IT'S ALIVE AGAIN
The Belgium war of 1919. ver 2.0
Part one
The death of King Albert I. of Belgium, during World War one. was shattering to the Kingdom of Belgium, because his son Leopold was too young for succession to the throne.
So the Belgium government took the responsibly, until Leopold reach the age of 21 in 1921.
This was the starting point for the 1919 war, the main reason was the traumata of belgium people who question: who is guilty for this ? why had our King to die ?
National Extremist in Flanders and Walloon found them fast:
next to former German Empire, it was also Luxembourg and Netherlands fault !
Because the Belgium government suspect, that Netherlands was not Neutral during the World War one and let German supply and troops movement true there land.
the Duchy Luxembourg, because there immediate surrender instead to fight against them.
But in Reality was a other reason:
The Belgium National Extremist wanted the Original boundary Belgium had in 1830, but lost territory in 1839 peace agreement
that include the duchy of Luxembourg and parts of the Netherlands province of Limburg.
Already in 1854 prince Leopold II had made Plans for invasion of Netherlands, to get this lost territory back. but abandon his plans.
The 65 year old Plan resurface and was modified in Honor to Kings Leopold II. and Albert I. by the Government
the modification include occupation of dutch Zeews Vlaander to provide harbor of Antwerp free access into north sea.
after treaty of Versailles, were Belgium territory claims was refused by US President Woodrow Wilson
the Plan was modified again for occupation of more German territory, because instead getting German territory as exchange for World War one, Belgium Government got only some Prussian Military railway under there control.
Also needed the Government this, to suppress upward trend of Separation or Republicans force in Belgium.
The build up of the Invasion force had problems, because allot Soldiers were most tired after 5 year war and refused to stay in the Army.
other who had no chance to join the Army during German invasion of Belgium Joint the Belgium Invasion force, mostly member of the belgium resistance.
who also were national extremist, like the war Veterans who volunteer for this.
To arm them was easy, the Belgium collected the Equipment left behind by Entente and German Empire forces on Belgium territory...
