Traditionally isolated from mainstream European affairs, in 1914
the Dutch had no major allegiances that bound them to any one side
of the conflict. 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.
