Maps of the Kingdom of Holland (Dutch: Koninkrijk Holland), a satellite state of the French First Empire from 1806 until 1810, when the French First Empire annexed it. The Kingdom of Holland replaced the earlier Batavian Republic (1795–1806), and was ruled by Louis Napoleon Bonaparte, brother of French Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte I. East Frisia was part of the Kingdom of Holland from 1807 to 1810, the only time in history this region was ever dynastically and territorially connected to the rest of the (Northern) Netherlands. It is also the only time in history when the name 'Holland' officially applied to the entire country instead of only its western coastal province(s), or merely as a pars pro toto for the entire country. On the other hand, the former Generaliteitslanden of Staats-Vlaanderen (roughly corresponding to modern Zeeuws-Vlaanderen), Staats-Overmaas and Staats-Opper-Gelre (comprising parts of the modern province of Limburg) had been annexed by France in 1795, and were also excluded from the Kingdom of Holland.
