6. Netherlands
The Women’s Corps was created in 1944for the very first time and the females in the Netherlands were amongst first to join the armed forces. Many women actively participated in the World War IIand became the first ever to fight in their country’s prestigious military. The Netherlands started to fully incorporate women into the armed forces in the year 1979 with an exception being made to the Submarine and marine services. However, considering the progressive minds of the Europeans it is expected that the bans will be lifted very soon.
