Pax Hispanica

The Pax Hispanica (Latin for "Spanish Peace") refers to a period of twenty-three years coinciding with renewed Spanish ascendancy in Europe (roughly 1598–1621), when Spain achieved European stability after various conflicts with the Kingdom of France, the Kingdom of England and the Dutch United Provinces. Peace was achieved by several treaties: Spain, the foremost great power of the time, had been mired in conflicts with the Dutch since the reign of Philip II. After this, Spain held the peace in Europe for nine more years, when the Twelve Years' Truce ended.
