 ====== Points of Divergence : The Netherlands ======
-The Netherlands is a geographically low-lying and densely populated country. It is popularly known for its traditional windmills, tulips, cheese, clogs (wooden shoes), delftware and gouda pottery, for its bicycles, its dikes and surge barriers, and, on the other hand, traditional values and civil virtues such as its classic social tolerance. An old parliamentary democracy, the country is more recently known for its rather liberal policies toward recreational drugs, prostitution, homosexuality, and euthanasia.
+Points of divergence concerning alternate historical developments within the modern day territory of the Netherlands.
--From [[offtopic:Wikipedia]]
-In addition to the above information, The Netherlands are also known for spreading their colonialism in the biggest racketeering scheme in history (well, that's one way of looking at it).
-Below are some AH discussions regarding the Netherlands and possible turning points in Dutch history:
