Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Complete Works of John L. Motley, Vol. 1 These volumes make a separate work in themselves. They form also the natural sequel to the other histories already published by the author, as well as the necessary introduction to that concluding portion of his labors which he has always desired to lay before the public - a history of the Thirty Years´ War. For the two great wars which successively established the independence of Holland and the disintegration of Germany are in reality but one, a prolonged Tragedy of Eighty Years. The brief pause which in the Netherlands was known as the Twelve Years´ Truce with Spain was precisely the epoch in which the elements were slowly and certainly gathering for the renewal over nearly the whole surface of civilized Europe of that immense conflict which for more than forty years had been raging within that narrow precincts of the Netherlands. The causes and character of the two wars were essentially the same. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
