This episode covers the United Kingdom of the Netherlands from its founding in 1814 all the way until its end in 1830 after the Belgian Revolution. It only had one king, William I (although his dad was William V because titles) and he really did try to unite the north and the south. He was a tad authoritarian though and his ignoring the south's issues led to its declaration of independence as the Kingdom of Belgium. Belgium's place between France and Prussia saw Britain guarantee its independence which led to its declaration of war against Germany in 1914.
