In 1830 lukte het op die manier anders wel.
Maar dat waren geen nationalisten, zeker?

Heu, zonder wapens? Nee hoor, zwaar gewapend geweld, gestuurd vanuit Frankrijk. En daarna nog 10 jaar genadeloze repressie tegen de orangistisch gezinde meerderheid van de burgerij.
Citaat:
The ten day's campaign.
Battles were fought almost every day to repel the Belgian troops. And, the Dutch army was successful in this. During the Battle of Boutersem, the Dutch also managed to defeat a part of the Belgian forces. During this violent encounter the horse of the commander-in-chief, the prince of Orange, was hit by a cannonball. The prince himself was unharmed. In the painting we see a wounded officer offering the prince another horse. The prince’s own mount (at the left) was later put out of its misery. The next day, 12 August 1831, a battle was fought with another part of the Belgian army near Louvain. The Belgians were on the verge of losing this encounter as well. It was then that the 70,000 men strong French army came to the rescue of the Belgian troops. The prince of Orange ordered a retreat and signed a ceasefire that very same day.
