The Netherlands and Industrial Power

Hey everyone, first of all I would like to welcome you all to my new contribution and hope you all have a week so far which is full of interesting experiences! In my contribution I would like to go into an interesting topic and would be happy if you can expand your knowledge.

The Netherlands is not only rich in art, culture and history, but also plays an important role from an industrial point of view, which can also be attributed to the central location. One of the strengths is in any case the interaction with other industries and this not only at the national level because it's known that various large areas such as logistics, pharmaceutical industry, food and other important branches are strongly networked internationally. A huge factor why this is so can be traced back in history to the perfect location on the North Sea and from there the Netherlands has managed to establish strong relations with other countries already centuries ago and it did not take long until entire infrastructures were built and already in the golden age which was an era in the 17th century, powerful players such as the East India Company have promoted international trade.

It can be said that a long chain has emerged on which thousands of people hang and in addition to business, there is also a lot of promoting research or other global cooperations. It can be also said that the most important factors for the growth of the industry, in addition to the good location, are the innovations that have contributed to the construction of a strong infrastructure and the Dutch have also recognised important markets and invested large sums in them, as when it comes to energy. Much has been built up over generations and has been improved more and more and the Netherlands has also created its own form of neutrality or openness which is indispensable for international industry branches.

While I was in the Netherlands, I visited the area of Zaanse Schans, which has a very unique importance in the development of Dutch industry and even far beyond the borders. The industry has helped the whole area to prosperity and many important products were created here which were important for daily life or infrastructure and through all the productions, people became more and more dependent on this area, which of course resulted in the increasing power of the industry and also more and more industrial families gained power. This area was certainly one of the most important milestones when it comes to the industry of the whole country and those who want to trace the origin back must absolutely visit this area.

Important for growth were also the old mills without which all this would not have been possible and in addition to all the points mentioned above, this must absolutely be written in large letters and considered as an important basis and here millennia old technology meets innovative power and it's also great that the Netherlands not have forgotten from which egg many things have hatched and in hardly any other country is this important tradition of mills maintained better than there. If you visit Amsterdam or the area in general and want to learn more about the industrial power of the Netherlands, it is a mandatory program for you to visit Zaanse Schaans to get to know the roots and also here the traditional mills still turn. In the course of the industrial revolutions, technologies changed and more processes were automated to boost production which of course changed many things.

Thank you very much for stopping by and I hope you could learn something new and like my post! I captured these pictures with my Sony Alpha 6000 plus 55-210 mm.
