How is this a "buffer zone" between Germany and France?

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

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.

>>3228378
belgium stopped the germans in WW1 though

>>3228363
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?

>>3228903
And when you spot their shenanigans, they just laugh at you "we're not even a country, how could we be behind everything?"

>>3228908

With all these lands.

>>3229100
burgundy pretty much almost became middle francia if it wasn't for the autism of the holy roman emperor

>buffer

It isn't

It is to impede from protecting the Rhine, and allow German movement towards the core part of France

This non-country should have been annexed by us after WW1 alongside Rhineland

>>3229227
Who's us? netherlands?

>>3229265
I think he's French

>>3229265
>who us

Us, the French obviously

>>3229227
French talking like they even have the tiny chance against the Belgians.

>>3229265
Luxembourg, obviously
