interstingly belgium was part of netherlands until it split under the treaty of london in 1839.however full separation ie french speakers joining france wasnt permitted.the powers at the time didnt want to make france more powerful. the flemish speakers (closely rleated to dutch) were catholic.basically the netherlands was split between protestant north and catholic south. though it could have easily been split in 3.or even an alternative 2Originally Posted by lopez
as for unionists. if the antionalist voted for a 32 county ireland id bet my house on a civil war. though concessions would be needed to the unionists (even switching the capital to belfast from dublin might be needed) and doubtlessly given there would still be a large element bent on mayhem. youd probably need the un!
