I don't get it. They teach us silly Americans nothing about the in-depth history of other nations. Background pls?

Somewhat funny. I'm one of those middle-class Dutchees about to leave. If all goes well, I'll become an Hispanic within the next twelve months...

But seriously, it's nothing like that. A friend of mine is opening a restaurant annex diving school in the Southern part of Spain and he asked if I would want to help him start up (for the first one or two years or so). So I agreed. Nothing wrong with a little sun and sea, me thinks.

We mostly dealt in slaves, not actually possess them: Calvinism doesn't look kindly on that kind of ownership. That doesn't mean there weren't plantations owned by Dutchmen because there were, mostly in West-India, West- and South-Africa and Surinam.
