- Belgium's modern shape can be traced back at least as far as the Spanish Netherlands during the Eighty Years' War, which is when the Dutch Republic in the north split from the Southern Netherlands from which Belgium and Luxembourg developed.
- The area briefly came under Bourbon control during the War of the Spanish Succession.
