ANTWERP's TRAGIC HISTORY

The fall of Antwerp serves to ac
centuate the fact that probably no
other important city in western ELL
rope has been the bone of so much
contention and the object of so many
attacks and sieges. The Significance
of its name-Aant Werp. meaning
AT the Wharf"-indicates its COM
mercial Importance. In this respect
It at one time surpassed Venice even
in the Middle Ages. the latter being
the clearing house between southern
Europe and the Levant: and Antwerp
the clearing house for central Eu-
rope, the British Isles and the Span
ish Main. In the middle of the Six
teenth Century, under the protection
of Charles ". Antwerp rose to be the
most prosperous and wealthy city on
the Continent. Vessels from every
port of the world lay at its docks in
the Scheldt, and over one thousand
commercial firms had their agents in
the city. Antwerp, like Vienna, was
the envy Of all Europe, and one coun-
try after another sought preteXt to
take the city By force. In 1866 the
Duke of Alva expelled thousands OF
the native merchants. giving their
BUSINESS over to the Spaniards: ten
years later the Spanish soldiers
burned and looted the city: nine
years after this came the siege OF
fourteen months and its capture by
the Duke of Parma. During these
years the city not only lost much OF
it's commerce. but its population
dwindled from 125.000 to 10000.
In 1G4S the final blow was deliv-
cred when under the Peace of West
phalia the River Scheldt upon which
its commerce was carried was closed
to sea-going vessels. The value of
the city as strategic base was rec
osnized by Napoleon I. who revived
it's commerce. His general, Carnot.
however, was forced to surrender to
the allies in 1914. The following
year the Congress of Vienna incor-
porated it with the country lying In
the southern part of 1.-THE Neither
