Bol A highly illustrated study of the battle of Nieuwpoort in 1600, one of the key engagements of the Eighty Years War. A highly illustrated study of the battle of Nieuwpoort in 1600, one of the key engagements of the Eighty Years War.The Eighty Years' War began as a limited Dutch rebellion seeking only religious tolerance from their Spanish overlords, but it quickly escalated into one of the longest wars in European history. Spain’s failed invasion of 1599 and the mutinies that followed convinced Dutch leaders that they now should go on the offensive. This campaign pitted two famous leaders’ sons against each other: Maurice of Nassau and Archduke Albert VII. One led an unproven new model army, the other Spain’s ‘unbeatable’ Tercios, each around 11,000-men strong. The Dutch wanted to land near Nieuwpoort, take it and then march on to Dunkirk, northern home port of the Spanish fleet, but they were cut off by the resurgent and reunited Spanish army. The two forces then met on the beach and in the dunes north of Nieuwpoort.Using specially commissioned artwork , this book reveals one of the greatest battles of the Eighty Years' War – one whose influence on military theory and practice ever since has been highly significant.
