Question: I know that the answer to the question "How would you guess the people who the Union of Utrecht had a more long term hope?" is in "In 1579 a number of the northern provinces of the Low Countries signed the Union of Utrecht, in which they promised to support each other in their defence against the Spanish army. This was followed in 1581 by the Act of Abjuration, the declaration of independence of the provinces from Philip II.". Can you tell me what it is?
Answer:
Act of Abjuration, the declaration of independence of the provinces from Philip II
