Start 1861: I just inherited the Dutch throne

Chapter 764 Pan-Slavic Movement
On August 1879, 8, all countries in the world obtained through their own channels the seven-day process of Bismarck convening a summit of the vassal states under the German Empire in Berlin. Under the pressure of Berlin, these vassal states had to legislate in parliament to prevent their citizens from When I moved to the Netherlands, what was happening in the Tsarist Empire in the northeast surprised everyone.

On August 1879, 8, in St. Petersburg and various parts of Moscow, the Pan-Slavic Movement, composed of tens of millions of people, declared that under the leadership of Tsar Alexander II.
It turns out that in the Tsarist Russian Empire, the Pan-Slavic movement that had always existed had racial overtones.

It was often assumed that Slavic ethnic affinities would breed political unity.

As early as the movement began in the first half of the year, the Pan-Slavic movement provoked little reaction among Catholics in Poland and Croatia.

Both Poles and Croats once carried out the Pan-Slavic movement of the Tsarist Russians. Nowadays, those who oppose the Pan-Slavic movement use scientific theories to prove that the Tsarist Russians are actually Slavicized Finns.

As it intensified, by this month, the Pan-Slavic movement was the most popular among Serbs, Czechs, and Bulgarians. They all regarded the Tsarist Russian Empire as the savior of liberation. Tsarist Russian imperial nationalism and the Pan-Slavic movement The blend of doctrine and justice shows a unique fanaticism of claiming to be a savior.

The famous Tsarist Russian writer Dosto wrote an optimistic note about this and published it in the newspaper "Voice of Tsarist Russia":

"Our great people were raised like livestock. After they fell to the ground, they suffered from pain. This kind of pain is unbearable by any other nation, but it only makes them stronger and more united in the misfortune. As the leader of the Slavic nation, the Tsarist Russian Empire will, together with the Slavic nation, send the strongest voice ever to the world. What they express will be the friendship oath of mankind. According to my latest analysis, the national ideology of Tsarist Russia is entirely about establishing a universal human society. friendship"

Dosto's appeal is still huge. With the publication of his so-called emotional notes, a new round of political events has been triggered whether in Ukraine, Finland, the Czech Republic, or Bulgaria, Serbia, etc. where Tsarist Russia was promoting the establishment of a kingdom. The climax of the Pan-Slavic movement.

As the Pan-Slavic movement develops, big countries such as Berlin, London, Vienna, Paris, and Constantinople are very wary of it. Second-tier middle-level countries such as Sweden and Italy can't help but show nervousness. .

Especially in Stockholm, Sweden, Sweden lost a war with Tsarist Russia in 1809. After losing to Finland, Sweden became very wary of the Tsarist Russian Empire. As 70 years have passed, Finland has been pan-Slavicized by Tsarist Russia.

It can be seen that Tsarist Russia’s assimilation strength is still very strong. If Finland can do it, then Sweden is not impossible.

Therefore, Oscar II (Karl XV did not die in 1872, but lived for 1876 more years before passing away in 4, and his younger brother Oscar succeeded to the throne) has sent 30 Swedish troops to the border between Sweden and the Russian Empire. Arm.

It is indeed one of the most powerful armies in Europe. Sweden's practice of using all people as soldiers has been used for hundreds of years, and it is still so easy to use.

Perhaps influenced by the Pan-Slavic movement promoted by the Tsarist Empire, in particular Dosto gained great popularity in the Tsarist Russian Empire and became a national hero, and various countries began to fully promote national themes.

Poets from all over the world strive to win the honor of national poet or "poet laureate".

Novelists also began to prefer writing historical or pseudo-historical romances about national heroes and national customs.Painters and sculptors alike pursued Romanticism's desire for national themes, and France's leading Romantic figure, Vitoco Hugo, stood out. He also joined in elaborating on France's national greatness, and even in Paris he called for the secession of the south. The Third French Republic should negotiate with the Second French Empire in the north, and should not become a national sinner of the great France.

Perhaps it was his appeal that led to small countries. In the south, voices of negotiation began to appear, but it did not mean surrender to the north, but that both sides had equal status, and that both sides should be known as France as a whole. At the same time, the two sides should not fight within themselves, but It should be communicated unanimously to the outside world.

This craze in France has made other countries wary.After all, a divided France reassures surrounding countries. If North and South France are integrated again, both the powerful Britain across the English Channel and the German Empire in the north will feel the pressure. Even the influence of Italy and Spain will be once again lost to the influence of France. As a result, any foreign policy decisions made in the future will have to depend on the face of France, which they do not want to see.

However, Italy and Spain did not dare to intervene too much, after all, they were afraid of settling scores later.

The United Kingdom is currently fighting with the Netherlands. The French Second Empire ruled by Napoleon III in the north and the United Kingdom are allies in the Far East and Southeast Asia Peninsula, so the United Kingdom will not intervene.

Even in order to contain the rapid development of the German Empire in Europe, and to contain the Tsarist Russian Empire that promoted the Slavic movement, a complete France was actually a good result for Britain.

As a result, London even went in the opposite direction and began to promote negotiations between the north and south of France. In order to achieve this goal, he even roped in the north and south of France to hold a negotiation meeting in London. Although the outcome is not yet known, these all aroused dissatisfaction in Berlin.

And all this reached the ears of William IV in the Australian continent in the Far East.

"The wave of nation-states has begun to come. The development of future wars will involve waging wars or resisting wars with the nation as a whole. The Faslav movement in Tsarist Russia, the Germanization of Berlin, and the Saxonization of Britain in the future are all The beginning of a future war in Europe"

William IV understood that the form of future wars was beginning to change, and the Netherlands must assimilate immigrants as quickly as possible.Otherwise, as this national upsurge begins to expand, the 850 million white European immigrants in the Netherlands may pose a huge crisis to the Netherlands.After all, the Dutch white population is only 1550 million, accounting for only about 64.6%, or about two-thirds.

If these white immigrants, who account for one-third of the population, cause trouble in the future, it will be a huge disaster for the Netherlands, whether it is economic, political, or military.

Therefore, we must assimilate as much as possible.

Fortunately, however, starting in 1864, he began to carry out patriotic education in the Dutch education system.

Even William IV is learning from the practices of the United States in his previous life and is building a Dutch version of the "American Dream" in all aspects. When the "Dutch Dream" succeeds, a brand new Dutch nation will be formed. By then, William IV can rest assured to deal with the future battle.
