Did you know Amsterdam is home to the world’s oldest stock exchange? Founded in 1602 alongside the Dutch East India Company, it revolutionized finance by allowing people to invest and share in its profits. This system fuelled Dutch trade during the 80 Years' War, as the Netherlands battled Spanish control and established trade routes to Asia.

Despite losing ships and crews, the Dutch thrived by incentivizing citizens through shared profits in the Dutch East India Company! The Amsterdam Stock Exchange became the foundation of modern capitalism, playing a pivotal role in history and operating to this day.

Should Canada join the United States as the 51st state? While it may sound far-fetched, history reveals surprising moments when this idea was more than just a theory. From Trump’s economic maneuvers to the War of 1812, when Canadians and British forces burned down the White House, to post-Civil War invasion plans under Ulysses S. Grant, the debate has resurfaced time and again.

In this short video, we explore the fascinating history of U.S. attempts to annex Canada and the potential geopolitical implications of such a union. Is it possible? Could Canada’s economic struggles make it vulnerable? Dive into the history and context behind one of the most controversial debates between two neighboring nations.
