oke maybee this is lost in translation, with dark I mean the negative side of capitalism not some occult thing, does is it make more sense now?
@@Peterhistorie69 slavery and colonialism has little to do with capitalism. Now slaves were a common commodity throughout human history on all continents and all human races at some point either were slaves or kept slaves. Colonialism is also as old as human history, some civilizations notorious for colonizing others are the Phoenicians, Greeks, Romans, Arabs, Turks, Japanese etc. So please do not confuse capitalism with human immoralities, capitalism champions private property, and private property equals freedom. The most corrupt force in this world attacking private property and thus our freedom are governments.
@@Judge_Magister Those things existed before capitalism, but capitalism cannot exist without them. I bet you think slavery doesn't exist anymore just because they outsourced it lol
@@buck_swope oh no there are many governments like communist China or organized religion like islam that still champion slavery even today sadly. Capitalism however would never accept slavery because it champions private property and the fundament of private property is the human body.
Que bueno si alguna vez en la historia se tuviera en cuenta a todos los obreros que trabajan en la construcción de todas esas grandes obras. Todos los actores en una obra son importantes...........
Well made and informative documentary. Reading between the lines, it was always a matter of money and power between the protagonists of the time. I hope this video offers a glimpse of how the past is still reflecting into the present & future after so many centuries.

This video is great quality, but this comment section seems full of bots and trolls (which are also probably bots). How bizzare. Either way, happy to see great educational content like this on RUclips.
This is a super cool documentary, i feel like we could have included so many other amazing cities, like Venice, Constantinople, Paris and Rome in regards to the history of market economies. Id love to see a prequel to this!
they werent contempory rivals, perhaps for a mediterranean story one could focus on Venice and Constantinople/Istanbul but cant think of a good third one.
@@HouseJawn Indeed, the same documentary maker, Frederic Wilner, realised an excellent 4 parts serie dedicated to Paris and Berlin. Available on video platforms as "Paris - Berlin, destins croisés" in French language. Easier to follow since only 2 cities, making comparisons clearer.
@@NuncEstBibendumX Perhaps Ragusa (Dubrovnik), Alexandria, Naples, and or Genoa for the Mediterranean. Lubeck (leader of the Hanseatic League) and/or Riga for the Baltic and North Sea.
It is fascinating how the global economy has its roots in the glorious and turbulent histories of Amsterdam, London and New York, and how 800 years pass in a summary that recapitulates from a golden century to confrontations with metropolises and finally to global cities.
I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to see some more documentaries like this one!!! This one is so very good. Everything about it is top notch! From production to soundtrack. Bravo!!
Wow, what a fantastic exploration of the cities that shaped our world! I really enjoyed the visuals and insights. However, I can't help but feel like the video overlooked some incredible smaller cities that also played crucial roles in history. it's interesting how we often focus on the big names, but there are so many hidden gems out there that deserve recognition too. What do you all think?
@@3markaw Seriously, New York entered the world stage only in the late 19th century. I wonder how you can make such a documentary without Paris (at least for the intellectual part, mercantilism etc.), Florence and Venice (for banking and shared holding).

Thank you for such a great documentary, I saw the parallel story being an Indian, How the Dutch east India company established and caused the next butterfly effect of colonial period after the renaissance kicked in.
@@vamsinimmalaML The documentary doesnt mention it but the jews actually played a pretty big role in this. The Netherlands was the only accepting country of Jews already in the 1300s before it was a country. The result: a lot of went there and when the Netherlands "conquered" it, they went to London (business oppurtunities), just like the skilled people went from antwerp to amsterdam
1:31:42 Charles II also had a alliance with the Portuguese and was married with Catarina of Bragança, the daughter of the Portuguese King, and it was with this marriage that the Portuguese negociated by giving the access of India to the British with the offer of the city of Bombay ( good bay in portuguese) , known as Mumbai today.
I was born and raised in Antwerp and never learned this in school. The Dutch people of today always forget to mention the influence of Antwerp on their history.
At school we (Dutch) learned about the raise of the Golden Age was due the influence of refugees e.g. the Portuguese Jews, the wealthy from Antwerp. Furthermore the Dutch had only 3M citizens at that time and migrants came from Scandinavia, Germany, Belgium. (Please don’t forget to mention that the Belgium collaborated with the Spanish agressors while the Dutch kicked them out.)
@@patricksrensen7952 There is another big: In the third episode, they say that London was the first to construct a sewage system... that may be true for the British Isles, but most certainly not for Europe nor for the world. The oldest sewage systems are found in Mesopotamia, the Ancient Romans had the Cloaca Maxima, Vienna was the first city in Europe to have a sewage system covering the entire territory of the city, and when it comes to a modern sewage system, Hamburg predated London buy about 14 to16 years. Not to mention the vertical cities with the "dynasty towers" that you find in Italy (San Gimignano in Tuscany is the best preserved, I think, but other cities like Bologna had them as well)
The first stock exchanges were opened in the sixteenth century: Antwerp was the first (in 1531) and London followed in 1571 with the Royal Exchange, opened by Queen Elizabeth I. In these exchanges, goods were mainly traded, but debt securities, such as loans and bonds, were also traded. In Amsterdam, shares and equity derivatives were added for the first time.
@@jimmybgood982 The bourse at Antwerp is a building in Antwerp, Belgium, which was first opened in 1531 as the world's first purpose-built commodity exchange. The Royal Exchange in London was modelled on the Antwerp bourse. The bourse has been described as "the mother of all stock exchanges".
Nicely produced documentary, but at 35:50, the narrator says that the ships were sailing from Amsterdam to the Swedish port of Stavanger. Stavanger is a city in Norway as the graphic was showing the boats sailing to Norway. Perhaps another fact check/pass could’ve been done here. Cheers from Oslo🇳🇴
@@tinotibaldo Nope. Norway was de jure in personal union with Denmark. Moreovery, technically, it was the Norwegian king who had inherited the Danish throne in 1380, but very soon it was the Danish part that dominated. That union lasted until 1815, after which Norway passed to Sweden, and became independent only in 1905.
I absolutely loved this! As someone passionate about architecture history, I’m always fascinated by how buildings tell stories of the past and reflect the culture of their era.

