History [ edit ]
The biggest part of modern territory of Belgium, along with Germany, had been part of the Holy Roman Empire for centuries until the end of the 18th century. The first king of Belgium after Belgium gained its independence in 1830 was Leopold I , who hailed from the aristocratic family of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha . To date, all Belgian kings stem from his lineage.
Belgium was invaded by Germany in the First and Second World Wars . The territory currently comprising the German-speaking community in Belgium was taken from Germany following World War I, as stipulated the Treaty of Versailles as compensation for the Allied countries.
Diaspora [ edit ]
Around 56,000 Belgians currently live in Germany, and around 40,000 Germans living in Belgium in 2021.[3] [4]
