Holland which is known as a windmills' country holds once a year in mid May, a national holiday that extolled the windmills. In this day the Dutches host thousands of visitors in the windmills all over the country. This is a special opportunity to go back two hundred years and watch active windmills being operated in grinding various kinds of corn to the enjoyment of the spectators.

background and overview:

The Dutch United Provinces declared their independence from Spain in 1579; during the 17th century, they became a leading seafaring and commercial power, with settlements and colonies around the world. After a 20-year French occupation, a Kingdom of the Netherlands was formed in 1815. In 1830 Belgium seceded and formed a separate kingdom. The Netherlands remained neutral in World War I, but suffered invasion and occupation by Germany in World War II. A modern, industrialized nation, the Netherlands is also a large exporter of agricultural products. The country was a founding member of NATO and the EEC (now the EU), and participated in the introduction of the euro in 1999.
