Could Limburg/Maastricht have gone with Belgium during the Belgian revolution rather than staying with Netherlands?
What would be the long-term impact?
Consider a free, flourishing butterfly and knock-ons mode, of a less Walloony, Belgium with an additional Dutch/Flemish area of Limburg with the city of Maastricht.
Also consider the same idea in a heavy butterfly-net mode for any effects it might have on WWI's 1914 campaign as we know it.
Did the Limburgers have too little in common with the Flemings to unite with them politically, even if they could have been roused to revolt against the Dutch King? If so, could Limburg have become an independent principality, like little Luxemburg?
