Talk:French and British interregnum in the Dutch East Indies

Peculiar take on Dutch history
This article has a very peculiar take on Dutch history. In particular considering the Kingdom of Holland as "essentially' French (i.e. part of the First French Empire) precedes the real events by four years. So to speak of a "French" interregnum from 1806 to 1811 (when Java was conquered by the East India Company with help of the Royal Navy) is contrary to the historiographical consensus in e.g the Wikipedia articles Batavian Republic and Kingdom of Holland. Formally the "French interregnum" lasted from 1810 (when the Kingdom of Holland was annexed to the French Empire) to 1811. This should at least be corrected. (I see now that the same nonsensical viewpoint is followed in List of governors of the Dutch East Indies; it should be changed there also). As a minor point, Roman Catholics were emancipated in the Batavian Republic, and hence its overseas possessions, from 1795; it was one of the first civil rights reforms after the Batavian revolution. So dating it from 1800 is also incorrect. Ereunetes (talk) 20:49, 24 May 2023 (UTC)
