	YourArt.com >> Encyclopedia >> Dietsland (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		The concept for Dietsland first became significant in the early 20th century and reached its peak before World War II when it was advocated by irredentists in the Netherlands and Flanders who were influenced by the progress of 'Greater Germany' next door.
		But its roots go back to the Union of Utrecht and the Dutch Revolt, in which the Seventeen Provinces (or Low Countries, De Nederlanden) were separated.
		Some (now) Walloon and (now) French parts of the Low Countries chose the side of the Spanish king by the Union of Atrecht, the Dutch-speaking parts declared themselves independent in 1581, but the final frontier was defined by the victories of the Spanish under Alexander Farnese, duke of Parma.
