In 1830 Belgium seceded and formed a separate
kingdom. The Netherlands remained neutral in
World War I but suffered a brutal invasion and
occupation by Germany in World War II. A modern,
industrialized nation, the Netherlands is also a
large exporter of agricultural products. The

EC, and participated in the introduction of the
Economic and Monetary Union (EMU) in 1999. |
