The Council of Flanders (Dutch: Raad van Vlaanderen, or RVV) was formed by members of the "activist" or "maximalist" faction of the Flemish Movement in German-occupied Belgium on 4 February 1917 with tacit German support. Its founders, who included and August Borms, wanted to realize the independence of Flanders from Belgium using German support provided as part of the Flamenpolitik. The Council originally included 46 members, but eventually expanded to include 93. Despite hopes that the council would be allowed full legislative powers, it never became more than a consultative body. It also suffered from internal factionalism and infighting.

De oprichting gebeurde vanuit kringen rond Jong-Vlaanderen, terwijl de Duitse bezetter het initiatief meteen inschakelde in zijn Flamenpolitik, zonder nochtans veel autonomie aan het initiatief te gunnen.

Le 22 décembre 1917, le Conseil proclame l'autonomie et l'indépendance de la Flandre. En novembre 1917, cependant, la nomination du chancelier allemand Georg von Hertling, peu sensible aux velléités indépendantistes de la Flandre, réduisit fortement son influence. La fin de la guerre en novembre 1918, mettra un terme à son existence et verra nombre de ses membres arrêtés et jugés comme collaborateurs. (fr)
- The Council of Flanders (Dutch: Raad van Vlaanderen, or RVV) was formed by members of the "activist" or "maximalist" faction of the Flemish Movement in German-occupied Belgium on 4 February 1917 with tacit German support. Its founders, who included and August Borms, wanted to realize the independence of Flanders from Belgium using German support provided as part of the Flamenpolitik. The Council originally included 46 members, but eventually expanded to include 93. Despite hopes that the council would be allowed full legislative powers, it never became more than a consultative body. It also suffered from internal factionalism and infighting. Its members were broadly supported by the Germans but were condemned by other flamingants and the Catholic Church. The Germans subsequently made Flanders and Wallonia separate administrative regions in June 1917. However, the appointment of Georg von Hertling as German Chancellor in November 1917 who opposed the Flamenpolitik reduced support for the RVV among the German administration. On 22 December 1917, without prior consultation with the occupation authorities, the RVV declared Flanders to be independent and dissolved itself to prepare for elections for a new Flemish government. The German authorities viewed the declaration ambivalently and in January 1918 rejected a draft Flemish constitution presented by the RVV. 50,000 people registered to vote in the coming elections but there were clashes with opponents in Mechelen, Antwerp and Tienen. The Belgian Court of Appeal issued warrants for the arrest of Tack and Borms as the two leading members of the RVV but the Germans freed them and instead deported the judges responsible. In protest, judges at the Court of Cassation, the country's supreme court, refused to try cases and other judges also went on strike. Faced with mounting opposition, the Germans stopped the planned elections in March 1918. The German surrender in November 1918 led to the end of the council as King Albert I with the Belgian Army and government regained control. In the aftermath of the war, many of the members of the RVV were arrested and imprisoned as collaborators. (en)
