Everything about the Habsburg Netherlands totally explained
The
Habsburg Netherlands was a geo-political entity covering the whole
Low Countries from 1482 to 1556/1581 and solely the
Southern Netherlands from 1581 to 1794. After 1581 it was also known as the
Spanish Netherlands or the
Austrian Netherlands.
It was held by the
Duke of Burgundy (1506-1555), the
King of Spain (1555-1706) or the
Archduke of Austria (1716-1794), all from the
house of Habsburg. It was ruled on his behalf by a
governor.
It briefly revolted from the Habsburgs from January to December 1790 to join the
United States of Belgium, at the end of which it reverted into the Habsburg Netherlands. It finally ceased to exist in 1794 when it was annexed by the
First French Republic.
