Hugo Grotius Annals of the war in the Low Countries
The Annals of the War in the Low Countries is one of Hugo Grotius' lesser-known works.

To convey this complex and controversial vision of the foundational years of the Dutch Republic, Grotius...

For the United Provinces, signing a peace with the archenemy without having brought liberty and religious freedom...
