The German army invaded and occupied Belgium at the beginning of World War 1. Belgium was a neutral country but was seen as a strategic location by Germany for its military advancements.
American public opinion turned against Germany in WW One & WW Two for various reasons. In WW1, Germany invaded France & Belgium in August 1914. Because, Belgium was a neutral country, Americans were upset with Germany. The invasion of Belgium however was not the most important factor. Later, German unrestricted submarine warfare also turned American public opinion against Germany. Then as a final straw, the German's Zimmermann telegram message to Mexico further angered Americans. In WW2, Germany invaded Poland, neutral Denmark, neutral Norway, neutral Holland, neutral Belgium, and so forth on & on. German submarine warfare also turned public opinion against Germany.
When Germany invaded Belgium in August 1914, Belgium was a neutral country, having declared its neutrality in the 1839 Treaty of London. The invasion was part of Germany's strategic plan to quickly defeat France by advancing through Belgium, which violated Belgian neutrality and drew the United Kingdom into the war. Belgium's resistance against the German forces garnered international sympathy and support, further complicating the conflict. This invasion marked a significant escalation in World War I, transforming a regional conflict into a broader global war.
In 1914 the German army invaded Belgium on it's way to France. During the Schrieffer plan Germany thought that going through Belgium was going to be easy and that Britain was going to remain neutral if Germany attacked Belgium.

Germany
Belgium was a neutral country at the start of WWI. However, Germany invaded neutral countries like Belgium as a part of Schlieffen Plan to eventually capture France. This led to involvement of Great Britain in war to help Belgium.
In the past the Germans have invaded many countries, but the neutral country invasion that angered Americans most was the invasion of Belgium.
On 19 April 1839 the Treaty of London signed by the European powers (including the Netherlands) recognized Belgium as an independent and neutral country. Despite it's neutrality, Germany invaded Belgium anyway to surprise the French army who did not expect Germany to cross neutral Belgium. Because of the German invasion Belgium became part of the "Allies" and was not neutral during the rest of the war.
Belgium was initially neutral, but was invaded by Germany on 10 May 1940 and surrendered later that month.
