What's really shaped Europeans' identity? Historian Margaret MacMillan visits Amsterdam, exploring how a place bound to the sea and the globe developed its idea of Europe. Trade and consumption built up liberal values and the European 'way of life'. But how did a European colonial power relate to the outside world, and how does that history echo today? Producer: Chris Bowlby Editor: Bridget Harney.
