Holland is not a country, it is a province of the Netherlands. Cocu is from North Brabant, in the Netherlands. Isn't he Dutch then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RadioactiveWaste Posted July 4, 2019 Share Posted July 4, 2019 We could lump it in with Belgium and refer to the low countries at all times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holland is a region of the Netherlands the same way that a county is a region of England. It became common-ish rhetoric because the majority of large Dutch cities are in Holland, all the trade routes etc. go into Holland. Most of the rest of the Netherlands is farmland. But Eindhoven, for one major example in the context of Cocu, is not in Holland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of the rest of the provinces used to be independent (ish) states in the HRE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
