The New Cambridge Modern History, Vol. 3The New Cambridge Modern History, Vol. 3

THE half century between 1559 and 1610 must assuredly rank as one of
the most brutal and bigoted in the history of modern Europe. The
massacre in Paris on St Bartholomew's day in 1572; the calculated
savagery of the duke of Alba's Council of Blood and the wild atrocities of
the Calvinistic Beggars in the Netherlands; the persecution of the Moriscos
in Spain—these were merely the more spectacular barbarities of an age
unsurpassed for cruelty until our own day.

This volume is the first in the series called the "New Cambridge Modern History." Although the series purports to be a history of the world, with this volume covering the years from 1493 (the discovery of the new world) until 1520 (the time of Luther and the start of the religious wars), and although the series has more of a world view than does some United States text books, the series still shares the western European view of the world which is biased toward Europe and neglects Asia and Africa. Accordingly, the series remains a history of Europe rather than a history of the entire world.
