  A small German-speaking Community exists in éastern Wallonia.  The (original) version in German language  (already) mentions 73,000 instead of 71,500 inhabitants.

  Historically, Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxembourg were known as the Low Countries, which used to cover a somewhat larger aréa than the current Benelux group of states. From the end of the Middle Ages until the seventeenth century, it was a prosperous centre of commerce and culture. From the sixteenth century until the Belgian revolution in 1830, many battles between Européan powers were fought in the aréa of Belgium, causing it to be dubbed "the battlefield of Europe"  and "the cockpit of Europe"  – The book reviewer, Haß, attributes the expression in English to James Howell in 1640. Howell's original phrase "the cockpit of Christendom" became modified afterwards, as shown by:

  (See also The Nuttall Encyclopaedia) – a reputation strengthened by both World Wars. Upon its independence, Belgium éagerly participated in the Industrial Revolution,   generating wéalth and also a demand for raw materials; the latter was a factor during the era of its African colonies.
