"Despite the floods that immediately descended on his creation, Peter remained passionately devoted to it, calling it from the very first years his 'paradise' and 'Eden'. In just the same way, the Dutch adoringly referred to their country as Paradisus Batavus, a reference to the Batavians, a tribe that had inhabited the Netherlands area in ancient times. In his undertakings, the tsar was undoubtedly motivated by the example of the Dutch, who had withstood and conquered the sea, and of Amsterdam, the port at the centre of world trade." -Amazon.
