Best Answer

In 1581. The seventeen provinces of the Netherlands were a possession of Spain. This included modern-day Belgium, Luxembourg, parts of France and Germany and today's Holland, or the Netherlands. The seven northern provinces were Protestant and joined in the 1581 Act. By that time the Eighty Years War for the Netherlands Independence from Spain had already been going on for thirteen years. The war did not end until 1648, after which the seven northern provinces were recognized as independent.
