Explanation: In WW1, Imperial Germany invaded Belgium in order to move its troops to attack France.

In WW2, Nazi Germany invaded Belgium in order to move its troops to attack France.

In WW3-oops! Sorry, no spoilers, I forgot!

France: We don't need any fortifications on this border. Belgium will not attack us.

Amusingly, thats exactly what Dutch people mostly use Belgium for. A very bumpy, annoying way to get to France.

And that set the wheels in motion to create me. After their town was leveled by the Germans in ww2 my grandparents came to Canada where my mom met my dad.

When Germany goes right, they go right - through Belgium

the french will look at this and say, this is our front door.

'Belgium' comes from the latin 'bellum'.
