- The flag of Benelux. It is consisted of the flag of the Netherlands in the background, a black square centered in the middle of the flag to represent Belgium, and the lion of Luxembourg in the center of that square.
- The Benelux countries are Belgium, the Netherlands, and Luxembourg.
- In 1947 the German Democratic Republic was formed, this made the rest of Europe most uneasy; domestic unrest in France alongside an expansive Soviet Union pushed the King of Belgium, the Queen of the Netherlands and the Grand Duke of Luxembourg to meet at Antwerp in what would become known as the “Meeting of the Three Crowns”. At this conference it was decided that these nations had suffered too much at the hands of other nation’s aggression in the past and that the only way that they would survive should another war break out in Europe would be if their three countries joined together into the “Kingdom of Benelux”, this would be a Federal system that would give the three nations a degree of domestic autonomy with each Royal remaining the head of state in their respective Kingdom or Duchy

- The flag of Benelux. It is consisted of the flag of the Netherlands in the background, a black square centered in the middle of the flag to represent Belgium, and the lion of Luxembourg in the center of that square.
- In 1947 the German Democratic Republic was formed, this made the rest of Europe most uneasy; domestic unrest in France alongside an expansive Soviet Union pushed the King of Belgium, the Queen of the Netherlands and the Grand Duke of Luxembourg to meet at Antwerp in what would become known as the “Meeting of the Three Crowns”. At this conference it was decided that these nations had suffered too much at the hands of other nation’s aggression in the past and that the only way that they would survive should another war break out in Europe would be if their three countries joined together into the “Kingdom of Benelux”, this would be a Federal system that would give the three nations a degree of domestic autonomy with each Royal remaining the head of state in their respective Kingdom or Duchy and a Prime Minister would be elected to govern the entire Kingdom, laws passed would require the signature of each of the Monarchs and its official languages would be Dutch, French, Luxembourgish and German. The Duchy of Luxembourg was expanded to include the Saarland and Trier when it joined the Kingdom of Benelux in 1951. The country received generous amounts of Marshall Aid and became an economic powerhouse, filling the gap left in the European Economy that the loss of a Capitalist Germany had left. The Belgian Congo was given its independence in 1946, and Indonesia was let go in 1949 – a range of overseas departments were established in the Beneluxian Antilles, Suriname and Aruba. As the country regained its economic stability it was decided that a strong military had to be established, in co-operation with the French government a strong system of defences were built up on the boarder with the GDR.
- The Benelux countries are Belgium, the Netherlands, and Luxembourg.
