The memory happens in July 1789, the Brabant Revolution began in October that year, the United States of Belgium existed for one year, from January 1790 to December 1790. Do you think that people would notice this new word for them in such a short time and use it as a demonym? They would say what they were used to, before and after. Belgica was used as the Latin translation of the Netherlands. Do you think that Bellec speaks in Latin at that moment? It does not make sense, it is anachronistic whatever perspective you take. It is a mistake in the script. I wonder what demonyms were used before 1830 but it is not the easiest thing to find on the internet. My guess are various names reffering to Belgian regions.
You can find that the Bastille was a fine prison (I hope this is how it is described in English) in any text or media about the storming. Písač (talk) 15:58, 30 May 2024 (UTC)
