When did Flemish National Union end?

The Flemish National Union, or Vlaams Nationaal Verbond (VNV), effectively ceased to exist in 1945 following the end of World War II.

Here's a breakdown of key events:

* 1930s: The VNV gained popularity in Flanders, Belgium, promoting Flemish nationalism and collaborating with the Nazi regime during the war.

* 1944: As Allied forces liberated Belgium, the VNV lost its power base and was deemed a collaborationist organization.

* 1945: The VNV was officially outlawed by the Belgian government, and its leaders were prosecuted for war crimes. Many members were imprisoned or executed.

While the VNV was officially dissolved, its ideology and some of its members influenced the development of Flemish nationalism and political parties in post-war Belgium.
