It depends on the time period you are talking about. Western countries are usually the America's canada, and Africa. Then again it depends on what time period you are talking about because it changes if your talking middle ages, WWI WWII etc...
Because Germany invaded Belgium.
The countries of the United States and Canada condemned the attack against Belgium because it was done by the Germans who were part of the allied forces. The attack was unprovoked and the Germans murdered many civilians for no reason.
ANSWER1. Germany invaded the neutral country Belgium. 2. Germany was blamed for WWI because of their "excesses" of war.
In Otto von Bismarck's nationalist speeches, the sacrifice often referred to was the willingness of the German states to relinquish some degree of sovereignty for the greater goal of unification under Prussian leadership. This was difficult because it required overcoming regional loyalties and historical rivalries, as many states were reluctant to cede power. Additionally, the fear of losing autonomy and identity made the prospect of unification a contentious issue among the various German territories. Bismarck's adept manipulation of nationalist sentiment helped to navigate these challenges, ultimately leading to the establishment of a unified German Empire.
The Southern part: Wallonia, Flanders (what is now West and East Flanders province), Antwerp and (Belgian) Brabant. The Belgian part of Limbourg (in the east of Belgium) became part of Belgium 9 years later.
Belgium exits Because Spain didn't want to lose the 17 Netherlands in a revolt and invaded the place. The Current Belgian-Dutch border is where the Dutch stopped the Spanish. Belgium became independent because Belgium wanted to.

Belgium shares land borders with Germany, Luxembourg, France and the Netherlands. There are - because they touch Belgium - all equally "near" to Belgium.
It absolutely depends on which country are you applying to become a citizen of. Because some countries do not allow dual citizenship, so, you'll have to give up your Belgian nationality based on their request. Moreover, Belgium does not allow you to retain dual nationality if you want to become a citizen of some countries such as the Netherlands, Korean Republic, and Japan.
Because Belgium is formed in 1830 by different provinces of Southern Netherlands. And in the most southern ones people speak French and formed together Wallonia. The northern part, these days known as Flanders, is formed by West and East Flanders, Brabant, Antwerp and Belgian Limburg. Historically Flanders was the part in the west (the current provences West and East flanders of Belgium) + Zeeuws Vlaanderen (South-West of current Netherlands) + French-Flanders (north-west of France).
The bodering countries are the Netherlands, France, Luxembourg and Germany.Although the United Kingdom isn't really bordering because it's an island, the UK is also one of Belgium's neighbouring countries.
Because German troops had crossed the border into Belgium, contravening a longstanding treaty that guaranteed Belgian neutrality.
Three: Germany, Luxembourg and Belgium. There is even a tri-border point where the borders of Luxembourg, Belgium and the Netherlands all come together. Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxembourg althogehter are sometimes abbrevated to Benelux. This is mainly because of the language similarities (Dutch is also a official langue in Belgium along French) since all the countries are independent states.
The Germans invaded Belgium because they thought it would go faster. At that time no-one could imagine a Belgian defending his home. Then as a result Belgium called the other two guarantee-powers to help, France and the UK. These two nations did not immediately help Belgium. France could not resist the glamor of regaining Alsace-Lorraine and the UK poured it's troops in France, instead of Belgium and kept them there until the Belgian army was at breaking point and had retreated in Namur and Antwerp.
