Geographically and economically caught between two of the major belligerents, Great Britain and Germany, the Netherlands was constantly vulnerable to attack from either side. In adopting a position of neutrality at the beginning of the war, the Dutch took a huge gamble. The internment of approximately 50,000 foreign troops in the Netherlands, some for almost the entire four years of the war, provided an important showcase for the Dutch Government to demonstrate its adherence to international law and its impartiality towards the all of the belligerents.History of Warfare86.World War, 1914-1918NetherlandsNeutralityNetherlandsHistory20th centuryWorld War, 1914-1918Diplomatic historyWorld War, 1914-1918Prisoners and prisons, DutchPolitical refugeesNetherlandsHistory20th centuryPrisoners of warNetherlandsHistory20th centuryWorld War, 1914-1918NeutralityHistoryWorld War, 1914-1918Diplomatic history.World War, 1914-1918Prisoners and prisons, Dutch.Political refugeesHistoryPrisoners of warHistory940.3/25492Wolf Susanne1609501MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910810157703321Guarded neutrality3936791UNINA
