Belgium (French Belgique; Dutch

België), constitutional monarchy in

northwestern Europe. Belgium is

one of the smallest and most

densely populated European

countries. It is also the most

urbanized; 97 percent of its people

live in urban areas. Together with

Netherlands and Luxembourg,

Belgium forms the Low, or

Benelux, Countries. The country’s

name comes from the Belgae, a

Celtic people who lived in the

region and were conquered by

Roman general Julius Caesar in 57

BC. Its capital and largest city is

Brussels.

Belgium is situated between France and the plains of northern Europe, and it borders the North Sea. Because of its geographic position as a crossroads of Europe, Belgium has been a major commercial center since the Middle Ages. The North Sea has been the country’s outlet for trade with the rest of the world. Belgium’s geographic location has also given it strategic importance, and many battles have been fought for control of the area. Belgium became an independent country in 1830.

The "independence flag" of Syria, used before

the Ba'athist coup in 1963, has been widely

used by protesters as an opposition flag and
