The Dutch East India Company pressured China, did piracy against them and seized their land.
Starting a war against China.
Which resulted in the siege of fort zeelandia, and a loss of Taiwan.
The Chinese then retaliated and imposed retaliatory restrictions on the Dutch, which resulted in their collapse.
Then Anglos, who pressured the Dutch into going for China, backstabbed them and took over their trade roots. England then seized all Dutch belonging.
Fast forward, the French captured the whole pathetic rest of the Netherlands in 1795 and the country ceases to exist.

After the Napoleonic Wars, the big powers of Europe decide that the Dutch should exist again and gave them the little land they have today.
