About this listen
The Netherlands had a great century in the 1600s, until it all ended about three-fourths of the way along. Trading was all around; business was good. Their vast empire that reached across the world made money from spices, raw materials, metals, and so much more, with an extensive network of ships and merchants, and an entire army fleet.
The Dutch Golden Era was a time in Dutch history varying from about 1588 (the start of the Dutch Republic) to 1672 (the "Catastrophe Year"), throughout which Dutch trade, science, and art, and the Dutch armed force, were amongst the world's best. The Eighty Years' War, which ended in 1648, controls the first area. In the Dutch Republic, the Golden era lasted until the end of the century, when pricey fights like the Franco-Dutch War and the War of the Spanish Succession stimulated financial depression.
K. W. Swart, a historian, has called the Netherlands' change into the world's leading maritime and financial power the "Dutch Wonder".
In this audiobook, you will learn all you need to know about this gigantic superpower that ruled a large part of the world for nearly an entire century: the Dutch Empire.
