As the Romans headed further into the dense forests, the skies opened up and a heavy rain soaked their clothes. Now that the threat of the rebels had been revealed, they burned or abandoned their wagons so that they could move faster and arrive at a safe Roman base. Throughout AD 8 and the early part of AD 9, Arminius used his position under the governor of Germania Inferior well, ostensibly promoting Rome whilst in reality welding the tribes together in an anti-Roman alliance, agreeing with his confederates that they would wait until the Roman garrison had moved to their summer quarters and then rise up against the invaders.

The consequences for Rome were enormous - the province of Germania was now virtually undefended and Gaul was open to a German invasion which although it never materialized, led a traumatized Augustus to decree that, henceforth, the Rhine would remain the demarcation line between the Roman world and the German tribes, in addition to which the destroyed legions were never re-formed or their numbers reused in the Roman Army: after AD 9, the sequence of numbers would run from I to XVI and then from XX onwards, it was as if the three legions had never existed. Tiberius had intended to depart from his station in Pannonia during that time, but a revolt in his province occupied his legions for three years. He crossed the country of the Sugambri, proceeded along the river Lippe , reached the Cherusci, and would have crossed the river Weser if the omens had been better. Elizabeth Peters Paperback Books. It was virtually impossible for them to form a battle line or strategic position, in which they were best at fighting, and intense conflict broke out as the Germans launched attack after attack up and down the Roman line. Furthermore, the rain ruined their bowstrings and ensured that the Roman archers would not be able to fight. The Sugambri knew they were doomed and decided upon a preemptive strike, but Drusus defeated them near the Rhine and in their homeland. History at your fingertips. Details if other :.

LOBBYING FOR THE CREATION OF THE WIC The Dutch Republic originated from a civl war, masked as a war for independence from the King of Spain, between 1568 and 1648. This Eighty Years’ War united the seven provinces in the northern Low Countries, but the young republic was divided on several issues: Was war better than peace for the Republic? Was a republic the best form of government, or should a prince be the head of state? And, what should be the true Protestant form of religion? All these issues came together in struggles for power. Who held power in the Republic, and who had the power to force which decisions? In order to answer these questions, this chapter investigates the governance structure of the Dutch Republic and answers the question what the circumstances were in which the WIC came into being. This is important to understand the rest of this dissertation as it showcases the political context where lobbying occurred. The chapter is complemented by an introduction of the governance structure of the West India Company (WIC) and a brief introduction to the Dutch presence in Brazil. 1.1. THE DUTCH REPUBLIC 1.1.1.

  • Britain and the Dutch Revolt 1560–1700 Hugh Dunthorne Frontmatter More Information
    Cambridge University Press 978-0-521-83747-7 - Britain and the Dutch Revolt 1560–1700 Hugh Dunthorne Frontmatter More information Britain and the Dutch Revolt 1560–1700 England’s response to the Revolt of the Netherlands (1568–1648) has been studied hitherto mainly in terms of government policy, yet the Dutch struggle with Habsburg Spain affected a much wider commu- nity than just the English political elite. It attracted attention across Britain and drew not just statesmen and diplomats but also soldiers, merchants, religious refugees, journalists, travellers and students into the confl ict. Hugh Dunthorne draws on pamphlet literature to reveal how British contemporaries viewed the progress of their near neigh- bours’ rebellion, and assesses the lasting impact which the Revolt and the rise of the Dutch Republic had on Britain’s domestic history. The book explores affi nities between the Dutch Revolt and the British civil wars of the seventeenth century – the fi rst major challenges to royal authority in modern times – showing how much Britain’s chang- ing commercial, religious and political culture owed to the country’s involvement with events across the North Sea. HUGH DUNTHORNE specializes in the history of the early modern period, the Dutch revolt and the Dutch republic and empire, the his- tory of war, and the Enlightenment. He was formerly Senior Lecturer in History at Swansea University, and his previous publications include The Enlightenment (1991) and The Historical Imagination in Nineteenth-Century Britain and the Low Countries

  • The Worlds of the Seventeenth-Century Hudson Valley
    1 The Seventeenth-Century Empire of the Dutch Republic, c. 1590–1672 Jaap Jacobs he overseas expansion of the Dutch Republic, culminating in the “First Dutch Empire,” is a remarkable story of the quick rise to prominence of a small country in northwestern Europe. Much smaller Tin population than European rivals like Spain, England, and France, and without considerable natural resources, the Republic was able within a few decades to lay the foundation for a colonial empire of which remnants are still part of the Kingdom of the Netherlands nowadays. This First Dutch Empire, running roughly from the beginning of the seventeenth century until the early 1670s, was characterized by rapid expansion, both in the Atlantic area and in Asia. The phase that followed, the Second Dutch Empire, shows a divergence in development between the East and West. In the East, ter- ritorial expansion—often limited to trading posts, not settlement colonies— continued and trade volume increased, but in the Western theater the Dutch witnessed a contraction of territorial possessions, especially with the loss of New Netherland and Dutch Brazil. Even so, Dutch trade and shipping in the Atlantic was not solely dependent upon colonial footholds, not in the least because the Dutch began to participate in the Atlantic slave trade. This Second Dutch Empire ended in the Age of Democratic Revolutions, when upheavals in Europe and America brought an end to both the Dutch East and West India Companies and led to the loss of a number of colonies, such as South Africa, Sri Lanka, and Essequibo and Demerara on the Guyana coast.

