>Netherlands being known for being direct and blunt>Japan being known for being indirect and polite>Manage to have good relations for 200 years, while other European countries are excluded
calvinists want money over preaching
Why do you think?
>>18600943It was an economic relationship restrictedly localized to less than a handful of locales in the entire country. There's nothing to get.
>>18600943the dutch were reasonable and told factual truths about science and geography to the Japanese.Portugese missionaries straight up told japan that Portugal was the only country in Europe and others like them were massively more exploitative than the dutch
>>18600943the dutch didn't try to aggressively spread christianity, though there were some Japanese who wanted it by then. Honestly the whole hidden Christian thing is quite fascinating to learn about. I think some aspects of christianity like the suffering of Jesus and keeping your faith in the face of adversity appealed to japanese people back then
>>18600943You answered it yourself. The Japanese were wary of backstabbing snakes, something they were plenty familiar with in their own politics. The Dutch were up front and honest about what they wanted from Japan. It's like Roman emperors hiring barbarians as bodyguards. Sometimes the most trustworthy you can get is knowing a man's true price.

>>18602362Kicking out Portugal was easy enough to understand, it's excluding England that was impressive on the VOC's part
>>18602831>>18602362It's interesting to think about the Iberian Union possibly backing Hideyoshi's naval plans if that 1596 incident hadn't happened.
