Netherlands History
The Netherland's early history is linked with Belgium
and Luxembourg; the three were known as the 'Low Countries' until the 16th century
when the present-day Netherlands' boundaries were roughly drawn. Originally the
land was inhabited by tribal groups: the Germanic Batavi drained the sea lagoons
while the Frisii lived on mounds in the remote north. In the late 16th century
the region's northern provinces, inhabited by recent converts to Protestantism,
united to fight the Catholic Spanish rulers. Philip II of Spain sent the cruel
Inquisition to enforce Catholicism, and war broke out in 1568. The revolt of the
Netherlands was led by Prince William of Orange, nicknamed William the Silent
for his refusal to enter into religious arguments. After 80 years of conflict
Holland and its allied provinces expelled the Spaniards in 1648, and Holland became
synonymous with the independent country that emerged in this corner of Europe.
In 1795 the French invaded and Napoleon appointed his younger brother Louis as
king. When the largely unpopular French occupation came to an end, the United
Kingdom of the Netherlands - incorporating Belgium and Luxembourg was born. The
first king, King William I of Orange, was crowned in 1814, and the House of Orange
rules to this day.
