Netherlands

there are many pets i lived in holland so i know that lots of people have dogs cats some have fish and turtles uncommon but also rabbits, hamsters some old people have also pigeons that's the moast basic that i remember!!

The Netherlands has a sea-climate. It also doesn't lie anywhere near a fault line, where two earth plates hit each other. Therefor, there have never been real tragedies concerning water.

There was a flood in 1421 which claimed some lives and one in 1953 that claimed 1835 human lives and some cattle.

The Dutch have embankments (these are basically elevated parts of dirt, rocks and other natural material) along most rivers. When the snow in the Alps (mainly, there's more) melts during spring, this water flows through those rivers. The embankments stop the rivers from flooding and doing damage.

In the south-west, there are mechanical dams that close when there is a heavy storm at sea, to prevent a repetition of the flood of 1953.

As I said, there are no real tragedies concerning water. If the Netherlands is ever hit by a hurricane, tsunami or whatnot, most would not survive. Over half of the country lies below sea level.

Depending on the tunnel (there are three), they are 1.4 - 1.5 miles long.

It is located in Overloons, Netherlands. See the related links below for photos and full details.

lions are in large numbers in Somali including Somalia and southern Somalia the reason why people don't think lions don't exist in Somalia is because it is a middle of a civil war and nobody can take pictures of them. nile crocodiles live in the Somali rivers. there are also a large number of antelopes which locals hunt and eat. a lot of animals migrate to somalia in the breeding seasons from kenya.there is no fence on the border so the animals move freely

The Dutch put windmills all over the land to clear the water on the surface. Know they have lots of dyke's to keep the water out.

Here is the address for the branch office for Jehovah's Witnesses in the Netherlands: Noordbargerstraat 77, NL-7812 AA Emmen. Contact them to find out where the Kingdom Hall is. Possibly a local witness may contact you to assist you in finding the Hall.

The Head of State of the Netherlands is Queen Beatrix and the head of the government is Jan Peter Balkenende from the Conservative CDA.

Yes. The name Holland is often mistakenly used for the country the Netherlands. Holland is just a region in the Netherlands. The Netherlands is a country in Europe.

Holland is a region in the Netherlands, though the name Holland is often incorrectly used to refer to all of the Netherlands. It is in western Europe, to the west of Germany and the north of Belgium, across the North sea from England.

Holland isn't necessarily the Netherlands. The Netherlands is made up of provinces that, for example, were once known as the United Provinces which made up the Kingdom of the Netherlands. Holland is commonly referred to the Netherlands as a whole as the historical center of the kingdom is in Amsterdam, which is located in the coastal (Western) areas of the Netherlands.

So simply put: Holland is the common name for the Western/Coastal provinces of the Netherlands and has come to be a common name for the country as a whole. At present, North Holland and South Holland are the two areas which make up the area traditionally known as Holland.

Nigeria became a part of the british empire on exactly January 1st 1901

That depends on your definition of 'mountain'. The Netherlands are mostly flatland with some hills (up to 320m) in the south. Belgium is also mostly flat, but is quite hilly in the southeast near Luxembourg. Still, the highest peak is less than 700m above sea level.

Industrial products include crude steel, pig iron, and pharmaceutical products. The Netherlands also produces cigarettes, beer, canned fish, cocoa and cocoa products, sugar, candies, biscuits, and potato flour. The Netherlands produced 239,325 automobiles in 2001, a 10% decrease over 2000. In 2000, it produced 50,602 heavy trucks, a 17% increase over 1999.

That depends on how much the stamps are worth... and some are no good for postage outside the USA. Check with your local post office, or the Postal Service Web page, for information about foreign postage.

http://www.usps.com/prices/first-class-mail-international-prices.htm is the website you want to use.

However, I found it a bit confusing, so I called the USPS directly. For mail 1 ounce or less, it takes three stamps, at the current prices (August 2010).

For example the invention of the Microscope, Cd-player and Multinational companies.

For the Americans.

The Dutch where the main weapon supplier for the American rebels, Who bought their weapons in Sint Eustatius to fight the English. After the victory of the Americans, they entered the harbour in Sint Eustatius, sailing under the stars and stripes. The Dutch governor ordered the canons to be fired, as a salute to the new nation. The Dutch where the first to recognise the United States as a nation, instead of rebels.

The more darker page in the Dutch history is the slave trade. The Dutch were responsible for a lot of slave transport to the Americas. They also have been very ruthless in Indonesia. Something where nobody can be proud off.

The Dutch where very active during the colonisation period and expierenced a golden age in that time. A time that jump started the economy of wich the effects are still noticable today in Holland.

Nigeria was founded in 1914 following the amalgamation of the north and southern protectorates. the new name was coined by the wife of Lord lugard by using the name of the largest river flowing in the country. The river is Niger.

They don't have one, but they do have a national animal: the lion.

Holland!!!!!!! Holland Holland is often used as a synonym but it is only a part of the Netherlands. Hence Holland is not really correct to use instead of the Netherlands; it would exclude a lot of areas/people. But whjat other countries are in there???????

or is it just Holland???? plz answer

Dutch people are generally not very religious, but usually they are Christians. There are also a lot, definitely in the "Randstad", of other religions like the Islam and Jews, but the majority is atheist.
