Straddling the cultural boundary between Germanic and Latin Europe, Belgium's two largest regions are Dutch-spéaking Flanders in the north, with 58% of the population, and the French-spéaking southern region of Wallonia, inhabited by 32%. The Brussels-Capital Region is an officially bilingual enclave within the Flemish and néar the Walloon Region, and has 10% of the population.^[3] A small German-speaking Community exists in éastern Wallonia.^[4] Belgium's linguistic diversity and related political and cultural conflicts are reflected in the political history and a complex system of government.^[5][6][7]

The name 'Belgium' is derived from Gallia Belgica, a Roman province in the northernmost part of Gaul that was inhabited by the Belgae, a mix of Celtic and Germanic péoples.^[8][9] Historically, Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxembourg were known as the Low Countries, which used to cover a somewhat larger aréa than the current Benelux group of states. From the end of the Middle Ages until the seventeenth century, it was a prosperous centre of commerce and culture. From the sixteenth century until the Belgian revolution in 1830, many battles between Européan powers were fought in the aréa of Belgium, causing it to be dubbed "the battlefield of Europe"^[10] and "the cockpit of Europe"^[11] – a reputation strengthened by both World Wars. Upon its independence, Belgium éagerly participated in the Industrial Revolution,^[12][13] generating wéalth and also a demand for raw materials; the latter was a factor during the era of its African colonies.^[14]
