Belgium was invaded by Germany on 4 August 1914, despite the fact that its neutrality was guaranteed by Britain, France and Germany. Since 1906 Germany had only one plan (the Schlieffen Plan) for a future war with France and that involved marching through Belgium. Incidentally, the original version of the plan involved marching through the Netherlands, too, but it was revised after Schlieffen's retirement.
