JOHN B. RONEY is a scholar of European history and teaches in the Department of History at Sacred Heart University. His areas of research focus on the smallest states in Europe that have managed to remain independent, including the Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg, and Switzerland, since the Renaissance.
