Lecture 1: the revolt and the republic
The Dutch as a nation. Before the 16th century the Dutch as a nation did not exist. The Dutch
economy does not exist. Why not? Because the economic interwovenness especially with
the German Hinterland and with all kinds of overseas continents is so intense that it is
nonsense to say, “we cut that piece of the economy, that economic region apart”.
The Netherlands is one of the first countries in the world that did not produce its own food.
It needed interaction with other parts of Europe, because otherwise it could not survive.
In the 16th and 17th century the Netherlands was very strong, later it became a normal
European country.
In the Netherlands there were only minorities. Charles the V made sure the Dutch empire
remained an entity. When he was abdicated, his unpopular Spanish son would rule the
Netherlands.
Three reasons for revolution. 1 ever higher taxation. 2 centralizations. 3 suppression of
religion.
