Comments by "Brand131" (@Brand131) on "Why is Belgium a country? - History of Belgium in 11 Minutes" video.
6:28 I think you're really selling the 10 days campaign short. It was a very successful offense. Its goal was to get a better bargaining position, yet Belgians were so unprepared that their defense folded and total victory for the Dutch troops seemed imminent. It is only because France sent in their own army to support the Belgian government that this didn't happen. The result of the campaign was that half of the region of Limburg is still part of the Netherlands.

@ericyeo26 I'd rather see the whole of Belgium and the Netherlands reunified, maybe with the Walloon region as a separate autonomous entity. I doubt that will ever happen, though.
