Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Violation of the Neutrality of Belgium: With a Preface Belgium, a neutral country, living in calm and complete friend ship with the neighbouring Powers which had guaranteed her neutrality, an industrious nation, accustomed to liberty and devoted to the arts of peace, has been dragged against her will into the most frightful war which has ever devastated the world. What circumstances compelled this little people of seven million souls to take up arms and to dare the German colossus? Why has she been exposed to all the horrors of invasion? Why has she poured out her blood and material resources without counting the cost? The documents collected in this pamphlet furnish the answer to these questions. They set out the unswerving loyalty of Bel gium and her inflexible resolve to fulfil all her duties to others as well as to herself. They set out also the cynical promises made by Germany and the brutal threat which accompanied them., Belgium needs no eloquence to succeed in her suit before the civilised world. It is enough to set out the facts. They furnish irresistible proof of the justice of her cause. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Case of Belgium in the Present War: An Account of the Violation of the Neutrality of Belgium and of the Laws of War on Belgian Territory His Majesty, the King of the Belgians, has appointed a Special Envoy, for the purpose of acquainting the President of the United States of America with the deplorable state of affairs prevailing in Belgium, whose neutrality has been unjustly violated and who, since the beginning of hostilities, has been the theater of the worst outrages on the part of the invading German army, in defiance of rules solemnized by International Treaties, and customs consecrated by public right and the Law of Nations. Mr. Henry Carton de Wiart, Minister of Justice, has been chosen for this mission. He is accompanied by Messrs. de Sadeleer, Hymans, and Vandervelde, Ministers of State. Count Louis de Lichtervelde is attached to the Mission as secretary. The Mission was received by the President of the United States in Washington, on September 16th, 1914.

Download or read book Belgium written by Emile Waxweiler and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-24 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Belgium: Neutral and Loyal; The War of 1914 In the universal turmoil of the present moment public opinion is slow in forming; it is fostered mainly by impressions. Perhaps the moment has come to lay facts before it. To clear up every doubt and furnish the material for a considered judgment, it will not be superfluous to meet every accusation, even those whose mere recital violates common sense, and to. Bestow upon them more atten tion than might at first sight be considered appropriate. Belgium has nothing with which to reproach herself; it is due to her that this should be proved by evidence; that no piece of testimony should be omitted and that every mistake and every slander should be exposed firmly but dispassionately. Other nations besides my own have an equal interest in this. To represent Belgium as having failed to keep her promises strikes a blow at the cause of little nations and at the theory of perpetual neutrality. The history of the future will without doubt be that of the free development of nations, jealous of their independence and impatient to escape from the play of intrigue and the hegemony of foreign influence. The nations which have grown great under the shelter of the sanction of law, as well as those who may perhaps dream of attaining that benefit in the future, ought to have full knowledge of the lessons of the experience of Belgium. These lines are dated from Switzerland. In this country, which bears so strong a resemblance to my own, I have found not only the moral support of sympathy but also that moderate and critical attitude of mind which is necessary for one who undertakes a work in which so much restraint is necessarily placed upon the feelings of the writer.

Download or read book Belgium and the Scrap of Paper Classic Reprint written by Henry Noel Brailsford and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-05-22 with total page 26 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Belgium and "the Scrap of Paper" There are two ways of regarding such a crime as the German invasion of Belgium. The natural impulse of every normal man, as he realised, first that a treaty had been broken, and then that an unprovoked invasion had been aggravated by more than the common ruthlessness of war, was one of honest anger. There was every justification for that anger. It is an axiom of the law of nations, older by far than the Hague Convention, that the territory of neutrals is inviolable, and in this case Belgium was no ordinary neutral. Perpetual neutrality had been imposed upon her by the Powers, and Prussia signed the treaty which established it. Belgium was the vestal virgin of Europe. Her security was a claim on the honour of her neighbours, and the Power which threatens it, is guilty of something worse. Than an attack on Bel gium. It has weakened the fabric of faith and honesty among peoples, substituted force for law in their intercourse, and delayed the march of civilisation. These are abstract words; it is. A heavier count against Germany that she has rendered hundreds of thousands of Belgians homeless, and made widows and orphans among a people which had done her no wrong.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Belgian People's War: A Violation of International Law In laying an English translation of the German White-Book on the franctireur war in Belgium before the public it should be pointed out - as may also be seen from the numbering of the annexes - that the English version is not a complete rendering of the German original. Of the annexes, which contain over two hundred and twenty affidavits and reports, only about one-third have been included, so as to save the reader a wearisome repetition of numerous similar incidents and to give him, with less labor to himself, an approximate idea of the kind of actions indulged in by the Belgian civilian population. The German original is open for inspection at the Imperial German Embassy and the Imperial German Consulates in this country.

