They used much of their own money to try to save the EU but when it was officially dissolved January 1, 2025 they lost everything. Many Dutch citizens were very angry with their government and rebellions started all over the country. Belgium also tried to save the Union with the same scenario, but it was even worse because they already had a bad economy. In Belgium and The Netherlands people lost the faith in their democratic political system which lead to more popularity of the royals. A young politician, Saviël, saw this and began with forming a rebellion to overthrow the democratic government. In the late spring of 2027 his little army was big enough to start a rebellion and they gathered in the Dutch town Doorn. They started a march towards the capital city of Amsterdam, the police couldn't stop them and the army was mobilised way to late, and many soldiers even agreed with Saviël. A week after the beginning of the "Loyal March" Saviël's rebellion marched into the capital city, which lead to the surrender of the provinces Noord-Holland and Utrecht. One day later Flevoland also signed terms of surrender. Saviël named his growing resistance the Monarchists. The Monarchists started with invading the province of Gelderland, The Netherlands started with an offensive near the Grebbenberg but it lead to a huge victory for the Monarchists. After this victory king Willem-Alexander decided to join the side of the Monarchists and told he was willing to sign terms of unconditional surrender. The parliament immediately proclaimed the republic and forced the king to abdicate. This lead to the point that more than half of the Dutch army deserted or joined the side of the monarchists. In the following weeks the provinces Overijssel, Drenthe, and Groningen surrendered. Although the Monarchists had huge advantage in The Netherlands, Europe supported the Republic of the Netherlands. To stop this Saviël ordered the growing monarchistic organisations in Luxembourg to commit a coup d'état. The coup was a success which lead to a monarchistic Luxembourg. With Limburg surrenders to the Monarchists they attacked Belgium from Luxembourg and Limburg. Belgium had almost no soldiers left to fight and Saviël ordered the Monarchists to attack Brussels immediately. In a three days fight Belgium surrendered. With the loss of Belgium The Netherlands became isolated and vulnerable. Saviël decided to attack The Hague immediately, now the remaining Benelux was so vulnerable. With a final march and an army three times as big as the republic's The Hague was invaded seven days later. Zuid-Holland, Brabant and Frisia surrendered with this loss. In Zealand some volunteer French republican troops kept fighting for a few more days but were crushed and May 31, 2027 the Treaty of Doorn was signed which lead to the unification of The Netherlands, Belgium and Luxembourg and the proclamation of the Dutch Empire. The Empire was the jure constitutional but the parliament elections were not there yet and the Dutch crown was still unclaimed but guarded by Saviël.
