		In the later 19th century the Belgian king Leopold II acquired the Congo Free State (now the Democratic Republic of the Congo; formerly known as Zaire) as his personal fiefdom, and this was recognized by the other European powers in 1885.
		Although the majority of the Belgians relied on the 1839 treaty guaranteeing Belgian neutrality, especially as it had been respected during the Franco-Prussian War in 1870, it had been the policy of Leopold II to make Belgium secure from invasion, and this policy was also adopted by Albert.
		Meanwhile the remains of the Belgian army were stationed on the extreme left of the Allied front, having withstood severe fighting at the Battle of the Yser.

	Astrid of Sweden - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Astrid of Sweden, Astrid Sofia Lovisa Thyra (November 17, 1905 - August 29, 1935) was the Queen consort of King Léopold III of the Belgians.
		She married Léopold on November 4, 1926, and became Queen of the Belgians when her father-in-law King Albert I died in 1934.
		Swedish Royalty was far less formal than those of middle Europe and at Stuyvenberg, not far away from the King's Laeken Palace, Astrid tried to live as ordinary a life as possible, taking care of her children.

		It is also noteworthy that Belgium is the only current European monarchy that does not apply the tradition of the new king automatically ascending the throne upon the death or abdication of the former king.
		According to the Belgian constitution, the king only accedes to the throne when he takes a constitutional oath.
		For example, the present king did not become monarch on July 31, 1993 (the day his brother died) but on August 9 of that same year (when he took the constitutional oath).

	Brussels Griffon
		The breed, which is essentially Belgian, was originally used as a guard dog and catcher of vermin, particularly in stable yards.
		It seems likely that it derives from the Affenpinscher, to which it certainly bears a facial resemblance; the introduction of the Pug may be responsible for the Brabancon, or smooth-coat, which in the early days was not recognized.
		An enthusiastic Griffon owner was the late Queen Astrid of the Belgians.
