Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Campaign of in France and Belgium IT needs but little research to lead the fair-minded student to the conclusion that, behind the immediate causes Of the great war, there were others Of Old standing and wider pur port, combinations and divisions Of interest which, for many years, had brought upon the European family penalties only less heavy than those Of open conflict. Several times Of late, the same States had narrowly escaped this calamity; and, in the teeth Of a growing desire for settled peace, the preparations for war on land and sea were everywhere stead ily increased. These increases Of armament (as in the Anglo German naval rivalry, and the German and French return to three-years army service) were always dangerous, not only as direct threats, but, indirectly, as alterations Of the balance Of means to ends other than national defense, the most important Of which ends were the acquirement Of (1) foreign possessions, (2) Spheres Of special or exclusive eco nomic interest, (3) political predominance, either in Europe generally, or in particular areas. Every one of the Great, and several of the small, Powers had fished in these troubled waters; and there was not one Of them that could Show perfectly clean hands. Even Belgium, not so long since, was being held accountable for the heritage Of misrule in the Congo. There were no angelic States; all had dabbled in the imperial vices, from land-grabbing to diplomatic intrigue. Nevertheless, it may be said that there were many and not inconsiderable differences in the bias Of their policy, due, for the most part, neither to original sin, nor to abnormal virtue, but to historical and geographical circumstances for.

Download or read book Rome and the Classic Maya written by Rebecca Storey and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-01-20 with total page 541 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume compares two of the most famous cases of civilizational collapse, that of the Roman Empire and the Classic Maya world. First examining the concept of collapse, and how it has been utilized in the historical, archaeological and anthropological study of past complex societies, Storey and Storey draw on extensive archaeological evidence to consider the ultimate failure of the institutions, infrastructure and material culture of both of these complex cultures. Detailing the relevant economic, political, social and environmental factors behind these notable falls, Rome and the Classic Maya contends that a phenomenon of “slow collapse” has repeatedly occurred in the course of human history: complex civilizations are shown to eventually come to an end and give way to new cultures. Through their analysis of these two ancient case studies, the authors also present intriguing parallels to the modern world and offer potential lessons for the future.

Download or read book Belgium Italy and Switzerland Classic Reprint written by George Edmundson and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-06 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Belgium, Italy, and Switzerland The internal history Of the Belgic provinces has little to record during this long period in which the ambition Of Louis XIV. To possess himself Of the Netherlands, in right Of his wife the infanta Maria Theresa, led to a series Of invasions and desolating wars. The French king managed to incorporate a large Slice Of territory upon his northern frontier, but his main Object was baffled by the steady resistance and able statesmanship Of William III. Of England and Holland. Meanwhile from 1692 onwards brighter prospects were Opened out to the unfortunate Belgians by the nomination by the Spanish king Of Maximilian Emanuel, elector Of Bavaria, to be governor-general with well-nigh sovereign powers. The elector had himself a claim to the inheritance as the husband Of an Austrian arch duchess, whose mother, the infanta Margaret, was the younger sister Of the French queen. Maximilian Emanuel was an able man, who did his utmost to improve the condition Of the country. He attempted to promote trade and restore prosperity to the impoverished land by the introduction Of new customs, laws and other measures, and particularly by the construction Of canals to counteract the damage done to Belgian commerce by the closing Of the Scheldt. The position Of the elector was greatly strengthened by the partition treaty Of the r9th Of August 1698. Under this instrument the signatory powers - England; France and Holland - agreed that on the demise of Charles II. The crown prince Of Bavaria under his father's guardianship Should be sovereign Of Spain, Belgium and Spanish America. Charles II. Himself shortly afterwards by will appointed the Bavarian prince heir to all his dominions. The death Of the infant heir a few months later (6th Of February 1699) un fortunately destroyed any prospects Of a peaceable settlement Of the Spanish Succession. Charles II. Was persuaded to name as his sole successor, Philip duke Of Anjou, the second son of the dauphin, and on his death (on the Ist November I 700) Louis XIV. Took immediate ste s to support his grandson's claims, in spite of his formal renunciation Of such claims nu er the treaty Of the Pyrenees. England and Holland were determined to prevent, however, at all costs the acquisition Of Belgium by a French prince, and a coalition, known as the Grand Alliance, was formed between these two powers and the empire to uphold the claims Of the archduke Charles, second son Of the emperor.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Belgium Old New With wealth pouring in from all quarters, art natur ally followed in the wake of commerce. Nowhere was the cultivation of architecture more general than in Flan ders. Knowledge of the Middle Ages is so imperfect that little can be written with certainty about the men who designed and built the wondrous cathedrals and guild halls; but it is believed that these superb structures owe the1r origin to a great secret masonic league or guild, bound probably by religious vows, with headquarters in France and the Netherlands, and branches elsewhere in Europe. To a branch of this league are attributed the splendid buildings with which the Netherlands adorned the twelfth and fifteenth centuries. Chief among these buildings were the cathedrals of Flanders and Brabant (motley). Burgher opulence and energy are grandly and vigorously expressed in the secular buildings of these towns. For example, we have the Hall of the Cloth Makers (destroyed in at Ypres; Town Hall at Bruges, 1284; Council House at Bruges, 1377; Council House at Brussels, 1401 - 5 5; the still more magnificent Town Hall at Louvain, belonging to the second half of the fifteenth century; and that at Oudenarde, built in 1527 - (destroyed in 1915) (lubke's History of Art.
