Short history
The name “Netherlands” is derived from the old Dutch word Dutch It means “forest”. At the beginning of the twelfth century, part of Holland was initially part of Friesland and people were called the Frisians. The Netherlands (part of western Friesland) became an independent region in the Holy Roman Empire at the end of the 9th century. The Netherlands eventually became part of the Burgundian Netherlands in 1432 and Habsburg in 1477.
From 158 to 1895, the region that now represents the Netherlands was known as the Seven United Republics of the Netherlands. In 1795, the French occupied the area known as the Batavian Republic. The republic was ruled by Napoleon Bonaparte from 1806 to 1810 through his brother Louis Napoleon and his son Napoleon Louis Bonaparte. During this time, the Netherlands made a great contribution to the prosperity of the region and the economy. Hence, from this period onwards, the name Holland was used as a synonym for the Netherlands as a whole.
However, from 1810 to 1813, the French Empire annexed the Netherlands, which was later divided into French departments Bosch de la Musa and Guterres. It was restored as a province in the United Kingdom of the Netherlands in 1815. After the Belgian Revolution, the Netherlands was divided into two provinces, North Holland and South Holland.
