Laura Manzano Baena Conflicting words
the Peace Treaty of Münster (1648) and the political culture of the Dutch Republic and the Spanish monarchy
The Peace of Münster, signed between the Catholic Monarchy and the United Provinces in 1648, went against the political culture of both polities. The fact that the Spanish Monarchy definitively accepted the independence of its former subjects clearly negated the policy put forward by the Monarchy during the 'eighty' years that the war lasted and to the Monarchy's declared main goals. For the United Provinces, signing a peace with the archenemy without having brought liberty and religious freedom...

Peter Van Kemseke Towards an era of development
the globalization of socialism and Christian democracy, 1945-1965
A world of difference separates global politics in 1945 from 1965. In the twenty years after the second world war, a 'Third World' was added to the Cold War concepts of the 'First' and 'Second' worlds, and post-war decolonization had ushered in an 'era of development'. For the first time ever, theories and policies to eradicate underdevelopment became prominent on the global agenda and advanced to the top priority on the United Nations' agenda. This international evolution inevitably had a dramatic...

Jaapjan Zeeberg Five journeys
through the Arctic and a new Russia in search of Willem Barents
This is a book about the amazing journey of people discovering the Arctic island of Novaya Zemlya, looking for traces of a small historical event against the backdrop of the ending of the Soviet Union. At the start of the age of exploration, the North Pole was believed to be hiding a continent, a land mass warmed by the midnight sun still inspiring today's 'Lost World' fantasies. In the summer of 1596, two ships departed from Amsterdam to sail by its shores. The nine-month struggle for survival of...

the Habsburg Court of Brussels and the politics of access in the reign of Albert and Isabella, 1598-1621
The splendor and enticement of the Archdukes' Court in Brussels The Habsburg Court of Brussels remains one of the few early modern princely courts that have never been thoroughly studied by historians.

weird mysteries, curious interpretations

Or we walk past some dusty pots in a museum but don't realize how they were made. We walk on and get on with the business of the day. Those stones?

Bert Thurlings Giants, wandering planets and lost knowledge
mysterious high-tech of the pharaohs, the demise of the giants and the prehistoric transatlantic contacts
Science is based on facts, that is common knowledge. But what if those facts contradict each other, what is true then? Does what "most scientists" think apply then? Rocks from the moon, collected with the Apollo flights, have an age of +/- 4.6 billion years. But one of them deviates seriously: 5.5 billion years old or even more. So what is the real age? Because people don't know, that one deviation is further ignored; after all, the majority points to 4.6 billion years anyway. But science is not...

Emerson Vermaat Soviet manipulation of 'religious circles', 1975-1986
The term "religious circles" was coined by the World Peace Council (WPC), an organization that during the Cold War was linked to the propaganda apparatus of the Atheist Communist Party of the Soviet Union (CPSU). In declassified reports Western intelligence services described the WPC as a Communist Party front organization. The communists of the former Soviet Union are usually referred to as "the Soviets." The Moscow-oriented communists also availed themselves of the Christian Peace Conference (CPC),...
