And of course they had formally decared themselves 'neutral' at the start of the war, meaning they were not allowed to assist any of the warring parties in any way .

The Western Front Happened In France, Belgium. During World War One.(1914-1918)
May 1940 was during WWII. In that particular month Germany invaded western Europe. The main German attack, went through the Ardennes Forest in southeastern Belgium and northern Luxembourg. German tanks and infantry quickly broke through the French defensive lines and advanced to the coast. The allies believed that German forces would attack through central Belgium as they had in World War I, and rushed forces to the Franco-Belgian border to meet the German attack. Belgium and the Netherlands surrendered in May. More than 300,000 French and British troops were evacuated from the beaches near Dunkirk (Dunkerque) across the English Channel to Great Britain. Paris, the French capital, fell to the Germans on June 14, 1940.
