Amsterdam History
- The first settlers in the area that was to be called Amsterdam were fishermen, who made an encampment around the mouth of the Amstel River around 1125 CE. They built huts on terps (artificial mounds) to protect themselves from floods, and reclaimed land from the sea by a series of dykes and polders. In 1264 the inhabitants dammed the river, giving the city its name, Amstelledamme. As the years progressed, and the city grew, canals were built to provide greater transport links. As this settlement grew tension began to arise between the Lords van Amstel and the self-proclaimed Counts of Holland. In 1275 the earliest known document to refer to Amsterdam was written, in which Count Floris V of Holland allowed Amstelledamme residents to transport their produce across the river in his region, The Hague, without paying tolls. As a result of the improved transport links, the fledgling town grew to become the central trading post in all of Northern Europe. In 1421 and 1452 the city suffered from two Great Fires of Amsterdam, following which the use of wood as a building material was banned. In 1494 the Emperor Philip Hapsburg married the daughter of the king of Spain, meaning that on his death in 1516 power over the Netherlands passed to Spain, through his son Emperor Charles V. In 1555 Charles V abdicated and Philip II of Spain succeeded. Under the Catholic ruler, Philip II, life was very restrictive for Dutch citizens, and in 1566 as Protestantism seized northern Europe, the Calvanists rebelled against Spanish dominance in the Beeldenstorm. During this period, Dutch iconoclasts destroyed religious icons, art and altars in Catholic churches; and in 1568 William of Orange began a Dutch revolt against the Catholic rulers. In 1578 in the revolution known as the Alteration, the Calvanists finally gained control of Amsterdam and the city became Protestant. In 1584 William of Orange was assassinated. The liberality Amsterdam is famed for comes from the city’s long tradition of tolerance, which stemmed from the struggles its citizens had to endure under the rule of Spain throughout the 16th century.
In 1609 during the Golden Age of the growth of arts and culture in Amsterdam, plans were laid out for a gigantic triple ring of canals, Grachtengordel, around the city. By the 17th century Holland had become a dominating power, with an enormous empire stretching halfway across the world with Amsterdam at its epicentre. Its importance as a trading route meant that tulips began to be imported to Holland from Asia, and in 1634 Tulipmania hit the country. Tulips were quoted on the Stock Exchange, and mass trading began, making some people instantly wealthy due to the huge price increases created. In 1637 this all came to an abrupt halt with The Great Tulip Crash, which caused thousands of bankruptcies. In 1787 the Prussian army took control of Amsterdam, but in 1795 the Dutch provinces were united under the Batvian Republic, ruled by the French and Dutch Patriots. In 1806 Napoleon took over the Republic, and created the Kingdom of the Netherlands, with his brother Louis Napoleon as head of state. In 1813 following the driving out of the French, the exiled House of Orange returned to retake their throne from the French invaders, which they have kept through the line of inheritance, to this day.
During the Second World War, despite Holland’s neutrality, Hitler invaded the country in May 1940. The city’s Jewish residents began to be deported to concentration camps from 1942, and as a result of which the underground Dutch Resistance became a dynamic movement publishing newspapers against Germany. Amsterdam was liberated by Allied Forces on the 5th May 1945. The monarchy’s longest reigning sovereign, Queen Wilhelmenia abdicated in 1948 after fifty years in power. In the 1960s the Provo movement in Amsterdam grew, spurred on by public resentment towards the government over the city’s housing and transport policies. Street protests turned into a full-scale demonstration at the wedding of Princess Beatrix on the 10th March 1966. In 1967 Amsterdam’s famous Hippies arrived in the city, and in 1971 the city’s beloved football team, Ajax won the European Cup. In 1981 Amsterdam was finally recognised as the capital of Holland.
