The Crimean Khanate was the strongest power in Eastern Europe until the 18th century. The Crimean Tatars played an invaluable role in defending the borders of Islam, especially against the Muscovites and Europeans. In order to prevent the Slavic settlement in the steppes, the Crimean Tatar war parties(cambuls), in cooperation with the Nogais engaged in raids to Danubian principalities, Poland-Lithuania, and Muscovy. In a process called "harvesting of the steppe" they enslaved many Slavic peasants, and acquired booty, from which the kh ...

In classical mythology, this took place during the reign of Cronus. Peace and harmony prevailed during this age. Humans did not grow old, but died peacefully. Spring was eternal and people were fed on acorns from a great oak as well as wild fruits and honey that dripped from the trees. The spirits of those men who died were known as Aimones and were guides for the later ancient Greeks (who considered themselves to live in the later Iron Age.) This race eventually died out when Prometheus (a Titan) gave the secret of fire to men. Zeus punished men, allowing Pandora to open her box which ...

Dutch architecture was taken to a new height in the Golden Age. Due to the thriving economy cities expanded greatly. New town halls, weighhouses and storehouses were built. Merchants that had gained a fortune ordered a new house built along one of the many new canals that were dug out in and around many cities (for defense and transport purposes), a house with an ornamented façade that befitted their new status. In the countryside new countr ...

The Low Countries witnessed a cultural development that stood out from neighbouring countries. With some exceptions (notably Dutch playwright Joost van den Vondel) baroque did not gain much influence. Its exuberance did not fit the austerity of the largely Calvinistic population. The major force behind new developments was formed by the citizenry, notably in the western provinces: first and foremost in Holland, to a lesser extent Zeeland and Utrecht. Where rich aristocrats often became patrons of art in other countries, because of their comparative absence in the Netherlands this role was playe ...

Calvinism was the predominant belief in the Low Countries. This does not imply that unity existed. The opposite seems true. In the beginning of the century bitter controversies between strict Calvinists and more permissive Protestants split the country. The latter (known as Remonstrants) denied predestination and championed freedom of conscience; while their more dogmatic adversaries (known as Contra-Remonstrants) gained a major victory at the Synod of Dordrecht. In the end the sheer number of reformist branches may we ...

Due to its climate of intellectual tolerance the Dutch Republic attracted scientists and other thinkers from all over Europe.

For instance French philosopher René Descartes lived in Leiden from 1628 till 1649. Dutch lawyers were famous for their knowledge of international law of the sea and commercial law. ...
