The Dutch Republic was one of the great European powers during the
17th and 18th centuries. Generally, the Dutch Republic was
considered to have lost that status after the Peace of Utrecht
(1713); however, when the Republic entered the War of Austrian
Succession in 1740, it was able to field an army for over 80,000
men, which expanded to over 110,000 men during the war, and was
still a European power to be reckoned with. The losses it suffered
in that conflict led to a period of decline, which in the end would
result in the end of the Republic in 1795. But despite the years of
neutrality, shortages, budget cuts and reorganizations, the army
was still quite a formidable force. The purpose of this book is to
focus on the uniforms and organisation of that army, from the Peace
of Utrecht until the reforms of 1772. Volume I dealt with the
history of the Dutch Republic after the War of the Spanish
Succession, up to the first campaigns of the War of the Austrian
Succession, with information on the uniforms, organisation and
tactics of the infantry. Volume II describes steady decline of the
Dutch Republic; political turmoil and corruption form the
background for the information on the uniforms and tactics of the
cavalry, dragoons, artillery, and specialist troops.
