Hollandic Water Line

The Hollandic Water Line〔''Discover Holland's secret weapen'', Projectbureau Nieuwe Hollandse waterlinie〕〔http://www.hollandsewaterlinie.nl〕 ((オランダ語:Hollandsche Waterlinie), modern spelling: ''Hollandse Waterlinie'') was a series of water-based defences conceived by Maurice of Nassau in the early 17th century, and realised by his half brother Frederick Henry. Combined with natural bodies of water, the Water Line could be used to transform Holland almost into an island. In the 20th century, the Line was extended to include Utrecht.
==History==
Early in the Eighty Years' War of Independence against Spain, the Dutch realized that flooding low lying areas formed an excellent defence against enemy troops. This was demonstrated, for example, during the Siege of Leiden in 1574. In the latter half of the war, when the province of Holland had been freed of Spanish troops, Maurice of Nassau planned to defend it with a line of flooded land protected by fortresses that ran from the Zuiderzee (present IJsselmeer) down to the river Waal.
