What reading level is A History of Belgium From the Roman Invasion to the Present Day book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The University of Louvain, having rebelled against the new regula- tions, was closed. Riots broke out in Louvain, M alines and Antwerp which were sternly repressed. The States of Hainault, having refused subsidies, were dissolved. When the States of Brabant adopted a similar attitude, the emperor had guns trained on the Grand' Place of Brussels and threatened " to turn the capital into a desert where grass would grow in the streets. " The autocrat was now showing under the dogmatist. Exasperate...d by resistance, Joseph II asked from the States of Brabant a perpetual subsidy, de- clared his intention of revising the Joyous Entry, which he had sworn to maintain, and of taking up his plans of judiciary reorganization. The States, having refused their support, were dis- solved and the Joyous Entry annulled.
It so happened that public opinion was stirred most acutely in the provinces at the time of the taking of the Bastille by the people of Paris (July 1789). This great symbolic event was bound to react on the Belgian crisis.
