Although the
Netherlands is one of the smallest countries in Europe, it has played an
important role in the history of Europe over time and still plays
a substantial role in European affairs today, being a major gateway to
Europe by sea, land and air traffic.
It is bordered by
Belgium, Germany and the North Sea. At one time a great deal
of the country was under water. The Dutch have become well known for their reclamation of the sea, swamps
and shallow lakes, to provide land for farming and
housing. Anyone visiting this
enchanting place will have everlasting memories of flowers, cheese,
windmills and the wonderful Dutch atmosphere.
