| Summary | "History of the United Netherlands from the Death of William the Silent to the Twelve Year's Truce" by John Lothrop Motley is a historical account written during the late 19th century. The book narrates the events in the Netherlands and the geopolitical maneuvering involved from the death of William the Silent through to the Twelve Years' Truce, focusing primarily on the intricate relationship between England, France, and the Dutch Provinces during this tumultuous period. The opening of the book sets the stage for the complex diplomatic and military context of late 16th-century Europe. It introduces the hesitant yet pivotal policy decisions taken by Queen Elizabeth I of England regarding support for the Netherlands, especially after the assassination of William the Silent. The narrative details the various political factions, including the aspirations of the Dutch and their interactions with England and France while highlighting key figures like Roger Williams and statesmen within the Provinces. This segment hints at the ensuing tension and intrigue that characterized the efforts to secure political autonomy and religious freedom for the Netherlands amid the looming threat of Spanish dominance.
