Belgium in the long nineteenth century edit

Belgian Revolution

* ... that during the long nineteenth century, Belgium was ruled by Austria, rebels, France, and the Netherlands before gaining independence and itself ruling the Congo (King Leopold II pictured)?

  • Date, length and hook all OK. I'm not too sure the pics adequately suit the hook but I'll let the promoter decide. QPQ done. Good to go. The C of E God Save the Queen! (talk) 16:58, 19 April 2014 (UTC)
    How is ALT 2? I think the caption and picture are probably more suitable. In retrospect, picturing Leopold II also doesn't make any sense, so I've struck that one out. Oreo Priest talk 17:52, 19 April 2014 (UTC)
