After the defeat of the French in 1814, a new United Kingdom of the Netherlands was created, which eventually split one more time during the Belgian Revolution of 1830–1839, giving three modern nations, Belgium, the Netherlands, and Luxembourg. During this period of systematic exploitation, about 800,000 Belgians fled the Southern Netherlands.[30] The French occupation in Belgium led to further suppression of the Dutch language across the country, including its abolition as an administrative language.	./cache/en-wikipedia-org-8864.html	./txt/en-wikipedia-org-8864.txt
