Throughout the centuries, the need for land has given the Dutch an incentive to enlarge their borders, and they have accomplished this objective without taking land from other countries. About 1/4 of the Netherlands is polder, land the ingenious Dutch have wrested from the sea by building dikes and dams and draining the water from it with pumps driven by windmills (and today by electricity).
