Throughout the 16th Century, the Spanish had an aura of
invincibility. They controlled a vast colonial empire that
stretched across the Americas and the Pacific, and held
considerable territories in Europe, centring on the so-called
'Spanish Road'. The Dutch War of Independence (also known as the 80
Years' War) was a major challenge to their dominance. The Dutch
army created by Maurice of Nassau used innovative new tactics and
training to take the fight to Spain and in so doing created a model
that would be followed by European armies for generations to come.
The second in a two-part series on the Dutch armies of the 80
Years' War, focuses on the cavalry, artillery and engineers of the
evolving armies created by Maurice of Nassau. Using specially
commissioned artwork and photographs of historical artefacts, it
shows how the Dutch cavalry arm, artillery, and conduct of siege
warfare contributed to the long struggle against the might of the
Spanish Empire.
