Antwerp rose and fell not by armies or walls, but by control of the River Scheldt. This documentary explains how geography turned an inland port into the economic and strategic heart of Western Europe. From medieval trade dominance and the fall of Bruges, to the Dutch closure of the Scheldt, Napoleonic reconstruction, and the decisive Battle of the Scheldt in World War II, this film shows how river access shaped empires, trade networks, and military outcomes. A factual, map-driven history of how a single waterway determined power across centuries.
