WI Louis, Duke of Nemours had been accepted as King of the Belgians instead of Leopold I ? And BTW, why wasn't he accepted in first place? I imagine that being the son of the French king might have something to do with it, but I'm not sure.

Leopold was proposed by the Great Powers to be King of Greece at first but he declined... If he had accepted the throne i guess that Duke of Nemurs would have been the only acceptable choice...
Because other Great Powers (well, GB mostly) were quite paranoid about France annexing Belgium
Off topic but I wonder; how exactly was Leopold related to Alfred (vicky's husband)?

and Louis, Duke of Nemours king of Belgium
will he take trone of France after 1871 ?
will he sell the flamish part of Belgium to Kingdom of Netherlands ?
and take the French part of Belgium in to France ?
I have a feeling that if Leopold had accepted the Greek throne instead of the Belgian throne France wouldnt liked that... Just too much British in the Mediterranean...
