Ten Days' Campaign

1831 · 19th century · Part of the Belgian Revolution

The Ten Days' Campaign was the Dutch invasion of Belgium in August 1831, an attempt by King William I of the Netherlands to reverse the Belgian Revolution. Dutch forces defeated the Belgian armies at Hasselt and Leuven, but withdrew when a French army entered Belgium to support the new state. The campaign left Belgian independence intact, although the Netherlands recognised it only in 1839.
