The History of United Netherlands 1584 to 1586 is a comprehensive historical account of the events that took place in the Netherlands during the years 1584 to 1586. The book is authored by John Lothrop Motley, an American historian and diplomat who is best known for his works on the Dutch Republic.The book covers a period of intense political and military conflict in the Netherlands, which was then under the rule of the Spanish Habsburgs. The central figure in this conflict was William the Silent, the Prince of Orange, who led the Dutch rebels in their struggle for independence.The book provides a detailed account of the military campaigns, diplomatic efforts, and political intrigues that took place during this period. It also explores the social and cultural aspects of life in the Netherlands at the time, providing a rich and nuanced portrait of the country and its people.Motley's writing is characterized by his vivid descriptions, lively storytelling, and meticulous attention to detail. He draws on a wide range of sources, including official documents, personal correspondence, and contemporary accounts, to provide a comprehensive and authoritative account of this important period in Dutch history.Overall, The History of United Netherlands 1584 to 1586 is an essential read for anyone interested in the history of the Netherlands, the struggle for independence, and the broader political and social context of Europe in the late 16th century.The Queen was disappointed, but stood firm. She had been slow in taking her resolution, but she was unflinching when her mind was made up. Instead of retreating from her, position, now that it became doubly dangerous, she advanced several steps nearer towards her allies. For it was obvious, if more precious time should be lost, that Holland and Zeeland would share the fate of Antwerp. Already the belief, that, with the loss of that city, all had been lost, was spreading both in the Provinces and in England, and Elizabeth felt that the time had indeed come to confront the danger.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
