➡ This is the first episode of a new series that will summarize the history of Belgium since its independence in 1830. I will talk about the history of political opposition, economic evolution and Belgium's relationship with the rest of the world (wars, colonization).

For the first episode, I will talk about the beginnings of independent Belgium! How did Belgium acquire a constitution? What was Europe's reaction to Belgian independence? How was the King of the Belgians chosen? What were the political conflicts in Belgium at that time? I pass !
