The Dutch trade during the Anglo- Dutch wars. The Anglo-Dutch wars were instigated by differences over trade between the Dutch Republic and the English Commonwealth
"The direct use of force is such a poor solution to any problem; it is generally employed only by small children and large nations".1 Wars are never a solution to a problem, as was found by both the Dutch Republic and England after the Anglo-Dutch wars. The Anglo- Dutch wars were a series of wars between England and the Dutch Republic in the seventeenth and eighteenth century. The start of the Anglo-Dutch wars coincides with the height of the Dutch Golden Age as well as the reformation of England into a Commonwealth under its new leader Oliver Cromwell. The end of the Anglo- Dutch wars also signified the end of the Dutch Golden Age. Since the Dutch Republic had found the rout to India under Cornelis Houtman and Jan Huyghen can Linschoten the Dutch Republic started to become one of the largest trading nations in the world.2 The Golden Age was approximately a century in which the Dutch Republic was among the richest and most prosperous countries in the world because of it international trading empire. The Anglo-Dutch wars were instigated by differences over trade between the Dutch Republic and the English Commonwealth and those same differences combined with the events which occurred during the wars in turn caused one war after the other war. In total there were 5 Anglo- Dutch wars, the first starting in 1651 and the fifth one ending in 1801. The Anglo- Dutch wars caused the
The Dutch Republic
The Dutch Republic The Dutch Republic consisted of 7 provinces. During the golden age of the republic, mostly within the 17th century, these provinces represented a unified force, powerful in trade, war, and economics. Many of the Dutch ideas developed then helped to determine the view of the modern world. The United Provinces, as the republic was also called, also became a model for modern constitutional governments. The Peace of Utrecht in 1713, however, marked the beginning of a steady decline for the Dutch republic. After this, many factors in Europe began to challenge the prosperity, unity, and security of the Dutch Republic. In the 16th century, the Dutch Republic represented one of the most prosperous and economically stable states in Europe. Early Dutch trade rested in the fishing industry. From their knowledge of the sea and shipbuilding, the Dutch built an industry on shipping. This successful industry allowed the Dutch to be able to buy large quantities of resources and products from surrounding countries. They then sold these huge purchases to individual buyers and ended up with a successful trade. The people of the United Provinces enjoyed one of the highest standards of living in Europe. However, the decline of the Dutch Republic began when it became very involved in the war of the Spanish Succession from 1701 to 1713. The war created a great drain on the
Dutch Difficulties with English Dialects.
Dutch Difficulties with English Dialects Knowledge of the Dutch language is not sufficient to be understood all over the world. Therefore, many Dutch people have taken the effort to acquire a level of near-native proficiency of the English language. However, there are several varieties of English, for example Irish and Scottish dialects. Nevertheless, the majority of the Dutch have learnt British English instead of Scottish, Irish. Why would this be the case? Although the Irish and Scottish dialects are closely related to the British English language, it remains more difficult for Dutch people to acquire this language. This can be explained by the fact that British tradition is more integrated in the Dutch culture, and RP is more often heard in the media than Scottish and Irish pronunciation. Also, the use of Scottish and Irish is diminishing, because an international pressure to create uniformity in the English language forces dialects to disappear gradually. Dutch learners have better opportunities to acquire British English instead of Scottish or Irish dialects. The British tradition is more integrated in the Dutch culture than Scottish. Of all the major modern Germanic languages, Dutch is the closest relative of English. The Dutch language contains many French loanwords, though not as many as the English. The German language contains less French loanwords than English or
The Dutch attack on Landguard Fort.
