In 1895, Nationalists from both Belgian Flanders and the Netherlands created the Greater Netherlandic General Dutch Union or 'Algemeen-Nederlands Verbond', often shortened to ANV which sought to stimulate co-operation of the Flemish region and the Netherlands. 'Waar Maas en Schelde vloeien', also known as 'Het Lied der Vlamingen' is a popular Greater Netherlandic song written around this time by Peter Benoit and Emmaniel Hiel. In Belgium, some Dutch-speaking citizens opposed the privileged position of French-speaking bourgeoisie, and the corresponding subordination of the Dutch-speaking population in government and in public life which led to the formation of a movement fighting for the rights of the Flemish population in Belgium (see Flemish Movement), in which some called for the union of Flanders and the Netherlands. The Greater Netherlandic movement emerged at the end of the 19th century. The movement again became relevant in the 1930's and 40's due to Fascist Verdinaso and in the 21st century through the Benelux ideal and moderates who want to centralize this union. Proposals to unite Belgium and the Netherlands were done in 1789 and in the 1860's and they briefly united as the United Kingdom of the Netherlands in 1815. 'Pan-Netherlands' ( Dutch: Heel-Nederland) is another term that was used for the theoretical Greater Netherlands state, but this term is now used mainly for the movement that aims to unite all of the Low Countries ( Benelux) as a single multilingual entity, also including Wallonia, Luxembourg. Today the flag is generally associated with the far-right in the Netherlands. The flag was also used by the Dutch Republic and United Kingdom of the Netherlands. During this rebellion the Dutch-speaking regions of the Low Countries, encompassing modern day Flanders and the Netherlands, banded together under the Union Of Utrecht, the precursor to the modern Dutch state. The Prince's Flag is sometimes used by both Orangist and Greater Netherlandic groups, because it was flown by supporters of William I of Orange during the Eighty Years' War, who was the leader of the revolt of the Low Countries against the Spanish. While many Orangists are Greater Netherlandists, the Orangists mainly focus on restoring Orange-Nassau's control over the South often for legitimist reasons. Greater Netherlandism is often confused with the Orangist movement in Belgium which fought for the reunification of the United Kingdom of the Netherlands after Belgian Independence. Dutch Movement ( Dietse Beweging) is another term often used for the movement, while in literature it is often called the Greater Netherlands Thought ( Grootnederlandse Gedachte). The ideology is often labeled as Greater Netherlandism ( Groot-Nederlandisme). This label was popular until the Second World War, but its associations with collaboration (especially in Flanders), ment that modern supporters generally avoid using it. The potential country is also known as Dutchland ( Dietsland), which incorporates the word Diets вЂ“ an archaic term for (Middle) Dutch.
