BATAVIAN REPUBLIC
1795–1806

The French invaded the Netherlands and established the Batavian Republic, which was basically under French control. England thought that stunk and declared war.

The French couldn't have cared less and went ahead and drained the Dutch financially to a spectacular degree.

In 1805, Napoleon I changed the name from Batavian Republic to Batavian Commonwealth.

In 1806, Napoleon I declared his brother Louis King of Holland, thus ending the Batavian Republic / Commonwealth.