The Dutch attack on Landguard Fort. Q 1. Source A tells us that the Dutch attacked with about one-thousand men, in five-hundred small vessels and landed near Felixstowe cliff. Many of these soldiers had pikes. Silas Taylor, the author of the source, says that "some part" of the Dutch army attacked the fort, which is an early indication of the rear guard left behind. This also points to a possible reason for the failure of the attack, in that the Dutch did not attack with the full force of their army. He says that one English soldier was killed, two were wounded and that the Dutch made two attacks. He says the Dutch attacked boldly, but were as boldly and resolutely answered. However, he could be saying that the Dutch attacked boldly to make the English defence sound even better. We are told that the Dutch were put to "fright and flight" by the small guns from a galliot. The small guns from this ship were fired into the area were the Dutch were taking cover, and pebbles were thrown up which made them retreat. This source gives the overall impression that the Dutch made a strong attack, but were "boldly" answered by the English. The reliability of this source, however, is questionable, as it was written by an English man, who is bound to be biased towards his own country. Also, he was watching form Harwich, which is roughly two miles from Felixstowe. Q2. Source F does
Dutch paintings of the seventeenth century
The seventeenth century was a period during which Dutch society underwent dramatic change. Spain's cultural and spiritual domination finally ended in 1648, after years of sporadic fighting, when Holland formally became recognised as a republic. This new status had a profound political, social, and economic effect on the country, which was reflected in the visual arts of the period. The role of patronage also underwent changes, as the artists could no longer rely on the support of the church and aristocracy, leaving painters to find alternative markets for their works. These new circumstances also led to conspicuous changes in the style and subject matter of their work. With the signing of the Treaty of Munster in 1648, Holland finally broke free from the domination of the Spanish Court, and adopted a democratic style of Government.(V:pg514.) The power of the Dutch crown was considerably reduced, and the monarch, Prince William of Orange became a figurehead rather than a ruler. The artists had depended almost entirely on the patronage of the nobility, who commissioned large works to grace the walls of their palaces and stately homes. But the changes in Holland and the constitutional reforms led to the privileges enjoyed by the aristocracy becoming curtailed at this time. This restriction of privilege ultimately led to many of the aristocracy leaving Holland, taking with them

The Dutch Attack on Landguard Fort - 2nd July 1667
GCSE History Coursework The Dutch Attack on Landguard Fort, 2nd July 1667 . Source A tells us a lot about the failure of the Dutch attack on the Fort. It was written by Silas Taylor, Storekeeper at Harwich Naval Dockyard. He was observing from Beacon Hill, Harwich. This may be reliable because the information is first hand and not passed down. On the other hand it may be biased because it was written by an English Harwich Naval Dockyard storekeeper. He may have for example over exaggerated the Dutch landing numbers of "about 1000 men in about 50 small vessels and boats" to make the English victory seem grander than it was. We know that the defences at the fort were too strong for the Dutch invaders even after two, probably re-grouped assaults, as source A says ''where with the death of one & wounding of two they were forced to retreat after two assaults: they came up boldly but were as boldly and resolutely answered." When Silas says, "they came up boldly but were as boldly and resolutely answered", this backs up the idea that the fort was too strong for the Dutch to enter. This could also be praise to the bravery and determination of the English rather than the strength of the fort. "The Dutch were put to Fright and Flight by the two or three small Guns out of a little Galliot (small ship) firing amongst the shingle, which covered them from Sight of the Fort, scattering

Why was the unity of the Dutch Republic so short lived?
Why was the unity of the Dutch Republic so short lived? Unity is a remarkable attribute for a country to possess; it induces stability, pride and prosperity. However the Dutch Republic has always been under scrutiny due to the fragility of its existence. Evidence for the divisions within the Republic are recurrent throughout the period, apparently "It was vital to know whether a Dutchman was an Amsterdammer or a Leidanaar or a Haarlemmer."1 It is clear from this that the separate provinces retained their separate identities, was a type of unity possible in this manner? And if so, was it this factor of detached unity alone, which prevented the Republic from maintaining any sort of unification? It is important to discover why the inhabitants of the republic never felt secure despite a largely prosperous and influential position within Europe, and furthermore, what factors affected the inability for, ultimately the Netherlands, but essentially the republic to unite and remain together. Established in 1579 and collapsing in 1795, the Dutch republic existed over two centuries within the Netherlands. Understanding the formation of the Republic is imperative in order to comprehend how unity or disunity occurred throughout its existence. The Union of Utrecht in 1579 was the starting point for the Republic, where the provinces of Holland, Zeeland, Utrecht, Gelderland, overijssel,
