Trade Wars of England with the Hanseatic League. Struggle in the Baltic for the Markets of Russia and the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth in the Elizabethan Era

Henrik Zin presents Anglo-Baltic trade and political relations in the "golden age" of English history, marking England's economic and political expansion at a turning point in its socio-economic development. It describes how, during the reign of Queen Elizabeth, after a fierce struggle with the monopoly of the Hanseatic League for markets, the country achieved an independent position in trade relations in the lands of the North and Baltic Seas. The information is based on numerous statistical materials, various types of customs documents, particularly port books, which vividly illustrate the growth of foreign trade in the 16th century.
