  Belgium - Hutchinson encyclopedia article about Belgium
The kingdom of Belgium was founded after the 1830 revolution, but the history of the area – the southern part of the Low Countries (also sometimes referred to in their entirety as the Netherlands) – dates back to pre-Roman times.
Belgium also gained the district of Eupen-and-Malmédy and the commune of Moresnet from Germany, thus adding 984 sq km/380 sq mi of territory, which in 1925 were made part of the province of Liège.
Since 1945 Belgium has been a major force for international cooperation in Europe, being a founding member of the Benelux Economic Union in 1948, the Council of Europe, and the European Economic Community (now the European Union), whose administrative headquarters are in Brussels.
