What if the 1830 Belgian Revolution was put down by the army of the United Kingdom of the Netherlands, with or without the assistance of another Great Power? Assume we still have the Opera Riots in Brussels, followed by the takeover of that city by nationalist rebels in 1830.
Would non-intervention by the Great Powers be enough for the Dutch to maintain their control of the southern Netherlands? Or would it take the active intervention of a status-quo power for the Belgians to be put down?
Looking further ahead, how might a United Netherlands fare in the 19th Century? With a greater population, coal deposits and territory, could the 19th century be another "Golden Age" for the United Netherlands?
