Belgium the best little gentile art and culture loving intelligent Nation i get to know and love it so much. Groetjes van Antwerpen to all people on Earth.
Part of my heritage and where my last name comes from. My dream is to visit one day and see where my grandfather came from. My great Grandfather fled Belgium just before the Germans invaded in WW1 my grandfather was 7yrs old, my great grandfather worked in Sydney mines cape Breton Nova Scotia until a mine collapse took his life, my grandfather also went to work in the mines at 11yrs old the men would carry his lunchbox because he was so small 😂. My Belgian grandfather married my Scottish grandmother and had my Canadian 1st generation dad who joined the airforce as a fighter mechanic for the korean war my uncles all served in ww2. My dad fell in love with my raven black haired Mi'kmaq mother who had me a first nations man with European influence 😂
Thank you for this interesting report. A country grows with its people, and I think Belgium is great because of all the wonderful, intelligent Belgian People.Take care everyone, I will come back and learn more from you when Corona allows it.
Today, by car and by motorway, it's 30 minutes to an hour. If you are lucky. Let's not mention my record of 15 minutes, that was before they invented traffic cameras.
As a northern neighbor that lives close the Belgium border. I must admit I love Belgium as much as the Netherlands :) Lovely people and on top of that lovely fries
THANK YOU FOR SHARING HOW 🤔 VERY INTERESTING INFORMATION ABOUT THE ATHANTIC BELGIUM ALLIES FORCES TOGETHER WITH UK VERY INTERESTING ALL THE ALLIES BELGIUM CONNECTION 🇧🇪
Sehr schöner Film, ich finde solche historischen Aufnahmen immer wieder faszinierend anzusehen, teilweise natürlich auch viel Propaganda dabei, aber diese ist doch sehr zurückhaltend und eine beeindruckende Bildqualität. 🇧🇪♥️
Interesting to learn about what knowledge they had on Belgium at the time. Not surprising that they don't mention the atrocities occurring in the Congo and to the Congolese people. I think we are still a long way off any of it being common knowledge. Even today it's being swept under the rug. I still love my country despite our dark past and present because I see the social change that is occurring and I hope it continues on and we acknowledge all the victims. I feel the same way about. this country of my ancestors. Belgium is a fascinating place. Thanks for sharing.

Dont forget to taste our mighty collection of beer and of course our legendaries fries :D
Very nice of you to say and you're always welcome. But boy I wish I could agree on all belgian people being intelligent.
Antwerp is only 20 minutes away from Brussels by helicopter. That's useful information for most travellers :-) ... Nice documentary.

"the majority of the people speak the two languages", funny
Yeah only flemish isn't aa language, it's a dialect of dutch.
Those being the flemish. The walloon ussualy do not
I think more Flemings speak French while the most Walloons don't speak Dutch (Flemish)
@@taxandria1941 This is true
@@taxandria1941 well it used to be both after the 1930s but now it isnt obligatory anymore in wallonia

Lol @ groententuintjes op 10:04.
No mention of the Belgian-German minority!
if only our government was centralised again and people could set aside their ego for a second.
That's not just your government
THATS THE WORLD!
No, federalism is better. This is Belgium, not France.
Got the second part right, but needs to happen without centralisation
🇳🇱♥️🇧🇪
A wonderfull era
Interesting
you forget the German language in Belgium
It is the Burgundian way of life
🇬🇭🤝🇧🇪
Ah a pity about the brusselization period... such wonderful architecture lost
I speak East-Belgian very good, North-Belgian quite good, but hardly any South-Belgian.
I expected the Congo. and it was.............. here
Yeah
They glanced over it as expected 👀
@@juststop9379 doesn’t really influence Belgium
