Rewind: The year is 1815...

Kingdom of the Netherlands 

(1815–1830)

After Napoleon: old borders & kings restored (Congress of Vienna).

New kingdom: Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg -> William I becomes king.

                                                                                           Big divide:

                                                                                           North = Dutch, Protestant, trade

                                                                                           South = French, Catholic, industry

                                                            1830: Belgium revolts → becomes independent.

1848 – Europe 

             in Revolt 

Revolutions across Europe → demand for constitutional reform.

• France becomes a republic.
• King William II fears revolt in the Netherlands.

Chooses reform over resistance.

Constitutional reform = grondwettelijke hervorming

1848 Constitution 

(from a conservative to a progressive view of politics)

• King loses power, ministers now in charge.
• Second Chamber elected (by rich men only).
• First step toward Dutch democracy.

Full male voting rights: 1917.

Chooses reform over resistance.

Conservative view = wil alles houden zoals het is 🛑

Progressive view = wil verandering en vooruitgang 🔄
