Kingdom of Belgium
The Kingdom of Belgium was a country located in Europe in what is now the northern area of the SS State of Burgundy. The country bordered the Kingdom of the Netherlands to the north, the French Republic to the south, and Germany to the east. Belgium also controlled the majority of what is now Reichskommissariat Zentralafrika.
History
Pre-war
Belgium broke free from the Kingdom of the Netherlands in 1831, and in 1839 was recognized as a neutral state in Europe, with the great powers guaranteeing that Belgium would not be drawn into any conflicts. Belgium received the Congo as a colony in 1884, and the colony was ruled in a reign of terror that would inspire later Nazi colonial governors in Ostafrika. Belgium's neutrality was violated in 1914 and the country was a battlefield between the Entente and Central Powers. Belgium attempted to declare neutrality again in World War II, seeing how well it helped last time.
Neutrality fails again
In 1940, as part of Fall Gelb, Belgium was once again invaded by Germany. The German panzers quickly swept over Belgium, surrounding and destroying the entire British Expeditionary Force at Dunkirk. Belgium's Congo colony remained free from German occupation until near the end of the war, when German forces occupied central Africa.
The fate of Belgium
Belgium was initially part of Reichskommissariat Belgien-Nord Frankreich, led by Reichskommissar Josef Grohé, but this was a short lived status. Following the attempted Schutzstaffel coup, the territory of Belgium and northern France was put under the direct control of Heinrich Himmler and his totalitarian state, the SS State of Burgundy. The Belgian identity was quickly stamped out, and mass executions and state terror silenced anyone remaining who would believe in such concepts.
Legacy
What was once the debatably free and independent state of Belgium is now the dark heart of Ordenstaat Burgund. Many Belgians have been enslaved, killed or assimilated into the new Burgundian culture. Some Belgians remain overseas, but any hope for a restored Belgium dwindles each passing day.
