@rphb5870 The history of the United States cannot be compared with that of Europe.
Belgium is an artificial construction that was agreed upon at the time (around 1830) by the then geopolitical forces France, England, Prussia, in Europe.
It was doomed from the start by an elitist (non-democratic politicians and clergy) structure that ignored and disrespected the language of the majority of the population.
French had to be the official language, while the vast majority, including in Brussels, spoke Dutch.
My grandmother (who I never heard speak French) was born in 1890 in Brussels and did not go to school because there were no Dutch-speaking schools at the time.
Anyway, you can't change history, you can learn lessons from it, but politicians rarely do that, they make the same mistakes over and over again (out of their own interest).
Look at Africa and the cultural and tribal disputes, where the borders of the countries are still the same as those drawn haphazardly by the colonists at the time
