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.
