Chapter 88: Time of Industrial Development

Queen Wilhelmina's full name is Wilhelmina Helena Pauline Maria. She became the Queen of the Netherlands in 1890 and continues to reign until today.

However, Queen Wilhelmina's actual coronation took place on September 6, 1898, and she held real power for less than 3 years.

The Netherlands had already established a complete constitutional monarchy and parliamentary system, with the Dutch monarch having very limited powers, often serving as a symbolic figurehead.

Historically, Queen Wilhelmina reigned over the Netherlands for a remarkable 50 years, making her the longest-serving monarch among all Dutch kings and queens.

During her reign, Queen Wilhelmina greatly respected the constitutional monarchy and parliamentary system of the Netherlands, and she made efforts to balance the opposing factions of the counter-revolutionary party, liberal party, and socialist party.
