	United Kingdom of the Netherlands - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		United Kingdom of the Netherlands (1815 - 1830) (1839) (Dutch: Verenigd Koninkrijk der Nederlanden, French: Royaume-Uni des Pays-Bas) was the unofficial name used to refer to a new unified European state created during the Congress of Vienna in 1815.
		This state, officially called the "Kingdom of the Netherlands", was made up of the former United Provinces (better: Republic of the Seven United Netherlands) to the north, the former Austrian Netherlands to the south, and the former prince-bishopric of Lüttich.
		It lasted until the southern provinces seceded to form Belgium in 1830, though Belgian independence was not formally recognised by the north until 1839, after which the name "Kingdom of the Netherlands" remained to refer to just the northern provinces.
