Yet before the creation of a buffer state called Belgium, France and UK were in a never ending war.

Alas, geography has a power which cannot be negated by the UN, NATO or pacifism.

How was Belgium a buffer between England and France? Their long term contention was removed by the growth of imperial Germany and its odd desire to build a fleet to challenge England. Read massie’s dreadnought.
