The formation of the United Provinces, also known as the Dutch Republic, took place in 1648, following the conclusion of the Eighty Years' War. This war was fought between the Dutch provinces, which were seeking independence from the rule of the Spanish Habsburgs, and the Spanish forces.

The formation of the United Provinces marked a significant milestone in the history of the Netherlands and Europe, as it was one of the first modern nation-states and a leading maritime and commercial power in the 17th century. The new state was a federal republic, with each province enjoying a high degree of autonomy, and was governed by a States General and a Stadtholder, who held executive power.

The formation of the United Provinces marked the beginning of the Dutch Golden Age and had a lasting impact on the country and the world, serving as a model for future republics and inspiring political and social movements in Europe and beyond.
