In January 23, 1579 the northern seven provinces of the Low Countries signed the Union of Utrecht. In the declaration, these provinces are Brabant, Guelders, Holland, Flanders, Zeeland, Frisia, Mechelen and Utrecht. Although parts of Frisia where already free, the eastern half was held by Oldenburg. This Frisian speaking area known as Ommelanden, declared its separation from the influence of the Saxon city of Groningen. The province quickly joined the other parts of Frisia and followed the other Low Countries in 1581 in signing the Oath of Abjuration.Actions

Description
The Holy Roman Empire had a fragile balance, split between 10 major and nearly 400 minor states and principalities, as well as two opposing religions. The power of the Emperor is quite limited beyond his direct domains and the erratic and inconsistent behavior of some of them as Rudolph II increases frictions. In 1608, the Protestant city of Donauwerth refused Catholics the right to practice their cult and is banned from the Empire. As a reaction, most German Protestant states form the Evangelic Union to defend their freedom. The count of Oldenburg, however, stayed neutral.Actions