This book was released on 2015-07-16 with total page 92 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Second Belgian Grey Book, Vol. 2 I gave a suitable reply, remarking, with all necessary reserva tions, that the close relations into which Great Britain had recently entered with certain Great Powers did not leave her in the same position towards us which she had formerly occupied, although the existence of a free and independent Belgium con tinnes to be a vital necessity for her policy. Our wish is, if possible, to prevent Belgium from again becoming the battlefield of Europe, as she has been too often in the past. I added that it was the intention of Belgium to possess an army which should be strong enough to be taken seriously and which would allow her to fulfil completely her duty of safeguarding her independence and neutrality. That is excellent, M. De Margerie replied, but are not your new armaments actuated by the fear that your neutrality might be violated by France? No, I replied, they are no more directed against France than against Germany; they are intended to prevent anyone, whoever he. May be, from entering the country. M. Poincare has assured me that France would never take the initiative in violating our neutrality, but that if the German armies should enter Belgium and we should not be strong enough to drive them back, the Government of the Republic would consider themselves justified in taking whatever steps they thought expedient to defend French territory, either upon their own frontier or, if the General Staff thought it more expedient, to advance to meet the Imperial armies.

Download or read book The Past and the Future of Belgium Classic Reprint written by Albert J. Carnoy and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-10 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Past and the Future of Belgium Belgium has been placed in special prominence by her situation at the center of the greatest fight in history and by her noble attitude during a long period of indescribable sufferings. Many a name of her cities and villages has been associated for ever with deeds of glory or shame. Many a name of her sons has been added to the list of heroes who have suffered for ideals dear to mankind. The German intrigues as well as the discussions at the Peace Conference have acquainted the whole world with special aspects of Belgian nationality and Belgian politics. But all this has been very fragmentary information, and numerous are the persons in America who have the most friendly interest for Belgium but know very little of that country, her aspects, her inhabitants, the essential facts of her history, the main features of her national character. Particulars as to the amount of destruction wrought by the Germans and about the part played by Belgium in the war are also very desirable; but above all, in connection with the restoration of the country and with its future, it will be helpful to provide reliable and clear information to all those who may come in contact with a nation that has now indelible bonds of friendship with the United States. Both countries will remain associated during the period of re construction and it is desirable that they know one another. This is the idea which has inspired the present booklet which in a condensed form treats of Belgium, her glorious past, her ideals, her part in the war, her problems in the near future, her possibilities, her place in the new world.

Download or read book Belgium Classic Reprint written by Demetrius Charles de Kavanagh Boulger and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-08-06 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Belgium As great a change as has passed over the face of the country has modified and moulded anew the Belgian character. Prosperity, the remarkable national success, the feeling of independence have dispelled the timidity that used to colour all the views of the Belgians. Those who describe them as loth to accept responsibility and fearful of their capacity to retain what they have won are thinking of men of the last generation and not of the present day. Quiet but none the less resolute self confidence is the basis of public opinion among Walloons and Flemings alike. The qualities that enable nations to bear adversity are not always those most suited for prosperity. Self-restraint, the suppression of natural emotion when the withholding influence disappears, may easily become arro gance, and the desire to browbeat those identified with former oppression may prove irresistible. But in the case of Belgium two circumstances have counteracted this natural revulsion from one extreme to the other. There is the limitation to Belgian sovereignty in the imposition of per manent neutrality by the Treaty Powers which seemed to carry with it the assumption that Europe had recognised Belgium to a certain extent on probation. It is scarcely necessary to say that that phase of her national life passed away long ago. Belgium can more or less work out her own destiny.
