The ''History of the Revolt of the Netherlands'' is a historical work written by the renowned German poet and playwright, Friedrich Schiller. Originally published in 1788, this book provides a comprehensive account of the Dutch Revolt against Spanish rule that took place in the 16th century. The book is divided into three parts, each covering a different phase of the conflict. Part One describes the initial outbreak of the revolt in 1566 and the subsequent Spanish repression of the Dutch people. Part Two covers the period from 1572 to 1584, during which the Dutch gained important victories against the Spanish and established the Dutch Republic. Part Three focuses on the final phase of the conflict, including the assassination of William of Orange and the eventual recognition of Dutch independence by Spain in 1648. Schiller’s account of this pivotal moment in European history is both engaging and informative, offering readers a fascinating insight into the political, cultural, and religious factors that contributed to the Dutch Revolt. This edition of the book was published in 1895 and includes a preface by the translator, who provides additional context and commentary on Schiller’s work. Overall, ''History of the Revolt of the Netherlands'' is a must-read for anyone interested in European history or the development of the modern nation-state.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
