Synopsis The development of the Netherlands over the centuries has been a remarkable one. Situated at the “end of Europe”, between land and water, its people have, for more than three thousand years, fought to make the best of a country unfavoured by nature. They have shaped it into one of the world’s foremost economic powers but also, and even more importantly, into a society that prides itself on having reached a fair balance between material and social well-being.
