Batavian Republic

Batavian Republic was a state in France and the Low Countries (Europe) that lasted from 1795 to 1806 CE, about 11 years. Its people spoke Germanic languages (Gothic, Frankish, English, German, Dutch, Norse).

A French sister republic set up after French armies and Dutch Patriots ended the old republic. Napoleon turned it into the Kingdom of Holland in 1806 and annexed it in 1810.
