The Golden Age: Trade, Art, and Movements during the Dutch Golden Age

The Netherlands had a great century in the 1600s, until it all ended about three-fourths along the way. 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, merchants, and an entire army fleet.

The Dutch Golden Era was a time in Dutch history varying circa from 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. Throughout the Dutch Republic, the Golden era lasted till the end of the century, when pricey fights like the Franco-Dutch War and the War of the Spanish Succession stimulated financial decrease.

K. W. Swart, a historian, has called the Netherlands' change into the world's leading maritime and financial power the "Dutch Wonder."

In this book, you will learn all you need to know about this gigantic superpower that ruled a big part of the world for nearly an entire century: The Dutch Empire.
