William I, Prince (1813-1815), King (1815-1840) (Dejima Factory (Netherlands)) : All Data

William I was a Prince and later King of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, reigning from 1813 to 1840. During his tenure, he faced significant conflicts, including the Napoleonic Wars (1803-1815) and the Belgian Revolution (1830-1839). The Napoleonic Wars, which occurred within the calculated timespan of his rule, saw the Netherlands being occupied by French forces and later becoming a part of the French Empire. The Belgian Revolution, which also fell within his reign, resulted in the secession of Belgium from the Kingdom of the Netherlands and the establishment of an independent Belgian state. Despite these challenges, William I played a crucial role in shaping the early years of the Kingdom of the Netherlands.
