Sir Henri Deterding (1866-1939): A Pivotal Figure in Dutch and World History Sir Henri Deterding, born in Amsterdam on February 4, 1866, is a significant figure in Dutch and world history, best known for his exceptional career with the Royal Dutch Petroleum Company. Beginning as a humble bank clerk, Deterding's dedication and acumen led him to join the Royal Dutch Oil Company in 1896. By 1900, he had risen to the position of general manager. Deterding's contributions to the Allied forces during World War I were invaluable, earning him the honorary title of Knight Grand Cross of the Order of the Dutch Lion (K.B.F). His efforts were instrumental in ensuring a steady supply of oil to the Allies, a crucial factor in their eventual victory. This remarkable achievement was immortalized in the late Lord Curzon's poignant remark: "He floated the Allies to victory on a sea of oil." This evocative photograph captures Sir Henri Deterding at his desk, deep in thought, surrounded by the trappings of his successful career. The image serves as a testament to his remarkable journey from a modest beginning to becoming a pivotal figure in Dutch and world history. Sir Henri Deterding's legacy extends beyond his professional accomplishments, as he played a crucial role in shaping the global oil industry and the outcome of a major global conflict. This historical photograph is a poignant reminder of his enduring impact on the world stage.
