United Kingdom of the Netherlands (1815–1839) ((オランダ語:Verenigd Koninkrijk der Nederlanden), (フランス語:Royaume uni des Pays-Bas)) was the unofficial name for the Kingdom of the Netherlands ((オランダ語:Koninkrijk der Nederlanden), (フランス語:Royaume des Belgiques)〔Encyclopædia Universalis, ''Belgique, Histoire, 8. La parenthèse française et hollandaise (1795-1830)'' (http://www.universalis.fr/encyclopedie/belgique-histoire/8-la-parenthese-francaise-et-hollandaise-1795-1830/). Encyclopædia Universalis, ''Pays-Bas, 7. Révolution et restauration 1780-1830'' (http://www.universalis.fr/encyclopedie/pays-bas/7-revolution-et-restauration-1780-1830/).〕) during the period after it was first created from part of the First French Empire and before the new Kingdom of Belgium split off from it in 1830. This state, a large part of which still exists today as the Kingdom of the Netherlands, was made up of the former Dutch Republic (Republic of the Seven United Netherlands) to the north, the former Austrian Netherlands to the south, and the former Prince-Bishopric of Liège. The House of Orange-Nassau came to be the monarchs of this new state. The United Kingdom of the Netherlands collapsed after the 1830 Belgian Revolution. William I, King of the Netherlands, would refuse to recognize a Belgian state until 1839, when he had to yield under pressure by the Treaty of London. Only at this time were exact borders agreed upon.〔Originally, the official title of William I, King of the Netherlands, was: in Dutch: ''Koning der Nederlanden''; in French: ''Roi des Belgiques'' (''Belgiques'' in the plural); in Latin:''Rex Belgii'' (in the singular and not in the plural ''Rex Belgiorum''). After the Belgian Revolution, the Belgian monarch has been called ''King of the Belgians''. In Dutch: ''Koning der Belgen''; in French: ''Roi des Belges'' (and not ''Roi de Belgique''); In Latin: ''Rex Belgarum'' (and not ''Rex Belgii'').〕 Nowadays, the Benelux Union (created in 1944 between Netherlands, Belgium and Luxembourg) is in some ways a "distant heir" of the former United Kingdom of the Netherlands. Their respective political systems are very similar and Dutch is the official and vernacular language of 83% of its total population. ==Background== After the liberation of the Netherlands in 1813 by Prussian and Russian troops, it was taken for granted that any new regime would have to be headed by William Frederik of Orange-Nassau, the son of the last stadtholder William V of Orange-Nassau and Princess Wilhelmina of Prussia. William returned to The Hague, where on 6 December he was offered the title of King. He refused, instead proclaiming himself "Sovereign Prince" of the Principality of the United 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「United Kingdom of the Netherlands」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
