Franco-Dutch War

Let's go ahead, and let's look at our first war.

All right, our first war is going to be known as the Dutch War, and the Dutch War is going to take place between 1672 and 1678.

And here's the deal.

The Dutch were an economic powerhouse, and in reality, the reason the Dutch were an economic powerhouse is they had an economy that was based more on capitalist ideals than mercantilist ideals.

It's moving away from the medieval religious warfares kind of ideas.

All right.

That, in my opinion, is what you kinda need to know about the Dutch War, that a much smaller country is gonna win.

Okay, let's get on to our next one.

He again saw himself compelled to wait.

The King's Attempt to Favor Popery The English Parliament had separated in May of 1662, gratified by their triumph over the Presbyterians in the Corporation and Uniformity Acts.

They met again in February 1663 to find themselves confronted by an enemy whom they feared and detested with a still keener hate and terror.

The Corporation and Uniformity Acts had settled forever the limits of the church.

The Conventicle and Five Mile Acts were the answer of the church to the claim of dissent, not to legal recognition, but to the right to exist.

Number three, causes of the Dutch War.

While the Anglican Church was exacting to the utmost the vengeance she deemed her right for the injuries of twenty years and was asserting the supremacy which was to exist in the same tyrannous form for nearly two centuries, the country was reeling under the stress of a great naval war.

So sixty-seven, sixty-eight, War of Devolution, where France is confronted by a coalition of Spain, the Dutch, English, and Swedes.

Then you have the Franco-Dutch War in sixteen seventies, and you have a war between Spain, the, the whole War of the Reunion that again confronts the French, France's ambitions.

And that's just small conflicts.

Then we get in the big wars, like the Nine Years' War, which takes up most of the sixteen nineties, or even bigger one, the War of Spanish Succession, which takes all fourteen years of the first fourteen years of the eighteenth century.

And after the British Navy had defeated the Spanish Armada in 1588, the Spaniards began, slowly but surely, to lose their chance of making a permanent Greater Spain.

After the Great Dutch War, when Blake defeated Van Tromp in 1653, there was no further chance of a permanent Greater Holland.

And even before the Dutch War and the Armada, the Portuguese, who had once ruled the Indian Ocean, and who had conquered Brazil, were themselves conquered by Spain and shut out from all chance of establishing a greater Portugal.

So the supreme point to be decided by the Second Hundred Years' War lay between only two rivals, France and Britain.

He was born in England in 1652, became an orphan at an early age, and was put in the hands of the master of a ship in which he made a voyage to Newfoundland.

Afterward he sailed to the East Indies and then fought in the Dutch War in 1673.

The next year he went to Jamaica and became a buccaneer.

Soon he was familiar with the harbors, bays, inlets, and other features of the Caribbean coast and islands.

A grand opportunity to persuade a rather incredulous Parliament of his anti-French intentions now presented itself, and the King was not slow to take it.

During the Dutch War, the Grand Pensionary had been murdered by a mob, and the young Prince of Orange had been restored at the age of 21 to the Stadtholdership.

This Protestant prince, the lifelong enemy of the great French king, was now married, with the approval of Charles, to his cousin Mary, eldest daughter of James, Duke of York, the king's brother.

parliament was greatly pleased at this third marked success they voted a million and the astute king was able to add to his army he soon found however that he had only exchanged masters and as for Louis, his revenge was easy.