1:31:42 Charles II also had a alliance with the Portuguese and was married with Catarina of Bragança, the daughter of the Portuguese King, and it was with this marriage that the Portuguese negociated by giving the access of India to the British with the offer of the city of Bombay ( good bay in portuguese) , known as Mumbai today.
@@Luzitanium A marriage without issue. Although the king recognized 14 of his children born out of wedlock
I was born and raised in Antwerp and never learned this in school. The Dutch people of today always forget to mention the influence of Antwerp on their history.
At school we (Dutch) learned about the raise of the Golden Age was due the influence of refugees e.g. the Portuguese Jews, the wealthy from Antwerp. Furthermore the Dutch had only 3M citizens at that time and migrants came from Scandinavia, Germany, Belgium. (Please don’t forget to mention that the Belgium collaborated with the Spanish agressors while the Dutch kicked them out.)
Excellent.
great vid
What an incredible documentary, Thank you. Now subscribed.
This documentary is absolutely fascinating. Thank you. I found it intriguing and highly educational.
Fascinating? It is celebrating genocide of the people of Indonesia as if it is something good!
Perfect docu, I like it!
How is it perfect when it calls a Norwegian city “Swedish port city”..?
@patricksrensen7952 Azijnzeikers...
@@patricksrensen7952 There is another big: In the third episode, they say that London was the first to construct a sewage system... that may be true for the British Isles, but most certainly not for Europe nor for the world. The oldest sewage systems are found in Mesopotamia, the Ancient Romans had the Cloaca Maxima, Vienna was the first city in Europe to have a sewage system covering the entire territory of the city, and when it comes to a modern sewage system, Hamburg predated London buy about 14 to16 years. Not to mention the vertical cities with the "dynasty towers" that you find in Italy (San Gimignano in Tuscany is the best preserved, I think, but other cities like Bologna had them as well)
we need a tv show about this , its such a great part of our history .
Interesting tie in of individual historical issues in a tight narrative
The first stock exchanges were opened in the sixteenth century: Antwerp was the first (in 1531) and London followed in 1571 with the Royal Exchange, opened by Queen Elizabeth I. In these exchanges, goods were mainly traded, but debt securities, such as loans and bonds, were also traded. In Amsterdam, shares and equity derivatives were added for the first time.
a fruit market is not a stock exchange
@@jimmybgood982 See wikipedia....
@@jimmybgood982 The bourse at Antwerp is a building in Antwerp, Belgium, which was first opened in 1531 as the world's first purpose-built commodity exchange. The Royal Exchange in London was modelled on the Antwerp bourse. The bourse has been described as "the mother of all stock exchanges".
Stop spreading fake news lmfao😂 yall fake French guys aka Belgians
@@jimmybgood982, you're very right on that one 😂
Makes me thankful of whatever I have
Nicely produced documentary, but at 35:50, the narrator says that the ships were sailing from Amsterdam to the Swedish port of Stavanger. Stavanger is a city in Norway as the graphic was showing the boats sailing to Norway. Perhaps another fact check/pass could’ve been done here. Cheers from Oslo🇳🇴
Maybe it was part of sweden at that time ?
@@tinotibaldo Nope. Norway was de jure in personal union with Denmark. Moreovery, technically, it was the Norwegian king who had inherited the Danish throne in 1380, but very soon it was the Danish part that dominated. That union lasted until 1815, after which Norway passed to Sweden, and became independent only in 1905.
Oh, and "thank you, for making this wonderful video! It is very well made, and informative!"
Great!
Very very cool and informative documentary!!
Brilliant documentary with a sad sinister end.
Very good and interesting documentary.
