Europe 188 years ago today: Belgian Revolution (23 Sep 1830) https://buff.ly/2Dppzra The overthrow of King Charles X in France in July 1830 inspired revolutions across Europe, most notably in the United Kingdom of the Netherlands, where the Catholic Belgians rebelled against the Protestant Dutch. With Great Power approval, the Kingdom of Belgium was declared in 1831; although it was not until 1839 that the Netherlands would recognize the new country. #europe #history #welovemaps #map #1830 #1830s #belgium #europeanhistory #france #germany #hanover #hesseelectoral #luxembourg #netherlands #saxony #september #september23 #maps #belgianindependence #lowcountries #kingdomofbelgium #historybuff #historygeek (at Brussels, Belgium) https://www.instagram.com/p/BoEFXF8g7Au/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=18ymme0cizsff
