YouTube Description
as posted by the channelThe concept of Greater Netherlands is a historical and cultural notion that envisions a political and territorial union of Dutch-speaking regions beyond the borders of the modern Kingdom of the Netherlands. It encompasses the idea of uniting the Netherlands and Flandres. This concept has deep historical roots, stemming from the shared language, culture, and historical ties of these regions.
Historically, the concept of Greater Netherlands gained prominence during the 19th century as a response to the Belgian Revolution and the subsequent division of the Low Countries. Advocates of Greater Netherlands aimed to reunify Dutch-speaking territories, but the political realities and national identities of the countries involved have largely prevented its realization.
Note that the Greater Netherlands isn't the same as Pan-Netherlands (Whole Netherlands) which encompasses the Low Countries (Netherlands, Belgium, and Luxembourg) into a single state, as it was during the times of the United Kingdom of the Netherlands.
