It didn't. The German Army overran Belgium very quickly to enter France and the Battle of the Bulge was fought in Belgium in the winter of 1944/45.

Belgium did not escape being invaded in World War 2. They were overtaken by the Allies in 1940 as an occupying force. The country eventually declared itself to be siding with the Allies in the later portion of that year.

Fort Eban was considered a significant holding point for advancing troops as they came into Belgium. Some 400 were killed and the fort surrendered when the reinforcements came under heavy air attack by Stuka dive bombers.

Belgium was an early battleground where the allies soon found out that Germany was interested in fighting with more modern tactics than the allies had seen previously. General Rommel's tanks overtook Belgium faster than the Allies could even believe was possible.
