Famous Personalities
History
The Netherlands' history extends long before
establishing the modern Kingdom of Netherlands in
1815. In World War 2, the country was occupied by
Nazis that killed almost all of the Jewish population
in the Netherlands. After the Dutch resistance had
increased, the Nazis decided to cut off food and
water, causing starvation from 1944 to 1945. The
Netherlands gained independence on the 5th of
May 1945.
