Relating to the Netherlands
- In strict usage, Holland is the name of a former province of the Netherlands, now split into Noord-Holland and Zuid-Holland. In English (but also in Dutch and German), "Holland" is informally used as a name for the whole of the Netherlands. This informal use was reinforced by the Dutch Tourist Board (VVV) who previously referred to the Netherlands as Holland in its English language literature and on their main website, Holland.com; they have now changed this.
Historically it can refer to:
- The County of Holland, a county in the Holy Roman Empire factually until 1581, formally until 1795
- The Dutch Republic or Republic of the Seven United Provinces, an independent aristocratic Republic from 1579/1581 until 1795, frequently called simply "Holland" in literature
- The Kingdom of Holland, a French vassal state covering roughly the area of the Netherlands during the Napoleonic era (1806-1810)
