Revolt of Netherlands, V1 is a historical book written by Friedrich Von Schiller, a German playwright, poet, and philosopher. The book is a detailed account of the Dutch Revolt, which took place in the 16th century and led to the independence of the Netherlands from Spanish rule.The book covers the events leading up to the revolt, including the religious and political tensions between the Dutch Protestants and the Spanish Catholics. It also describes the key players in the conflict, including William of Orange, the leader of the Dutch rebels, and the Duke of Alba, the Spanish governor who tried to suppress the rebellion.The book also explores the military tactics and strategies used by both sides during the conflict, as well as the social and economic impact of the war on the people of the Netherlands.Overall, Revolt of Netherlands, V1 is a comprehensive and engaging account of one of the most important events in Dutch history, and provides valuable insights into the political and social dynamics of the time.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.
