Greater Netherlands ((オランダ語:Groot-Nederland ''or'' Dietsland)) is hypothetical Dutch-speaking polity formed by the fusion of Flanders and the Netherlands. The movement, which reached its peak before the Second World War, is generally associated with ethnic nationalists and the political far-right. The Greater Dutch movement is divided on the political form the polity would take, including a confederation, a federation, or a unitary state. More expansive versions may include the additional fusion of French Flanders, the formerly Dutch-speaking areas of Germany, or even the ethnically Dutch and/or Afrikaans-speaking parts of South Africa and Suriname. ==Terminology== The potential country is also known as Dutchland (''Dietsland''), which uses the word ''Diets'' - an archaic term for Dutch. This label was popular until the Second World War, but its associations with collaboration (especially in Flanders), mean that modern supporters generally avoid using it. "Greater Dutch Movement" or "Greater Netherlandism" (''Grootneerlandisme'') are other terms used while in literature it is also called the "Greater Dutch Thinking" (''Grootnederlandse Gedachte''). "Whole-Netherlands" or "Burgundism" (after the historical Burgundian Circle) are other terms that were used for the country, but these names are now used for a movement that aims to combine all of the Low Countries as a single multilingual entity, which would be similar to the former United Kingdom of the Netherlands), also including Wallonia, Luxembourg, and Northern France (most likely Nord-Pas de Calais). The Prince's Flag is sometimes used by Greater Dutch groups, because in the Eighty Years' War it was used by supporters of William I of Orange, seen as the leader of the revolt. It was also used as the flag of the Dutch Republic and United Kingdom of the Netherlands but today is generally associated with the far-right in the Netherlands. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Greater Netherlands」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
