German violation of Belgian neutrality escalated the 1914
hostilities into a world war, and disagreement about Belgium's
future did much to block a compromise peace. In the postwar decade,
Belgium's role as intermediary between France and Britain was
pivotal, and its primary concerns reveal mush about postwar
Europe's search for stability. Yet, at the Paris Peace Conference,
Belgium emerged with little to show for its suffering.
