[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 10076695, member: 2844"]Brabant is a complicated name.:rolleyes: Due to historical circumstances beyond Brabant control, Brabant is now split into four provinces and one capital region, in two countries.:arghh: I live in the Dutch province of Brabant, which is also known as North Brabant. The other Brabants are in Belgium. I suspect this button is from Belgian Brabant. The Belgian province that went by the name of Brabant was in existence from 1839 until 1995. In 1995 Belgian Brabant was split into two provinces and one capital region, Brussels. Antwerp, also Brabant, was already a separate province. To many Brabanders Brabant is Brabant, no matter what. I wish we could all get back together again, but that won't happen anytime soon.:([/QUOTE]
