The course of the Dutch Revolt and War for Independence (1579-1648) resulted in the Netherlands being split in the Northern
Netherlands (Dutch Republic) and the Southern or Spanish Netherlands.
From 1667 onward, the Spanish Netherlands became one of the prime targets of French expansionism; with
Spain no longer being capable of defending its territories, the European powers
created alliances to counter the French. In 1713, Spain ceded the
Spanish Netherlands to Austria, the
Spanish Netherlands thus becoming the Austrian Netherlands. While the Austrian Netherlands were one of the wealthier parts of the possessions of the Austrian Habsburgs, they were, from Viennese perspective, remotely located and difficult to defend. The Austrian administration was more willing to implement political reforms than her Spanish predecessors. Under Empress Maria Theresia (1740-1780) a number of reforms were introduced. In the Austrian Netherlands, the spirit of Enlightenment spread. Maria Theresia's son and successor Joseph II. (1780-1790), who regarded himself an enlightened monarch, impatiently decreed numerous reforms which threatened the degree of autonomy the territories summarily referred to as the Austrian Netherlands hitherto maintained (i.e. the County of Flanders, the Duchy of Brabant, the County of Namur, the County of Hainaut, the Duchy of Limburg, Austrian Gelre, the Duchy of Luxemburg) and the Tournaisis, and ultimately caused the Brabant Revolution of 1789. In 1790 an Austrian military expedition restored Austrian rule; from 1792 to 1794 the Austrian Netherlands were battleground, contested by the French and Austrian armies (War of the First Coalition); Austria ceded the Austrian Netherlands to France in 1797. At the Vienna Congress, the territory of the former Austrian Netherlands was allocated to the new Kingdom of the United Netherlands. It largely became referred to as Belgium; the latter, in 1830/1839, seceded from the Kingdom of the United Netherlands.
