Belgium?

I've always been interested in the smaller empires like The Netherlands, Belgiums and Denmarks but I was wondering if anyone could point out any good Belgium timelines?

PS; Denmark and Netherland timelines would be cool too.:)

The whole Belgian "empire" OTL really just existed because Britain and France had to compromise near the Congo, so Belgium was granted the disputed territory. Belgium did not have the capability to pursue a colonial empire of its own. Just so you know - it's unlikely you'll find a decent timeline involving a Belgian empire and if there is, it's with a much earlier POD than you might want.

Is there a possibility of Belgium just not existing, Walonia becoming French and the rest going to the Netherlands

Google "Talleyrand partition plan". It's close enough, and it was seriously considered.
 
I know Talleyrand proposed it as a way of expanding French influence on the cheap but did the other Powers really consider it seriously?
