What reading level is Belgium book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The people rose against their Prince-Bishop, and claimed the same rights as the French revolu- tionists. Their brief success was ended by Leopold's army, which restored the Prince- Bishop. But the dominance of Austria in Belgium was now drawing to its close. In 1792 war broke out between the Habsburgs and the young French Republic. Belgium was twice invaded, and in the autumn the French under Dumouriez won the battle of Jemmappes (November 6). As the barrier fortresses had been dismantled, this... victory gave the French the country. They were first welcomed as liberators ; but their excesses (they set up the guillotine at Brussels and started wholesale confiscations) soon alienated the Belgians. The next year the Austrians reappeared, defeated the French at Neerwinden, and won everything back. In 1794 the French invaded Belgium again, and the Austrians decided in the interests of their strategy as a HISTORIC SUBJECTION 115 whole to evacuate it. They were defeated at Fleurus, and the French reconquered both Belgium and Lie*ge.
