On 19 April 1839 the Treaty of London signed by the European powers (including the Netherlands) recognized Belgium as an independent and neutral country. Despite it's neutrality, Germany invaded Belgium anyway to surprise the French army who did not expect Germany to cross neutral Belgium. Because of the German invasion Belgium became part of the "Allies" and was not neutral during the rest of the war.
