As part of the exhibition "Luxemburger Bundeskontingent. Militär und Gesellschaft im 19. Jahrhundert":
Lecture by Mathieu Willemsen, curator of firearms at the National Militair Museum, Soest (NL).
In 1815, the Kingdom of the Netherlands was born from the merger of the Dutch Republic and present-day Belgium, with William I as King and Grand Duke of Luxembourg. This new state was intended to serve as a buffer between European powers to maintain continental balance. It united territories with distinct histories, all marked by Napoleonic occupation. The lecture will discuss the rapid reconstitution of the Dutch army under William I, focusing on the period 1815-1840, particularly the Belgian Revolution of 1830 and its effects on Dutch forces. The normalization of relations in 1839 ushered in a century of military peace.
