Start 1861: I Just Inherited the Dutch Throne

The super-industrialization of the Netherlands has fueled waves of population migration. Many low-class people in Europe first migrated to the Netherlands, and then became Dutch nationals. Following the guidance of public opinion, some immigrated to the Far East and came to the Far East of the Netherlands to open up wasteland. Then there is migration from local villages to factories, and then from villages to towns on a local scale.

However, this is different from internal immigration in European countries. Internal immigration will cause overcrowding, housing shortages, insecurity, homelessness, unemployment and even cholera, which they will push up.

Fortunately, King William IV had begun to prepare for this many years ago. Especially since the Far East is surrounded by sea and has intensive naval patrols, illegal immigration has been effectively prevented and minimized. Most of the new immigrants are legal immigrants. This kind of Under this circumstance, registered new immigrants are easily subject to control and employment arrangements.

The increase in new immigrants has also caused many surprises in the cultural field.

Originally, the Netherlands began to implement primary education in 1862, and then in 1875, it took the lead in implementing nine-year compulsory education in the world, targeting cities.

Now under the promotion of William IV, the Dutch government has begun to prepare for implementation in rural areas, while cities are moving towards a higher 12-year compulsory education.

A discerning person can see at a glance the importance William IV placed on education and culture.

Therefore, in the cultural field, the popularity and level of education in the Netherlands are of great significance. Rural residents basically need to have basic human abilities, children must receive universal primary education, and a large number of assemblers, technicians and apprentices must receive vocational education. educate. Higher technical education is dedicated to training engineers and researchers.

The Dutch government and business leaders advocate the establishment of new secondary schools to train the administrative backbone of public service agencies, overseas territory management departments and industrial sectors.

The education of new Dutch immigrant women also began in the Far East in 1870.

William IV was delighted to discover that, with his own support, large-scale literacy in the Netherlands paved the way for emerging popular culture.

From the time he came to power in 1862 to the present, the Netherlands has published a large number of popular magazines, bad novels, legendary literature, detective novels, comic magazines, inspirational books and family books.

A stable job coupled with a stable family environment allows people with a fixed income to try various new ways of leisure and entertainment.

Nowadays, the weekly concerts held at the Sydney Opera House in Sydney, the largest city in the Netherlands, are full of seats, and the middle class occupies the majority of them. Because in the past, concerts in Europe were only accessible to upper-class aristocrats and capitalists, and the middle class with insufficient social status You can only stand on tiptoes and try your best to squeeze in, not to mention people at the bottom of society. However, the Netherlands has broken the record in this regard. As long as the bottom of society consumes more, they can enjoy it for a short time and enjoy it for a lifetime. An unforgettable life enjoyed by nobles. Even if it is just for one day, it has become the direction of their efforts.

In addition to high-end concerts, family vacations, travel, boarding and various sports, in 1872 the Kingdom of the Netherlands established the world's first football association, and Sydney and Melbourne held their first matches under the association. Football became a Over the past six years it has become a high-profile event between various parts of the Kingdom of the Netherlands. Even workers in the Netherlands are organizing to play football.

Influenced by the Netherlands, football has become more popular in South America. Since 1875, the Netherlands has held joint competitions with South American countries every year to show friendship. Of course, the competition venue is in the Far East of the Netherlands. .

However, the upper class will always distinguish the gap between themselves and the lower class of society. For example, since the concert gates were lowered, the Dutch aristocrats and big-capitalists have now turned to playing golf to show their status.

Well, William IV was not willing to stop it, because only with a clear hierarchy, people at the bottom would work hard to climb higher mountains. This can be regarded as an incentive.

At the same time, the Dutch Australian mainland has also become the most important venue for cycling competitions.

Here alone, more than 200 bicycle races are held every year, and the scale has gradually expanded. Now in the Netherlands, international bicycle races are also held in Europe to serve Europeans.

To William IV's surprise, some Italian immigrants in the Kingdom of the Netherlands were so innovative that they held the first wrestling event in Sydney, the largest city in the Kingdom of the Netherlands, in 1876, influenced by the Italian Coliseum. The attention made people excited.

It is because of this that the bloodshed of the Dutch increased, which can be regarded as bringing a boost to the army.

For this reason, the Netherlands began to use it as a model, and many retired soldiers began to participate in its activities, which played an unexpected role in increasing the employment of retired soldiers.

I have to say, this is surprising.

For this reason, William IV wanted to return to the W-W-E fake wrestling training league in the United States in later generations. Maybe it would be good to make this 100 years ago.

The religious culture of the Netherlands also experienced tremendous changes at this time and developed rapidly. The church halls of city parishes became centers of social, charitable and temperance activity. In Protestant areas, the church established the world's earliest industrial suburbs and private church primary and secondary schools, and appointed worker pastors.

At this time, scholars in Dutch universities sought to understand the changing world and created a series of new social sciences.

For example, economics, ethnography, anthropology, linguistics and sociology are currently popular in the reading market in the Netherlands. Each new discipline has had a profound impact on traditional fields of study such as philosophy, science, history, and literature.

In the field of psychology, urban and industrial life has led to attitudes that are foreign to country dwellers.

In short, the current development of the Netherlands has been all-round. In the field of politics, as each university has this subject, international politics and even the contradictions and intrigues within the major parties in the Netherlands can be discussed openly, so As a result, political science is also very popular, and international politics has become the most discussed place.

Dutch politicians are therefore no longer limited to a traditional Dutch political family. Rather, politicians must address a broad audience of taxpayers.

And these politicians must also listen to people's increasingly sophisticated and confident expressions of diverse opinions, or risk being voted out of office.

This is what William IV wants to see. This is exactly what the Netherlands has now joined, the Socialist Party, the third largest party, breaking the tradition of the Netherlands having a weak political style dominated by the backwater monopoly of the Liberal Party and the Christian Party.

It is precisely because of these conditions that have been laid down now that William IV dares to challenge the British now.
