This episode explores the Reformation in the Low Countries—modern-day Netherlands, Belgium, and Luxembourg—where religious reform collided with imperial politics and sparked a long struggle for independence. We trace the rise of Protestant movements, the brutal Spanish repression under Philip II, and the leadership of William of Orange, culminating in the Dutch Revolt and the emergence of a Protestant north and Catholic south. The story reveals how faith, national identity, and resistance to foreign rule reshaped northern Europe. Let us know in the comments!
