Produktbeschreibung

The Dutch revolt against Spanish rule in the sixteenth century was a formative event in European history. This important volume brings together the latest scholarship from leading experts in the field, to illuminate why the Dutch revolted, the way events unfolded and how they gained independence. In exploring the desire of the Dutch to control their own affairs, it also questions whether Dutch identity came about by accident.
