About this audiobook

How did the Dutch Revolt lead to the creation of the Dutch Republic and change European politics? This book explores the Dutch Revolt (1568-1648), a war of independence fought by the northern provinces of the Netherlands against Spanish Habsburg rule. It examines the causes of the revolt, including religious tensions between Protestant Dutch and Catholic Spain, economic factors, and political oppression by the Spanish Crown. The narrative follows the key events of the war, including the formation of the Union of Utrecht and the critical military victories that eventually led to Dutch independence. By analyzing the significance of the Peace of Westphalia, which recognized Dutch sovereignty, the book explores how the revolt laid the foundation for the rise of the Dutch Golden Age, marked by economic prosperity, maritime dominance, and cultural achievements.
