It was thought it had to be built up as a neutral State in order to more effectively separate France from the strategically pivotal region of the Scheldt Estuary.
Leopold of the German House Saxony-Coburg-Gotha was appointed King of the Belgian People.
This "nomination" satisfied both French and British interests especially because at that time Germany was still divided in many States of minor importance and power sometimes having contrasting political and economical relationship.
A King of German Origin, wouldn't have therefore had no interest to support a politic which could harm British sensitivity about that delicate area and no interest which could annoy a powerful neighbour like France either.
