Foreign people.
Let me explain to you something that is often mixed up.
A huge dilemma.
The difference between Holland and The Netherlands.
This is actually quite easy to explain. Let's begin. The Netherlands is divided up into 12 provinces, you also have the Dutch Antilles somewhere in the Caribbean but don't mind those, not important. Holland is only a term for 2 of those provinces.
See that extremely serious looking red circle that surrounds the yellowish area and the pinkish/reddish area? That is Noord Holland (North Holland), where you can find Amsterdam, and Zuid Holland (South Holland), where you can find The Hague (Den Haag). Together they are Holland.
So basically Holland is only a part of The Netherlands. It's provinces versus country. I hope I cleared the air a little and that you found this interesting or educational or whatever.
Love, Me
