	History of Holland - Chapter XXI: The Stadholderless Republic, 1715-1740 (By George Edmundson)
		The commanding abilities of the great stadholders of the house of Orange-Nassau, and during the stadholderless period which followed the untimely death of William II, those of the Council-Pensionary, John de Witt, had given an appearance of solidarity to what was really a loose confederation of sovereign provinces.
		In the great days of John de Witt she contended on equal terms with England for the dominion of the seas; and Amsterdam was the financial clearing-house of the world.
		To William III the Republic owed its escape from destruction in the critical times of overwhelming French invasion in 1672, when by resolute and heroic leadership he not only rescued the United Provinces from French domination, but before his death had raised them to the rank of a great power.

	HOUSE OF ORANGE-NASSAU FACTS AND INFORMATION
		The House of Orange-Nassau (in Dutch ''Oranje-Nassau''), is a family that has played a central role in the political life of the Netherlands since William_I_of_Orange (also known as "William the Silent" and "Father of the Fatherland") organised the Dutch revolt against Spanish rule, which after the Eighty_Years'_War led to an independent Dutch state.
		Several members of the house served during this war and after as governor or stadtholder (Dutch ''stadhouder'').
		The main reason was a quarrel about the title Prince of Orange between John_William_Friso of the Frisian Nassaus, appointed heir in William III's will, and the King of Prussia.
