BELGIUM

The European state of Belgium was founded in 1830. The big City names are Antwerp and Luxemburg  and Flanders is a name we recall we recall "where poppies grow."  It is bigger than Massachusetts.. almost double in size at over 11 million souls. Belgium is a sophisticated member of the European Union.


Its proximity to France, England and Germany really makes it all in one. Belgium is known for pharmaceuticals, vehicles, oil, organic chemicals, plastics, Iron & steel,  medical technology and Electronics.


As I recall Antwerp was a pioneer in developing electricity and its attendant storage from the get go. Currently  Belgium is on the world's front stage with terrorism. It is truly a very sad state of affairs and the world reaches out with our sympathies to Belgian families.


RIP.
