What reading level is A General History of the World book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
1576-1585.
quence and who understood quite as well as Coligny, his father-in-law, how to extort advantage even from reverses, the insurgents defended themselves with success. Violence having failed, Philip wished to try mildness and replaced the Duke of Alva. But the army, left without pay and without provisions, sacked the principal cities. The general irritation gave rise to the confederation of Ghent (1576), which united for a time all the Netherlands against the Spanish rule.
Unfortunately ...this union could not long be maintained between the ten Walloon provinces, or modern Belgium, which were manufacturing and Catholic, and the seven Batavian provinces, or modern Holland, which were com- mercial and Calvinistic. Opposition of interests and beliefs was bound to bring about opposition of political views. In 1579 in fact the Walloons, by the treaty of Msestricht, recognized Philip II as their king. On the other hand the northern provinces made a closer union at Utrecht, and con- stituted themselves a republic, with William of Orange as stadtholder or governor general.
