As for Brussels being more developed, isn't that also due to the fact Belgium was modelled after France in its early days? Even if France, however, is less centralised than it used to be or seeking to step out of that mentality.
    Yes, Brussels got all the good shit due to centralization.
    I was talking more about modern destruction of historical buildings for ugly modern buildings...

    (continuing the video: the guy is biased and when he says that the border went upward... not true either: only in French flanders was frenchified, in Belgium the border is more or less the same as it always was (even though it was more mixed, and less water and oil), I feel the guy is quite biased)

    The guy is Dutch then... these past few years I saw more and more dutch people being opiniated about Belgium. I'm far less pro-Dutch than you are for sure
    War doesn't decide who's right, but who's left.

    It is, and are the vast majority of Asian and African countries.

    But at least with the UK, it is sort of seen like a unification of different countries rather than a distinct nation in it's own right.

    Realistically only two languages. The German parts were taken over by Belgium in 1919.

    Ethnicity matters more than language. The UK is made up of the English, Scottish, and Welsh as the three main ethnic groups.

    So they speak French, Dutch and German because they have the same ethnicity?

    I acknowledge that Belgium is an artificial country. I was just agreeing with Litvin that the UK is an artificial country as well.

    No it's called a decentralized state. It works really well, in fact so well that even without a government for a year the average guy didn't feel anything change negatively.
