Larger kingdom of the low countries (Netherlands) a sketch

This are just some thoughts about events which happened during 3 centuries which evolve in a larger united low countries.
I call it low countries and not Netherlands or Belgium, even the Dutch republic will be the core State, since it will evolve the geographical low countries.

It is just a sketch, so some years or names are incorrect, there for I like to see your comments.

Event happen as in OTL, I just high light some event which could led to a larger State at the estuary of the large North West European rivers.

17th century

1636
Willem Kieft a merchant is service of the WIC dies at OTL Ghana from malaria.

1645
After a long almost endless debate the State General decided not to lengthen the Charter of the West Indian Company (WIC)
The WIC was evolved in a costly war in Brazil. The war against Spain was coming to its end and a lot of traders especially from Amsterdam saw more benefit in a peace with Portugal than a costly war. Also a lot af traders had serious doubt of the effectiveness of a monopolistic company as the VOC ( East Indian company) in the Atlantic trade.

The back side was that the States general was responsible for the over seas possession of the WIC.
Decided was to sell charters for smaller for the trade on West Africa and the Carabieen.

For Brazil and Nieuw Holland it took responsibility it self.

In 1646 peace was signed between the United Provinces and Portugal.
For Brasil this meant all possesion remained as it was as in 1640 which meant that the United Provinces was the owner of an enormous part of land north of the river Sao Fransesco.
In a hasty attempt to get control back in this colony Maurice of Nassau Siegen was asked if he would like to be Governor again. A request he accepted with pleasure.
How ever after he left Brasil in 1644 the situation detoiated and he found a colony almost ruined. The region of Maranaho for example was defacto independent.

1648 Peace of Munster and Westphalia

Nieuw Holland or Nova Belgica at the Hudson river is a small but more and more thriving colony of hunters, farmers and fur traders.
Initially much limited by the rules of the WIC the colonist took matters soon in their own hand and from 1636 on a council of civilians made sure the demand of the colonist were taken serious by any governor or WIC responsible.
If there was one place which benefit of the dismantlement of the WIC it was this small North American colony.
In 1650 Adriaan van der Docnkt could convince the State General to grant Neuw Amsterdam several city rights. With this recognizing the status of this city and region and giving it almost the same rights as any other city in the United Provinces.
Adriaan van der Donckt would later be one of the most prominent Mayors of Nieuw Amsterdam.

1651 During the ''Big Meeting'' the united provinces made some constitutional decisions with had large effects of the Confederation in the decades to come.
One of the decisions was that the Army was kept as an united State army and not dissolved in to Provincial army, essential militias, of variuos and most likely questionable quality and size.
The State army would be 20.000 men strong and paid by the States by contribution they could afford, almost the same system as to pay the fleets. The flees how ever remained divided by different admiralties and could only form a war fleet when combined together, which needed permission of all separate Sates.

1652 After a short constitutional turmoil between the Stadholder William II and the Republican minded regents due to the sudden dead of William II a true republican era started.

1652 First Anglo Dutch war.
Mainly a sea war, which happened due to commercial rivalry, plain misunderstanding about plan of Union between Calvinist counties, and tensions due to the beheading of the Grandfather of the Prince of Orange William III, the son of the late William II. The family of Orange Nassau, even striped of power still had a lot of supporters among the dutch population.

After initial great successes of the English, the English made the error of dividing their war fleet and sent a large portion of it to the Mediterainan an atempd to disrupt the dutch trade there,
Admiral Tromp saw his opportunity and engaged successful the remaining English fleet. And after convincing the Sates he was able to destroy the English fleet while at anchor at Chatham in a bold action sailing up the Medway.
In 1654 peace treaty was signed at West Minster, in fact leaving all how it was before the conflict, without resolving the trade conflicts.

1657 The informal head of state the State Pensioner Johan the Wit supported with funds the revolt of the city of Munster against their sovereign the Prince Bishop of Munster and Cologne.
After a bitter siege the city of Munster had to surrender and the Prince Bishop could restore his autority, how ever he did not forget who funded the rebels.

1663 East Frisia, during a conflict between the States of East Frisia and the Count of East Frisia, the Bishop of Munster intervene on the side of the Count. The Dutch republic how ever had troops station in the city of Emden since decade and become a part in the conflict. Between 1663 and 1664 the conflict grow into a full war between the Dutch republic and the Bishop of Munster in all means except in name. After a series of small but decisive battle the Bishop of Muster had to retreat out of East Frisia and the conflict.
In 1664 the peace of Groningen is signed with the Sates of East Frisia as victor. Almost at the same time the States of East Frisia request to be come a member of the United Provinces which is grated immidiatly.

1665 Second Anlo Dutch war erupted after the attack and conquest of Curacao and Nieuw Amsterdam and more than 200 merchant ships by the English previous year.
Especialy the brutal bombardment of Nieuw Amsterdam by English man of war and the rumours of the looting of the by than very prosperous city made a big impact on the population in the Nehtelands.
At the same time the Prince Bishop of Munster and Cologne saw an oportunity to settle an old humiliation and invade the United Provinces in the East.
The State army, responded swift and aggressive. With in two months the army of the Prince Bishop was defeated and had to ask for terms.
The State General demanded territory in exchange for peace, a surprising strong demand. The treaty of Bonn concluded that the United Provinces was granted the territory West and East of the river Eems, connecting the County of Lingen ( Peronel belonging of the Prince of Orange) with the United Provinces. Ineffect splitting the Prince Bishopric of Munster in two parts.

The war with England went almost as smooth as the short land war. Disturbed by the bad performance of the fleet during the first conflict the State General invested considerable in the fleet. This time the fleet was expanded and consisted only out of purpose build war ships and not of chartered merchant ships. Admiral Tromp even made some excersizes with the fleet before the war. During the conflict Admiral tromp how ever was killed.The command was taken over by Admiral De Ruyter who also made an bold raid on the bassis of the English fleet at Chatam and even dared to sent a few light ship up to London were they caused more panic than actual damage.
With the loss of the English fleet and several other catastrophes like a plague epidemic and an devastating fire of London a peace was signed at Breda in 1667.
The German state were considerd as a sphere of influence of the Republic, anti trade laws of the English were dissolved, New York will become Nieuw Amsterdam and the boundaries of Nieuw Holland were rectified in this treaty. further England had to give the profitable sugar colony of Suriname.
