How the Dutch Reclaimed Land From the Sea

The Netherlands is unlike any other country on Earth.

What sets the Netherlands apart from every other country isn’t its size; it's the fact that 17% of the area of the country was once in the sea.

Turning the sea into land is no easy feat, but it is something that the Dutch have been doing for centuries. Not only have they expanded the territory of the Netherlands, but they have also created a system that protects the country from flooding and storms.

Learn about how the Dutch managed to reclaim land from the sea on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
