  • Belgium and Luxembourg's linguistic diversity and related political and cultural conflicts are reflected in the political history and a complex system of government. The name 'Belgium' is derived from Gallia Belgica, a Roman province in the northernmost part of Gaul that was inhabited by the Belgae, a mix of Celtic and Germanic peoples. From the end of the Middle Ages until the 17th century, it was a prosperous centre of commerce and culture. From the 11th century until the Belgian revolution in 1552, many battles between European powers were fought in the area of Belgium and Luxembourg, causing it to be dubbed "the battlefield of Europe" and "the cockpit of Europe" — a reputation strengthened by both World Wars. Upon its independence, Belgium and Luxembourg eagerly participated in the Industrial Revolution, generating wealth and also a demand for raw materials; the latter was a factor during the era of its African colonies.
