4.9/5 (14690 ratings)

Description:¿Por qué la España de los Habsburgo, el estado más rico y poderoso de Europa, fracasó en su intento de dominar la revuelta holandesa? ¿Cuáles fueron los objetivos y el programa político de España en los Países Bajos después de 1567? ¿Cómo procuró realizarlo? ¿Por qué no lo consiguió? La mayor parte de los relatos de la evolución histórica de los Países Bajos en el siglo que mdia entre 1550 y 1650 se centran en el carácter de oposición a España de la revuelta, en las razones por las cuales vencieron los holandeses. Pocos historiadores contemporáneos consideraron la revuelta desde el otro lado, desde una España enfrentada a una embarazosa sublevación que tenía lugar en una lejana provincia de su imperio.... Uno de los primero trabajos sobre la nueva historia militar que explica po qué España, uno de los imperios más poderosos del mundo, fracasó al suprimir la sublevación holandesa.-----------------------------The publication of The Army of Flanders and the Spanish Road in 1972 marked the birth of the 'new military history', which emphasised military organization - mobilization, pay, supply, morale and, above all, logistics - rather than military 'events' such as sieges and battles. Geoffrey Parker studies one of the great logistical feats of early modern Europe: how Habsburg Spain managed to maintain and mobilise the largest army in Europe in an 80-year effort to suppress the Dutch Revolt, 700 miles away. Using a unique combination of surviving records, he presents the logistical problems of fighting wars in early modern Europe, and demonstrates why Spain failed to suppress the Dutch Revolt. The book has been constantly cited since its first publication in English (with translations into Spanish and Dutch). This revised second edition includes some new sources and updates some references but otherwise remains faithful to the original version.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
