Revolutionary Committee of the Batavian Republic

Revolutionary Committee of the Batavian Republic

The Revolutionary Committee of the Batavian Republic was formed on 17 January 1795, when revolution broke out in The Netherlands against the regime of prince William V of Orange. The Dutch army was defeated by the French, and the French were seen as liberators. William V fled to Great Britain. Many refugees could return home. They had to flee out of the Netherlands after the Prussian invasion on behalf of prince William V in 1787. The presidents of the Revolutionary Committee acted as heads of state of the Netherlands (only recognized by France).
