[quote=The Nexerus] Let's continue down that train of thought, then. If Belgium being reunited with the Netherlands was an event that contributed to the war, then wouldn't the separation of Belgium in the first place also be a contributing factor, since it was the reason that the reunification occurred?The War of the Eighth Coalition began as a result of resistance to the idea of self-determination and the national will on the part of the Allied powers.@Pasta: Not a single Prussian entered Belgium until after the Dutch had advanced into Flanders. [/quote] The Separation of Belgium occurred 30 years prior. And the Prussian Empire should have declared war on the Netherlands for bring war on the continent. And the 8th Coaltion began as a way to manipulate the ToC so that Prussia could gain power. There is nothing else around it. From what I understand, Prussia was contacting y'all during/immediately after the ToC.
