Didn’t Brabant split into Flemish and Walloon parts only in the 90’s?
Really interesting!
I had no idea that the French department borders were still in use today
I didn’t know Brussels borders were defined in the 19th century and not in the late 1980s
Where’s Neutraal Moresnet?
This is really interesting! So Baarle-Hertog really is Belgium’s oldest border
Interesting. I always love this historical stuff.
Weren’t some part of southern Hainaut part of France after the first abdication of Napoleon and were given to the Dutch only after the end the 100 days and the second abdication of Napoleon? Like Philippeville for example, which was a French city from 1660 to 1815? Shouldn’t the date of that part be 1815?.

I knew about Kortrijk and Oudenaarde, but I am surprised even Roeselare and Tielt had to be returned from the French. That’s the center of West Flanders.
