520			_a"History of the United Netherlands, 1588" by John Lothrop Motley is a historical account that falls within the genre of history writing, specifically focusing on the political landscape and events of the Netherlands during the late 16th century. Written in the mid to late 19th century, the book examines the period surrounding the Dutch struggle for independence from Spanish rule, detailing the complex interactions and conflicts involving prominent figures of that time, including the political machinations of England and the influence of Queen Elizabeth I. The narrative unfolds against the backdrop of the tensions between Spain and the emerging Netherlands, emphasizing the tumultuous political relationships and rivalries among Dutch leaders and their English allies. Central themes include the discord within the Dutch states, the role of Count Maurice of Nassau as a pivotal figure in the fight for independence, and the overarching threat posed by Spain under Philip II. Motley's detailed portrayal of events in 1588, including the resignation of Leicester and the internal strife among the provinces, illustrates how these political divisions impacted military strategies and the larger struggle for freedom. The historical account not only highlights the clashes and decisions that defined this era but also offers insights into the broader implications for European politics, particularly regarding the clash between Catholicism and Protestantism during the Reformation.
