The Dutch Revolt of the 16th century, also known as the Eighty Years' War, was primarily led by William of Orange, also known as William the Silent. He emerged as the principal leader in the struggle against Spanish rule, advocating for religious freedom and political autonomy. His leadership galvanized support among various provinces, ultimately contributing to the establishment of an independent Dutch Republic. The revolt began in 1568 and culminated in the formal recognition of Dutch independence in 1648.

Was the maccabean revolt a rebellion against Hellenistic greek rule led by moses?

No, the Maccabean Revolt was not led by Moses; it occurred in the 2nd century BCE, long after Moses' time. The revolt was initiated by the Maccabees, a group of Jewish fighters led by Judah Maccabee, against the Seleucid Empire's Hellenistic influence and religious oppression. The revolt aimed to reclaim Jewish autonomy and restore traditional practices, culminating in the rededication of the Second Temple in Jerusalem.
