The Netherlands is a country over 700 years old, and its history is considerably peaceful. The area is often overlooked when it comes to history despite their open-mind, and they have set small things in the process for change.

In the Netherlands during 2001 same-sex marriage was legalized, and it was basically without an argument and nearly unanimous. This was a big step because they also allowed religious figures in 2014 to have the option to agree to the ceremony. It remains the fact that the Netherlands was the first country to legalize same-sex marriage, and many countries have decided to follow in those steps, legalizing that same thing. This is one of the many things that the Netherlands took a step to make happen.

In the end, the Netherlands is often forgotten by many, but they also set forth several changes in history, and that shows through research that maybe even the more forgotten places have something to contribute.
