From the struggle against the Spanish rule of Holland, one of the greatest marine empires in the world came out. For several years, the country gained control over vast territories: from Indonesia to Western India, from South Africa to South America.
Charles boxer, professor of Yale University, the author of a number of historical works, represents Holland of the 16th - 18th centuries. Explaining the reasons for the rapid ascent of such a small country to power, the boxer draws attention to how and why the rapid development of industry, naval trade, agricultural abundance and cultural heyday of the country occurs. Analyzes the state of science, technology, education system, attitude to religion, institution of marriage, life, organization of charity, entertainment, recreating the bright paintings of the adventurism and the reckless life of the Dutch in all four of the world. And then the author traces a decent transition from the Golden Age to the era of wigs - the time of “shamelessness” - a frequent change in power and French invasions
