No. The Netherlands manages to remain neutral. The German invasion of France in 1914 passed just to the south of the Netherlands, through Belgium. (Belgium and the Netherlands used to be one single territory, before they were divided into the Catholic Belgium and Protestant Netherlands in the 1830s). Almost all of Belgium remained occupied by the Germans throughout the war. At the very end of the war, when Kaiser Wilhelm abdicated (gave up the throne) he fled to the Netherlands, and lived there until he died in 1940.
