Clearly reading the "wrong" merchants 😉

Get into the Andrew Russell papers in the Dutch Republic. There lies a world of intrigue, espionage, revolutionaries.... the link beween tha VOC, WIC, the EIC..... boring Scottish coastal commerce, banking, privateering, the Baltic dilema....

oh, and trade.

Tssk. You experts and your pesky evidence-based interpretations! What's wrong with believing every spittle-coated lump of bile that drops from the various orifices of a hypocritical grifter with the intellect of a gnat? After all, he only has mankind's best interests at heart ...

Correct me if I am wrong, but #Farage has no higher university education, let alone in the discipline of #history.

He is thus in no position to judge interpretations of history

Sure, there is seldom a single orthodox historical truth, but it is for qualified Historians to debate.

Eighty years after WWII’s end, the consensus it forged is crumbling
On Sept. 2, 1945, Japan surrendered, launching an era of alliances and trade. Now, with memories of the war fading, so is the consensus on how to avoid a repeat.

He defended his claim, but was he really "bovvered" about it as his single, or main goal?

Dr Cynthia Fry tackled this in her thesis on Jacobean foreign policy

Some interesting options pre-1603.
