Their privilege was further extended when all their sons fought in the First World War. Then, just to flaunt their privilege, their grandsons got to fight in World War 2.

To be fair, Belgium didn’t want to fight WWI, they were dragged into it by the Germans invading them.

Luckily for Belgium, King Albert I managed to gather up an army and stop them at Ypres, where the King would continue to lead his troops till he finally liberated Belgium in 1918.
