	Dutch Empire - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Dutch merchants and sailors also participated in the surge of exploration that unfolded in the 16th and 17th centuries, though the vast new territories revealed by Willem Barents, Henry Hudson,Willem Janszoon and Abel Tasman in the Arctic and in Australasia/Oceania did not generally become permanent Dutch colonies.
		With Dutch naval power rising rapidly as a major force from the late 16th century, the Netherlands reigned supreme at sea, and dominated global commerce, during the second half of the 17th century, which translated in the fact that the Dutch were the foremost power in the world at that time.
		The restored portions of the Dutch empire, notably the Dutch East Indies (Indonesia), Suriname, and The Netherlands Antilles remained under The Hague's control until the decline of traditional imperialism in the 20th century.

		Burgerlijk is the Dutch word for “burghers.” Though it is notoriously difficult to assign firm class divisions to Golden Age Dutch society, the burgerlijk was a roughly middle class grouping to which Netherlanders of a wide range of professions—from modest artisans to well-to-do regents—belonged.
		Bread was a mainstay of the Dutch diet during the seventeenth century, and regular consumption of herenbrood was a sign of affluence.
		Overvloed is a Dutch word meaning “abundance.” Recent interpretations of seventeenth-century Dutch culture suggest that Netherlanders struggled to reconcile the overvloed of the Golden Age with the modesty and thrift advocated by Calvinism.

	ECONEMISIS.COM: Global Empire
		For example, because of the Spanish Empire's territories around the globe, it was often said in the 16th century that "the sun never sets on the Spanish Empire." This phrase was later applied to the Russian Empire and British Empire.
		The latter, consolidated during the period of British maritime hegemony in the 19th century, became the largest empire in history by virtue of the improved transportation technologies of the time (nominal claims to huge tracts of uninhabited and uninhabitable land in the Arctic and in Australia, for instance, went uncontested).
		The ethics of these colonial empires has been much criticised for destroying the lives and the identities of their subject populations, but in one of the great ironies of history it was one of their inadvertent cultural exports, the ideal of nationalism, that was ultimately to be their undoing.
