Revolt of Netherlands, V1 is a historical book written by Friedrich Von Schiller. The book provides a detailed account of the Dutch Revolt, which took place in the 16th century. The revolt was a significant event in European history, as it led to the formation of the Dutch Republic and the eventual independence of the Netherlands from Spanish rule.Schiller's book covers the period from the early stages of the revolt in 1566 to the Battle of Turnhout in 1597. The author provides a comprehensive overview of the political, social, and religious factors that contributed to the uprising of the Dutch against their Spanish rulers. He also explores the key figures involved in the conflict, including William of Orange, the leader of the Dutch rebels, and the Duke of Alba, the Spanish governor of the Netherlands.The book is divided into several chapters, each of which focuses on a specific aspect of the revolt. Schiller's writing style is engaging and informative, making the book accessible to readers with a range of backgrounds and interests. The author also provides detailed footnotes and references, which add to the book's credibility and scholarly value.Overall, Revolt of Netherlands, V1 is an essential read for anyone interested in European history, particularly the events that led to the formation of the Dutch Republic. Schiller's detailed and insightful account of the Dutch Revolt provides a valuable perspective on this pivotal period in European history.A state constituted like this could act and endure with gigantic energy whenever pressing emergencies called forth its powers and a skilful and provident administration elicited its resources. Charles V. bequeathed to his successor an authority in these provinces little inferior to that of a limited monarchy. The prerogative of the crown had gained a visible ascendancy over the republican spirit, and that complicated machine could now be set in motion, almost as certainly and rapidly as the most absolutely governed nation. The numerous nobility, formerly so powerful, cheerfully accompanied their sovereign in his wars, or, on the civil changes of the state, courted the approving smile of royality.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
