Abstract
The Revolution which turned Belgium into an independent state in 1830 marked a fresh turning point in a history full of rapid changes of regime. In 1792, the ‘Southern Netherlands’, which had previously been under Austrian control, were incorporated into the French Republic together with the prince-bishopric of Liège. After the fall of Napoleon, these same areas were added in 1815 to the Dutch Republic, which had in the meantime been transformed into a kingdom; they now formed part of the ‘United Kingdom of the Netherlands’, which was governed from The Hague. Barely 15 years later, this union too came to an end: a series of riots in Brussels led to a split between north and south, between the Netherlands, now halved in size, and the new state of ‘Belgium’.KeywordsFourteenth CenturyNational ViewNational HeroMedieval TextMedieval HistoryThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors.
