Description: | During the Dutch-Spanish wars there was terrible fighting here because the city chose to fight on the Spanish side in the 80 years war. Groningen lost its independence and soon thereafter allied itself with the Republic of Seven United Netherlands. In the middle of the 80 years war, in 1614, Groningen University was founded. This is the second oldest university (Leiden has the oldest one). |
