http://youtu.be/eE_IUPInEuc(not all correct, as:
- the area now called 'the Netherlands' never was called the united states of belgium (the southern Netherlands, now roughly Belgium, were though)
- Nederlands spreken de Nederlanders in Nederland
- before there were a Noord- and Zuid-Holland, there actually was a Holland, which covered the current Noord- and Zuid-Holland, and parts of Utrecht and Noord-Brabant)
And to make stuff more confusing there also was a distinction between the Northern and Southern Netherlands, where the first now roughly is the current Netherlands and the last roughly current Belgium. The last were at times in history also known as the Spanish Netherlands and the Austrian Netherlands, to add to the drama.
