Overijssel was formerly known as Oversticht and also included most of the modern-day province of Drenthe. It was at first organised into its own département, and then it was merged with Drenthe in 1798 to form Ouden IJssel, which was renamed Overijssel in 1801. | |||
The French annexed the Batavian Republic in 1810, and Overijssel was organised into the new French département of Bouches-de-l'Yssel. After the defeat of Napoleon in 1814, the kingdom of the Netherlands and the former province of Overijssel were recreated.<br> | |||
Overijssel was occupied by Nazi Germany during World War II from May 1940 until its liberation in April 1945.<br><br> | |||
