Dutch Naval Decline and British Sea-power Identity in the Eighteenth Century
During the eighteenth century, various British authors analysed the decline of Dutch naval power. Anticipating the politico-cultural frame of reference of the British political nation, they invoked the memory of the seventeenth-century Anglo-Dutch wars to dramatize the failure of Dutch sea power. They disagreed about the causes of this development, but seemed unanimous in their conviction that the British nation should not suffer a similar fate. …
Defending the flag of a torpid empire
In 1759, the VOC perpetrated a spectacular blunder. The Company’s management in Batavia took the decision to send an expedition to Bengal in order to hinder the EIC. The result was disastrous: the expeditionary force was defeated and the VOC could henceforth only continue its operations in Bengal at the sufferance of the British. Most historians have interpreted the expedition as ill-conceived. The ideological dimension seems to have gone complet…
The Dutch in the Early Modern World
Emerging at the turn of the seventeenth century, the Dutch Republic rose to become a powerhouse of economic growth, artistic creativity, military innovation, religious tolerance and intellectual development. This is the first textbook to present this period of early modern Dutch history in a global context. It makes an active use of illustrations, objects, personal stories and anecdotes to present a lively overview of Dutch global history that is…

Privateering as a language of international politics
In the period 1655–1665, between the First and Second Anglo-Dutch Wars, French and English privateers with Swedish and Portuguese commissions preyed on the shipping of the Dutch Republic. In this article, it is proposed that this activity was employed by the English and French governments as a language of international politics. In their toleration and, on occasion, defence of the use of foreign letters of marque by their subjects against a nomin…
The fleet as an ideological pillar of Dutch radical republicanism, 1650–1672
The premature death in 1650 of Willem II, Prince of Orange, enabled the regents of the States of Holland to institute a civil administration, the ‘True Freedom’, in the Dutch Republic. For much of this regime’s 20-year ascendancy the principal task of its head, Grand Pensionary Johan de Witt, was the defence of the country and its maritime commerce against a variety of international threats. De Witt took it upon himself to instigate the creation …

An early modern naval revolution? The relationship between ‘economic reason of state’ and maritime warfare
Introduction
The 36th annual conference of the International Commission of Military History featured a roundtable debate entitled ‘The military revolution at sea: trends and developments in early modern naval historiography’. Four scholars debated whether early modern naval warfare witnessed a revolution similar to the one some specialists believe took place in land-based warfare, and, if so, what its characteristics were. John Guilmartin argues that there we…
The role of mercantilism in Anglo-Dutch political relations, 1650-74
The three Anglo-Dutch wars of the seventeenth century are traditionally seen as mercantile confrontations. This view has been challenged by political historians. Firstly, this article discusses the historiographic developments in this field. Secondly, it aims to explore the relationship between Anglo-Dutch mercantile competition and political and diplomatic relations in the period 1650 to 1674. It favours an integrated approach in which all these…

Dutch radical republicanism and English restoration politics during the 1660s
In January 1665 the Second Anglo-Dutch War (1665–1667) finally broke out after years of increasing international tension. Historians are still debating the origins of this armed conflict. Three different explanations can be distinguished. A number of recent publications have revived and complicated the debate. This article discusses the ideological roots that, as S. Pincus claims, caused the war. His interpretation has received much attention dur…
The Fishing Industry as a Cause of the Second Dutch War, 1660–1667
Historians do not agree about the causes of the Second Anglo-Dutch War (1665–7). Most blame Anglo-Dutch competition over colonial and other rich trades. The dispute over the North Sea fishing industry was another important issue, but hardly any historian acknowledges this. In this article, some light will be shed on how the Restoration regime, and especially James Duke of York, tried to promote the English fishery in the 1660s, and how the rivalr…
