How the geography of the Low Countries shaped the course of history of this area, by Marc Antrop.
The geographical meaning of the Low Countries includes Belgium and The Netherlands. The concept is based upon a partially common history and natural similarities. Rare are the regions that show such a diversity in landscapes, both natural and cultural, and in mentality on a rather small area.
This lecture presents some geological and historical background that will allow a better understanding of the landscapes and their people when travelling around.
