Dutch Mexicans (Template:Lang-nl) are Mexican citizens of Dutch descent.

Statistics

The number of Mexican citizens of Dutch descent is unknown. INEGI only includes the concept of African descent in its Population Census.[2] Mexican citizens of Dutch descent is sometimes confused with two other concepts, namely Dutch immigrants to Mexico and residents of Mexico born in the Netherlands.[3] The number of Dutch immigrants to Mexico is measured through immigration statistics and totalled 1,509 in 2009.[3] The Population Census asks for the place of birth of a person. In 2020 there were 1,221 residents in Mexico who were born in the Netherlands.[2]

History

People from what is now the Netherlands emigrated to Mexico as early as the 16th century.[4] One of the first may have been Enrico Martinez who translated in the trial of Simon Pereyns.[4]

The first group of immigrants of Dutch descent to settle in Mexico were Mennonites between the late 19th and the early 20th century.[citation needed] Under the protection of the emperor Maximiliano de Habsburgo and later president Plutarco Elías Calles, religious Mennonites of German and Dutch immigrants settled in the states of the north and the southeastern Mexico where Plautdietsch is still spoken today, a German dialect called "Niederdeutsch" or "Plattdeutsch" in Low-German terminology that is spoken along the border between the Netherlands and Germany.

The Porfiriato, because of its political stability and its growing financial credibility, and the incipient Dutch industrialization spurred investments and trade. The Netherlands sent diplomats to Mexico to conclude new treaties that were signed between 1899 and 1909, but relations with the nation continued to be dispatched from the Dutch legation in Washington. Muller (1905) and De Veer (1910) tell that some Dutch started tobacco and coffee plantations in Mexico, but Dutch immigration was generally scant, although the Mexican government was interested in attracting good farmers and dairy farmers to Mexico and made it clear that there was room for Javanese workers on the sugar and cocoa plantations. However, the most important trade with Mexico was concentrated, as before, in Antwerp. Dutch trade in Mexico was carried out mainly from the port of Rotterdam and reflected the increasing modernization of industry and the Mexican railway. The Netherlands exports, for example, rails, coal and coke. But the total Dutch export to Mexico was less than half a million guilders a year, much less than the Belgian trade with Mexico.[5]

In terms of investments, the Netherlands were much more important than Belgium. In 1910, many Dutch investments in Mexico were already in fifth place, after the United States and the three great European powers. At that time, the maatschappij voor hypothecair credit Holland-Mexico (Holland-Mexico Mortgage Credit Society) and the Hollandsch Transatlantische Handelsvereeniging (Dutch Transatlantic Commercial Association) existed in Mexico City. It was not surprising that the Dutch colony in Mexico City, still dependent on the Netherlands Legation in Washington: four days by train - insisted several times after 1900 on a diplomatic representation in Mexico, because Belgium already had it for years.[5]
