Adding the Siege of Leiden and the Groenedijk Monument[edit]

== 1574 Relief of Leiden == --Noahverel97 (talk) 22:07, 1 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I am working on a wikipedia article that does not exist yet. It will focus on a monument on the dyke at Capelle aan den IJssel which is one of four locations where William the Silent commanded the dykes to be destroyed in order to stop Spanish soldiers at Leiden. In the Dutch Revolt article there sadly is no mention of the Siege of Leiden as far as I can tell. Perhaps this should be added.

Dutch Revolt[edit]

The idea that this revolt came from the Northern Provincies is wrong. Many cities in Brabant and Flanders like Ghent, Doornik, Oostende formed the core of the early Protestant revolt that only later spread to the North. It is a myth that the North was more protestant than the South still believed by many in The Netherlands and Belgium. Centuries of seperation stand between historians that should speak the same Dutch language and should acknowledge the importance of the Southern struggle that resulted in the independance and wealth of the North. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.86.90.39 (talk) 15:42, 27 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The later phase of the Eighty Years War[edit]

This article extends further than what historians consider to be the Dutch Revolt. The war from 1568 until 1648 is The Eighty Years War, the early phases of which (and the years preceding it) are referred to as the Dutch Revolt. The phase after Twelve Years' Truce is no longer referred to as the Dutch Revolt. The south remained loyal to the Hapsburg and the north was already de facto independent. Hence, it is no longer a revolt. Dutch Revolt - Twelve Years' Truce (1609–1621) should be the final chapter of this article. Oda86 (talk) 14:23, 10 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Revolt in the Southern Netherlands[edit]

This may be a difficult issue to resolve but the article focuses entirely on the revolt in the parts of The Netherlands that actually managed to become independent. No attention is paid to, for example, the calvinist republics of Bruges, Brussels and Ghent. Together with Antwerp, these cities were already in revolt at a time when Amsterdam was still resolutely loyal to Philips II. This is understandable because historiography in The Netherlands has spent more attention to this time period as it is considered the birth of their nation while for Belgium the resolution of the Dutch Revolt heralded a period of decline.

In general the English Wikipedia doesn't seem to have any information about these short lived republics nor does it pay much attention to revolt in the southern part. For those who understand Dutch, Calvinistische_republiek on the Dutch language Wikipedia might be a good start. I'm considering adding Template:Missing information to this page.Oda86 (talk) 15:13, 10 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Little Ice Age should be mentioned[edit]
