Lenin's Tomb on the Dutch Revolt

This is a great piece of writing from Lenin's Tomb. I wanted to link to it here because it covers a period of European history that I have been studying recently. What is particulary fascinating about this period is the stage in the development of modern states. It was a turbulent time with the Reformation seeping through Europe challenging the old order of things. This article covers in great detail some of those changes. I'm not going to reproduce any of it here, you'll just have to go and read the whole thing.
