Editor's Note:
Oorlogen overzee gaat over het Nederlandse militaire optreden buiten Europa in de vroegmoderne tijd. Dit fenomeen had te maken met de strijd tegen Spanje tijdens de Tachtigjarige Oorlog. De Republiek der Verenigde Nederlanden wilde handelen in tropische producten uit Azië, Afrika en Amerika waarop de Spanjaarden al een eeuw een monopolie bezaten.Om aan de andere kant van de wereld handel te drijven, moest een strijd worden geleverd. De staat had daarvoor geen middelen en liet de strijd over aan twee monopolistische handelscompagnieën: de VOC en de WIC.De VOC en de WICIn Azië wist de VOC door een slimme politiek van oorlog en diplomatie een machtig handels imperium op te bouwen dat bijna twee eeuwen standhield. De WIC begon in het Atlantische gebied met een groot offensief, maar was minder succesvol dan haar zustercompagnie in Azië.StrategieImperium bouwers zoals Jan Pieterszoon Coen en Johan Maurits van Nassau waren belangrijke personen in de strijd overzee. Hoe traden zij op, over welke middelen beschikten zij en had de militaire revolutie in Europa invloed op het expansieproces?Een prachtig uitgebreid overzichtOorlogen overzee is het eerste integrale overzicht van het Nederlandse militaire optreden in de vroegmoderne tijd. In thematische hoofdstukken wordt aandacht besteed aan de inzet van zeelieden, soldaten, schepen, wapens en de bouw van vestigingen, maar ook aan de confrontatie met de niet-Europese bondgenoot én tegenstander.Reeks Militaire Geschiedenis van NederlandOorlogen overzee is het vijfde deel uit de reeks Militaire Geschiedenis van Nederland.In de pers"Ook dit deel is door specialisten geschreven in een trefzekere stijl.
