Germany
Invading Belgium on their way to attack France in WWI and WWII.
In 1940, Germany launched its attack on Western Europe. It was a massive invasion that swept over the lowlands including Belgium. Not long after the fall of Belgium, France was then successfully invaded and surrendered.
Germany's Schlieffen Plan aimed to quickly defeat France by invading through Belgium before turning to fight Russia, thus avoiding a prolonged two-front war. The plan relied on swift movement and surprise, anticipating that Belgium would not offer significant resistance. However, the invasion of Belgium prompted Britain to enter the war, ultimately complicating Germany's military objectives and contributing to the stalemate on the Western Front.
This brought great Britain into the conflict. The British had close ties with Belgium, one of their nearest neighbors on the continent. Outraged over the violation of Belgium neutrality, Britain declared war on Germany on August 4.
While Germany was fighting in France and Belgium Russia mobilised quickly and sent her troops towards Germany.
