The Rise of the Dutch Kingdom, 1795-1813
A Short Account of the Early Development of the Modern Kingdom of the Netherlands
Produced by Andrea Ball & Marc D'Hooghe
"The Rise of the Dutch Kingdom, 1795-1813" by Hendrik Willem van Loon is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The work explores the emergence of the modern Kingdom of the Netherlands, highlighting its tumultuous transformation during the late 18th and early 19th centuries. The narrative likely delves into significant events like the fall of the old Republic, the impact of the French Revolution, and the eventual establishment of the Dutch monarchy. At the start of the book, the author sets the stage for the upheaval facing the Netherlands in 1795 amidst the backdrop of the French Revolution. The last Stadholder, William V, grapples with the decline of his authority as popular movements against his regime gain momentum, and the French armies advance into Dutch territory. In the prologue, van Loon introduces key players and political factions, showcasing the failures and eventual flight of the Stadholder. The ensuing chaos leads to the establishment of a provisional government, which is charged with constructing a new order amidst the complexity of revolutionary zeal and its accompanying challenges. This opening portion presents a rich tableau of historical context, setting the stage for a broader exploration of the Dutch national identity reborn amidst revolution and foreign influence.
