    Belgium Introduction - 2004

    https://immigration-usa.com/wfb2004/belgium/belgium_introduction.html
    SOURCE: 2004 CIA WORLD FACTBOOK

      Background:
      Belgium became independent from the Netherlands in 1830 and was occupied by Germany during World Wars I and II. It has prospered in the past half century as a modern, technologically advanced European state and member of NATO and the EU. Tensions between the Dutch-speaking Flemings of the north and the French-speaking Walloons of the south have led in recent years to constitutional amendments granting these regions formal recognition and autonomy.
