How is this a "buffer zone" between Germany and France? They share a long land border anyway

How is this a "buffer zone" between Germany and France? They share a long land border anyway

When has it ever been claimed to be one? It's only independent because the Walloons and Flemish didn't get enough representation in the Netherlands anyway

it was created and guaranteed by bongistan to keep france in check, theres a french part of belgium ya know

Belgium has not talents as a buffer state.

Cut down the power of the Netherlands and the French, which was good for Britain, because 1: Fuck those orange assholes, being over there, having good financial policy
and 2: Fuck, they might get eaten by france, it'd be r8 nice if we could ensure they don't get it by inciting a rebellion and then ensuring the independence of a new state.

Kill yourself, subhuman.

Because it takes time for the German army to walk through

Wat

1. Talleyrand Plan for the Low Countries would have had the best borders.
2. It's an independent nation blocking the North West of Germany and the North of France from any of the aggressors.

It isn't big enough.

belgium stopped the germans in WW1 though

It isn't, you fell for the non-country memes
The Eternal Belgian is pulling strings around the world under the non-country disguise, you think Brussels being the EU capital is a coincidence?

And when you spot their shenanigans, they just laugh at you "we're not even a country, how could we be behind everything?"

is belgium the ACTUAL (((((((jooo's)))))))?

middle francia is best kingdom

Even this isn't enough, it must include Savoie and Suisses

That is burgundy. Middle francia stretched from frisia to rome

With all these lands.

burgundy pretty much almost became middle francia if it wasn't for the autism of the holy roman emperor
