    The signing of the Peace of Westphalia in 1648 ended the Thirty Years’ War and brought about the formation of the independent Dutch Republic, a coalition of the seven provinces of the Netherlands.

By dominating most trading routes in the Baltic and Atlantic Seas, the Dutch Republic earned recognition as an influential nation. This booming economy would eventually encounter challenges during the late 17th century that would cost the Dutch their monopoly over trade routes and influence amongst other European powers. The decline of the Dutch Republic…

    The trials of Prynne, Bastwick and Burton, and Hampden reveal much about the religious and political controversies under Charles’ Personal Rule, the most significant arguably the Divine Right of Kings, a political and religious doctrine of royal absolutism. It asserts that a monarch is subject to no earthly authority, deriving his right to rule from God. Closely connected with this was the introduction and often imposition of the Laudian religious policy, which preached that the institution of Bishops was by jure divino. This was openly criticised by William Prynne, Henry Burton and John Bastwick. The determination of the king to enforce retribution on those who opposed religious reform is clearly illustrated by the punishments inflicted on these three puritan pamphleteers. Prosecutions in the Star Chamber invoked sympathy for the victims and unease towards the suspected tyrannical nature of royal authority.…

The Thirty-Years War was ended and peace negotiated by ambassadors, and was not due to any power involved dealing a decisive victory. The balance of power also resulted in previously powerful nations such as Spain relegated to a second class power due to failures in both military might, and the authority and abilities of its ruling…
