The Treaty of Maastricht, signed in 1843 by Belgium and the Netherlands four years after the Treaty of London established Belgian independence,[1] finally settled the border between the two countries.
Border enclaves
[edit]Inability to decide a clear line of demarcation in Baarle-Hertog resulted in the division of the disputed territory into 5732 separate parcels of land.[2] They formed part of a very complicated frontier, which sometimes passes through houses and has tiny enclaves[3] because of land ownership dating back to the 12th century.[4] A few of the Belgian enclaves within Dutch territory even have Dutch counter-enclaves within them.[5]
Part of the left bank of the Meuse, near Maastricht, was returned to the Netherlands.[6]