  • A FRISIAN MODEL Henryk Sjaardema
    THE INDIVIDUATED SOCIETY: A FRISIAN MODEL Henryk Sjaardema Preface It has long seemed to me that the dynamic of human activity is directly related to ecological variables within the society. It is the intimate rela- tionship of-the individual to the requirements of his society that not only channels human energies, but provides a framework for value orientations as well. It is as if society were a vast complex of machinery and man the kinetic force driving it. As machinery falls into social disuse, malfunction and inoperation, man must turn to new or alternative avenues or see his kinetic energy fall into disuse. When the crucial social machinery becomes patterned and routinized a surplus of human energy is made available. The stable society has a way of rechanneling these energies into other roles. Where these addi- tional roles are not present-where energy becomes constricted--social revolu- tions transpire. This study has been directed toward one socio-economic segment of Western man in which the role of the individual has been measured against the ecological requirements of the society. This pilot study is an attempt to probe variables which seem crucial to the rise of the individuated society. Introduction Purpose. To investigate the individuated basis for Frisian society. If the total society can be considered in its broadest sense, as a social configuration which transcends the normal limits of thinking built into political conceptions of the totalitarian state, my meaning will be made clear- er. This social configuration is one which places the requirements of the commun'ity on all levels above that of the commnity's individual constituents.

Its wealth was category. based on local industries such as textiles and breweries and the domination of the global trade market by the Dutch East India Company. This economic power translated into a sizeable urban middle class with disposable income to purchase art. As a result of the Protestant Reformation, and the absence of liturgical painting in the Protestant Church, religious patronage was no longer a major source of income for artists. Rather than working on commission, artists sold their paintings on an open market in bookstores, fairs, and through dealers. (c o n t i n u e d o n b a c k ) Jan Steen (Dutch, 1626–1679).

Before the conquest urn:nbn:at:at-ubi:2-15859 CHAPTER I BEFORE THE CONQUEST The Anglo -Saxons — the Germanic forefathers of the present English nation — emigrated from the country between the Rhine and the Elbe at various times during the fifth and sixth centuries; at least , towards the end of the latter century the Anglo -Saxons or English were masters of the land , and from that time dates the development of their dialects , which together form what is now usually called Old English. Yet we read of Low Dutch people in the British Isles long be¬ fore the fifth century , even before Caesar conquered the country, when people who lived in what is now known by the name of Flanders , were compelled by floods to emigrate , and came in sailless vessels and settled in the Isle of Wight and on the neigh¬ bouring south coast , arriving as friendly guests and remaining as invaders 1).

  • The Example of the Dutch Republic for American Federalism
    The Example of the Dutch Republic for American Federalism J.W.SCHULTENORDHOLT We may derive from Holland lessons very beneficial to ourselves. John Marshall in the Convention of Virginia 1788. I History is philosophy teaching by examples. That famous saying expresses the eighteenth-century approach to the past better than long explanations. The philosophers and political scientists of the Enlightenment were eager to find examples to justify their actual deeds and opinions. Perhaps the deepest reason for this quest for an imitable past is to be found in their belief in the unity of Western civilization. There was a great chain of being, not only in space, as has been so magnificently described by Arthur Lovejoy, but also in time. The presupposition of such a belief in the cohesive patterns of the past was the conception that there had been, through the ages, a certain uniformity in human behaviour. Man had never changed, that is why history could be used as a model. As David Hume put it: Mankind are so much the same, in all times and places, that history informs us of no­ thing new or strange in this particular. Its chief use is only to discover the constant and universal principles of human nature. The task of the historian was not in the first place to understand the past for its own sake, but, as Carl Becker remarks, to choose between good and evil, 'be- tween the customs that were suited and those that were unsuited to man's nature'.1That is exactly what men like James Madison and his friends were to do during that long summer of 1787 when they drafted the Constitution.

  • The Dutch Republic and Spain in the First
    DIECIOCHO 32.2 (Fall 2009) 1 MERCHANTS AND OBSERVERS. THE DUTCH REPUBLIC’S COMMERCIAL INTERESTS IN SPAIN AND THE MERCHANT COMMUNITY IN CADIZ IN THE EIGHTEENTH CENTURY.1 ANA CRESPO SOLANA CSIC (Madrid) Introduction Around 1720, the Dutch merchant colony in Cadiz succeeded in restoring trade with Amsterdam after several crisis periods. At the end of the 17th century and during the Spanish War of Succession, Dutch-Spanish trade went into a period of recession, although only in relative terms. Trade in general, just like everything else as far as the United Provinces were concerned, was affected by this ‘decline’ (Achteruitgang), as once described by Jonathan Israel or even by Jan de Vries himself. Holland stepped off the aggressive international scenario but continued its fruitful growth in the cultural and economic fields (Israel 378-395). The signs of such decline vary depending on the different sectors of Dutch foreign trade. To the minds of the merchants in the Maritime Provinces trading with vast overseas regions and for those that received their consignments at various European port-towns, Dutch trade and shipping was the mainstay of the economy of the countries where they had spread their commercial networks. One of those countries was Spain, especially the areas of influence of various ports in Andalusia, the Mediterranean and the northern coast. With regard to trade with France and even with England, the Dutch lost ground in financial terms, although their role as capital and financial marine services (freights, insurance), exporters as well as manufacture providers and re-exporters of colonial produce and certain raw materials, did not diminish.
