We did for a while, before the English wars.

Oh, and I must find a map of dutch settlements in Major Poland. |
Yeah, we had trading posts or small colonies in places few people know about. Japan, China, Spitsbergen (that's the island in the Arctic), we even had trading posts across the Middle East (this map doesn't even show all of them). Luxembourg was Dutch until about 100 years ago (and they couldn't even be arsed to pick a new flag when they finally became independent  ).

Well we have NZ in its current form. I think at the beginning of WWII we landed a boat on samoa and took it off the germans, so technically we had that too.

Now now, if you want a map of 'greater Israel' as in 'the maximum interpretation of bibleic promises', that would be it. However, this has never been a part of any political platform of any political party, before the creation of Israel, or after it, so it's meaningless to debate this. I am sure Hertzel may have envisioned something like that, but this isn't really wrong since at the time this was bordering science fiction, much like the creation of Israel, altogether. 'sides, at the time , the population of the region was sparse enough, and the jewish population was large enough, to consider the territory basically unoccupied. Now if you want to debate real political 'greater Israel' maps, dig one up.

But the Anglo-Saxons and the other Germanic tribes that invaded England after the fall of the Roman empire did of course come from continental Europe. Of all modern languages, Frisian (a Dutch dialect) is the language most similar to English (and Old English and Old Frisian are nearly identical).
