Europe and the Decline of Spain: A Study of the Spanish System, 1580–1720 (Routledge Revivals) - Tapa blanda

Europe and the Decline of Spain (Paperback)

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. First published in 1981, Europe and the Decline of Spain deals with the slow ebbing of Spanish power, its melancholy, long, withdrawing roar during the long seventeenth century of pre-industrial Europe. The author looks at the fortunes of Spanish European hegemony from its apogee late in the reign of Philip II to its ultimate failure and dissolution about a century later.The author examines the dynamic spiritual and material resources of Spain as a politico-military system of continental dominance and control. He places the system in a context of continuous general European war, and structures and events in Spain and its provinces are set in this context.A feature of the book is the description of changing approaches to the Spanish system by its major adversaries. This, along with a fresh look at the events themselves, has conditioned a reinterpretation of Spains political decline which stresses its centrality to an overview of the whole period. First published in 1981, Europe and the Decline of Spain deals with the slow ebbing of Spanish power, its melancholy, long, withdrawing roar during the long seventeenth century of pre-industrial Europe.
