Sack of Antwerp - Stuff That I Find Interesting

The video discusses the failed attempt by the Duke of Anjou to take Antwerp, known as the French Fury, and the devastating Spanish Fury, where unpaid Spanish mercenaries sacked Antwerp. The Spanish Fury had significant economic impacts, leading to the decline of Antwerp as a trade center and contributing to the rise of the Dutch Golden Age and the English textile industry. The events also influenced political alliances and religious tolerance in the region.
