Laura Manzano Baena Conflicting words
the Peace Treaty of Münster (1648) and the political culture of the Dutch Republic and the Spanish monarchy
The Peace of Münster, signed between the Catholic Monarchy and the United Provinces in 1648, went against the political culture of both polities. The fact that the Spanish Monarchy definitively accepted the independence of its former subjects clearly negated the policy put forward by the Monarchy during the 'eighty' years that the war lasted and to the Monarchy's declared main goals. For the United Provinces, signing a peace with the archenemy without having brought liberty and religious freedom...

Bouko de Groot Dutch armies of the 80 Years' War 1568-1648 (2): Cavalry, Artillery & Engineers
Tekst op achterflap: The 80 Years' War began with a limited Dutch rebellion seeking only religious toleration from their Spanish overlords, but ended with an independent republic recognized as a global power. During the phase between 1588 and 1610 Maurice of Nassau built a new, tightly-drilled infantry which set an example for the rest of Europe. But cavalry also remained a decisive asset; and the campaigns he and his successors led included some 150 sieges, which depended upon artillery and engineers....
