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.

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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Belgium and the Belgians The object of the present work is not that of a guide-book, but rather to convey that information respecting Belgium and its people which we look for in vain in the excellent topographical works of Baedeker, Murray, Grant Allen, Ward & Lock, Lindley, and Jean d'Ardenne. In the chapter on "The Holiday Ground of Belgium" the writer has endeavoured to describe faithfully a tour made by him in the summer of 1899 through the Liege district and the Ardennes. He does not profess to have discovered anything new or strange; but as he has carefully avoided describing any place which he has not recently visited, he believes that his narrative may possibly be of use to those who may wish to undertake a similar excursion.

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.

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.

The graphic account he had given of Belgian refugees flocking out of Antwerp led us to believe that he was one who could well and profitably tell our boys and girls how those of their own age live in a land that has become the center of so great interest.
