Summary "The PG Edition of Netherlands Series — Complete" by John Lothrop Motley is a historical account written in the mid-19th century. This work provides a comprehensive exploration of the significant historical events surrounding the rise of the Dutch Republic from 1555 to 1623, delving into the political, military, and social dynamics that contributed to its emergence. It discusses notable figures such as William the Silent, emphasizing the Republic's struggle against tyranny and the quest for self-governance. The opening of the narrative sets the stage for understanding the geographical, cultural, and political complexities of the Netherlands during its formative years. Motley describes the transformative events and social changes that shaped the region, including the impact of external powers and internal conflicts among the various tribes and nations inhabiting the territory. He outlines early struggles against Roman dominance and highlights the fierce resistance of the Batavians, providing a rich tapestry of the motivations and character of the people that ultimately led to an enduring spirit of independence and political organization. This historical context serves as a foundation for the subsequent chapters, which promise to further explore the intricate evolution of the Dutch Republic.
