Germany in the 19th century

Germany had always been a large, divided empire. 

In 1871, Germany united. 

Effect: a new power balance in Europe. 

The Kingdom of the United Netherlands

did not agree with the Dutch king.

The Belgians succeeded and got their own nation 

in 1830.

Multi-nationstates: countries where more than 1 people lived in a country (Ottoman Empire / Austria Hungary)

Do you think it would be a good idea if the Netherlands and Belgium would unite again? Explain why or why not.
