Belgium has a long history of cultural and political influences, including Celtic, Roman, and Frankish rule. It was part of the Spanish and Austrian Netherlands before falling under French control during the Napoleonic Wars. Belgium gained independence from the Netherlands in 1830. The country was occupied during both World Wars but rebuilt itself into a prosperous European nation. Today, Belgium is a founding member of the EU and NATO, with Brussels serving as the de facto capital of the European Union.
