	Belgium - Hutchinson encyclopedia article about Belgium
		By the 11th century seven feudal states had emerged: the counties of Flanders, Hainaut, and Namur, the duchies of Brabant, Limburg, and Luxembourg, and the bishopric of Liège, all nominally subject to the French kings or the German emperor, but in practice independent.
		Flanders with its cities became one of the most important counties, and had to struggle constantly against France to maintain its independence.
		Cities such as Antwerp and Ghent have been developed as industrial and commercial centres, but increasing industrialization in Flanders has led to population movements that have accentuated the latent friction between Flemings and Walloons, and this has flared up from time to time into intercommunal riots.
