Description
Belgium is a unique country with a varied and interesting past. While it did not become a country until 1830 and suffered during World Wars I and II, it has persevered in hard times and has become a popular, respected country. Today Belgium is a fascinating place to visit and study, with its diverse population, detailed architecture, and many customs. This book details Belgium’s history, explores its people, languages, and culture, and examines what makes Belgium the country it is today. All books of the critically-acclaimed Cultures of the World® series ensure an immersive experience by offering vibrant photographs with descriptive nonfiction narratives, and interactive activities such as creating an authentic traditional dish from an easy-to-follow recipe.
