So, before the French revolution, the area that would become Belgium and Luxemburg was an autonomous Hapsburg domain: the Austrian Netherlands. After the French revolution, the region was divided between Prussia and the Netherlands. So, I am curious what would happen if the Austrian Netherlands were restored after the French Revolution?
Much like Hungary, I can see Belgium resisting attempts to centralize the Hapsburg realms, but would the Hapsburgs really try to centralize Belgium with the rest of their domains? Would there be any large effects of having such a highly developed region as part of the Austrian Empire?
What do people think?
