==History== | |||
The province of South Holland as it is today has its origins in the period of French rule from 1795 to 1813. | |||
After the defeat of the French in 1813, this organisation remained unchanged for a year or so. When the 1814 Constitution was introduced, most borders were restored to their situation before the French period. The north and south of Holland were reunited as the province of Holland but in 1840, it was decided to once again split Holland into North and South Holland. This was because the province was thought too dominant in area, population and wealth.<br> | |||
