Belgian Revolution
The Belgian Revolution was the uprising of 1830–1831 in which the southern provinces of the United Kingdom of the Netherlands broke away from King William I. It began with riots in Brussels after a performance of the opera La muette de Portici in August 1830, and a provisional government declared independence in October. The great powers recognised Belgium in 1831 under King Leopold I, and the Netherlands accepted it in 1839.
