dutch rebellions purpose

[alvaro]

maybe anyone else has already send this question but I didn't see it myself.
is the dutch rebelllion crush-able?
After 10 years making martyrs of the free dutch nation, and with troops and resources to make some more for other 10 years I finally decided to let them take some provinces just to have fun in any other place. In case you have a game in which Holland is set up to be a nation (I guess is random), have you the possibility to stop it?
or do you have just to accept it?

It can be done but it's not worth it IMO.

When I owned all of northern germany about 1650(also the soon to be holland)holland revolted,and I let them loose.But after some 20 years I hunted down all their colonies and trade posts(many) and military annexed holland.After that I havent had any trouble with them

thanks for your answers, guys.
BiB,
Yeah, now that's my opinion too. After ten years and thousands of men and money wasted I realized that it wasn't profitable for the provinces I was going to be loosing. Also the permanent menace of having revolts when at war with anyone it's really a pain in the ass. It's was just curiosity.
kjetikLr,
I planned that as well when I decided to let them have some provinces (of my choice, of course) but after all, I like those dutch felas anyway, I allied with them and now they are disturbing the portuguese in the far east and the english in north america so it has been for good.

If I was playing Spain, and trying to be consistent with the times (i.e. role playing), then I would make maximum effort to suppress the rebellion, regardless of cost.

Of xure, roleplaying is quite fun I used Austria though and did it in the HRE.
