Del Prado SNC048 Trooper, Dutch Carabiniers, 1815
The Netherlands army of 1815 was created from both North and South Netherlands (i.e. Dutch and Belgian) units, numbered in a single sequence and serving side by side within the same brigades and divisions. This issue deals with the evolution of the North Netherlands units in 1813-15.
Until 1568 the Netherlands were ruled by Spain. Between 1568 and 1648 the seven northern provinces fought for their freedom, and finally achieved independence as the republic of the United Provinces, under the constitutional leadership of the House of Orange.
