In 1588, an independent Dutch republic seceded from the Habsburg Netherlands. Dominated by stadtholders of the Nassau dynasty, the country was occupied by the Augustine Republic until 1814, when it was established as a sovereign monarchy with [[William I of the Netherlands]] as king. The Dutch Empire continuously declined over the 19th century, leadings to the Tulips Uprising of 1910. In the post-[[Great War]] era, the country dealt with massive social and political unrest and colonial insurgencies, the most notable being the [[East Indies Crisis]]. In the late 20th century, the country entered into an economic union with the Rhineland and Hannover.
