Description

Revolt of Netherlands, Volume 2 is a historical work written by Friedrich Von Schiller that chronicles the Dutch Revolt against Spanish rule in the 16th century. The book focuses on the period from 1572 to 1584, during which the Dutch gained significant victories against the Spanish, including the capture of several key cities. Schiller's account provides a detailed examination of the political and military strategies employed by both sides, as well as the social and economic factors that contributed to the conflict. The book also explores the role of religious tensions, particularly the rise of Protestantism in the Netherlands, in fueling the rebellion. Throughout the text, Schiller emphasizes the bravery and determination of the Dutch rebels, who fought against overwhelming odds to secure their independence. He also highlights the contributions of key figures such as William of Orange, who played a crucial role in organizing the rebellion and rallying support from other European powers. Overall, Revolt of Netherlands, Volume 2 offers a comprehensive and engaging account of one of the most significant conflicts in European history. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the political, social, and military history of the Netherlands and Europe during the 16th century.The example and success of Antwerp gave the signal of opposition to all the other towns for which a new bishop was intended. It is a remarkable proof of the hatred to the Inquisition and the unanimity of the Flemish towns at this date that they preferred to renounce all the advantages which the residence of a bishop would necessarily bring to their local trade rather than by their consent promote that abhorred tribunal, and thus act in opposition to the interests of the whole nation.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
