Well, for starters we founded New York. Traded it to the English for Surinam later, so that sucked, but still. Some of the names in NY are still reminiscent of their Dutch names (for example, Staten Island, Brooklyn (Breukelen), Wall Street (Walstraat) etc.).
Look at Indonesia. In the 19th/early 20th century we began to completely exploit and submit it. The conquest of Aceh around 1900 was bloody to be sure, the so-called "Police" Actions in response to Sukarno's declaration of independence wiped out entire kampongs, Vietnam-style, oh and did I mention the Dutch were avid slave-traders before the Portuguese acquired their virtual monopoly?
I could also post
this map, but I decided against it.
Oh and Phil, I was mainly talking about the 17th century (called the "Golden Century" here), in which time we were NOT beaten up by the English/Spanish/whoever, but when we practically ruled the oceans, with no-one matching our navy. Sure, later we got kicked about, but especially in the early 17th century we could dish out some serious punishment. Also Note the fact that in the 16th/17th century we (a tiny tiny agrarian nation) managed to gain full independence from the might of the Spanish. So much for being beaten up, eh?
