His view of neutrals is a perfect match to his desire for war and to be a war leader (or any kind of leader - here was a man who had his mother sleep with anyone to further his own ambition).<br /><br />The Belgians, meanwhile, as you so wonderfully write, did not want war. They wanted only to live their own lives and found themselves in a place between opposing powers. King Albert was such a great hero, as was Leopold, I think.<br /><br />(And nowadays the Belgians get their own back in a less bloody way by dominating all our law via the EU ;-) )Christinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00714569232976515363noreply@blogger.com
