Eighty Years' War

The Eighty Years' War, or Dutch Revolt, was the war of secession between the Netherlands and Spain, as well as subsequent union of Portugal and Spain, that lasted from 1568 to 1648. The war resulted in the Netherlands being recognized as an independent country and as a world power. The region now known as Belgium also became established, as part of the Netherlands.

Peace

On January 30, 1648, the war ended with the Treaty of Münster, which was part of the Peace of Westphalia that also ended the Thirty Years' War.
