He is one of the most interesting figures in Dutch political history: Pieter Jelles Troelstra (1860-1930). Frisian folk hero, poet, enthusiastic parliamentarian, but above all founder of social democracy in the Netherlands. In 1918, however, he made a crucial error of judgment: gripped by the revolutionary élan then prevailing in Europe, he proclaimed the revolution in the Netherlands as well.
