 The Kingdom of Belgium (in Dutch: Koninkrijk België; in German: Königreich Belgien) is a country of Western Europe having a common border with the Netherlands, Germany, France and Luxembourg. It is bordered in the North-West by the North Sea.
It is stretched on a distance of 318 kilometers between the Breakdown and Arlon. Belgium is member of the Benelux countries, of the European Union, of which it is one of the six countries founders and NATO.
Meet cultures Germanic and Latin, the country is divided culturally and linguistically. The two principal languages are Dutch, spoken by approximately 62% about the population (6,4 million speakers) in north in Flemish Area; and French, spoken by approximately 38% about the population (4,1 million speakers) in the south in Walloon Area but also in Area of Brussels (wedged in Flanders) where it is the language very definitely majority.
The Brussels capital, therefore especially inhabited by French-speaking people, has a bilingual statute. A German-speaking minority is also present in the East of the country: German is spoken per less than 1% about the Belgian population.
This linguistic diversity often causes political conflicts, which generated a complex system of governorship. In Antiquity, the Belgian people were composed of Gallo-Roman and Celtic tribes, that Jules César called Belgae. Gaule Belgium then occupied a vast territory limited by the Rhine to north and the east and concerning almost to the Seine to the south, thus including part of the Netherlands, Germany and France current.
At the end of the Middle Ages until the XVIIe century, the Netherlands of the South were an important industrial and cultural center. Since XVIe century until the creation of Belgium in 1830, this territory was also the place of many battles between the European powers.
