  • (B) Poland

  • The history of Belgium’s relationships with its neighbors and its colonial empire has been marked by turmoil. During the 20th century, Germany attacked and invaded Belgium twice.
  • The first time was during the First World War in 1914 as part of the Schlieffen Plan to outflank the French army. The second time was during the Second World War in 1940.
  • Previously, the empire of Belgium extended to Africa under the rule of King Leopold II. Leopold II turned the Congo into his property and named it the Congo Free State in 1885.
  • The Congo Free State was marked by the most brutal of practices. There was forced labor and the most inhumane of practices, including the severing of hands of the laborers who failed to meet their quota of the collection of the rubber that grew in the Congo.
