The Dutch try to claim it again?What about having a war break out over Belgium?

The talleyrand proposal is awesomely my mind. I'd love for it to happen.Or the Talleyrand Plan is put forward in a negotiation, and then talks break down.
Would talks need to happen in 1830,or could they be happen again due to unrest in the 1840s?Or the Talleyrand Plan is put forward in a negotiation, and then talks break down.
I was thinking the Belgian Revolution was a few years later than it was.If the Talleyrand Plan comes to fruition in 1830, what would the possibility of Francis trying to take control there instead of a full scale invasion attempt?

Also considering having the mainline of the House of Oldenburg continue, though curious as to if it does, does this mean that otl's Christian IX would be considered for the throne of Greece if Otto I is still overthrown?
Hmm would he consider it more stable here though as that was his biggest concernIf we're going down the route of the partition of Belgium, perhaps Leopold accepts the Greek throne instead of the Belgian this time?
Hmm this is true, there's also the fact that Belgium might end up being the cause of another European war if we go with what Wendell suggested and have rhe Talleyrand plan proposed absolute failed after drawn out negotiationsIf he didn't - he's going to remain minor nobility at best, his most notable title in a timeline where he isn't made King of Belgium and rejects the Greek throne is the Dukedom of Saxony.
He was interested in the Greek throne in the real world, so perhaps here his interest outweighs his concern and he accepts? It's either Leopold or Otto - a minor who needed a Regency whereas Leopold didn't.
Debatable.So leopold ruling Greece then? And perhaps Greece being far more stable as a result?
Debatable.
Greece may receive more support from Britain in the long run, but possibly less from other nations as Leopold was still regarded as very much a part of the British establishment since his marriage to Princess Charlotte of Wales, and his being made a Royal Highness, and it was primarily British meddling which secured him the Belgian Throne.
Should we have a Saxe-coburg-Gotha Greece, it will be firmly seen a British proxy state, which may Upset the French and Russians.
I think thats possible. I still think that the Talleyrand plan is a good ideaUnless the Duke of Nemours gets Belgium should the Talleyrand Plan fail in the long run?
