In 1815, Napoleon took his forces into Belgium after escaping from Elba to defeat the allied armies in detail before they could join forces. He nearly succeeded. After defeating the English and German armies in separate engagements, Wellington and his coalition forces held Napoleon at bay until the retreating German forces could about face and march to Wellington's aid, arriving late in the day, and taking Napoleon in flank, by surprise, costing him the Battle of Waterloo, and leading to Napoleon's imprisonment on St. Helena for life.

How did Belgian resistance affect the German war plans?
In WWI? The German's wanted to march through Belgium into northern France to attack them from behind. They wanted to prevent a two front war (France and Russia) by taking France out fast. They hoped that they could go through with no resistance because Belgium was a neutral country. Belgium, however, did not appreciate this, so they put up a small resistance to the German forces. This gave the French some time to assemble their forces in the north. The Germans were delayed by three days, so when they finally broke into France, they were put down quickly by the French fighters.Source(s):History buff.
