The modern Belgium was one of the first countries to experience an Industrial Revolution, which brought prosperity in the 19th century but also opened a political dichotomy between liberal businessmen and socialist workers. Belgium was neutral but its strategic location as a pathway to France made it an invasion target for Germany in 1914 and 1940. The top 2 paintings show the Gothic Town Hall. The Town Hall (French: Hôtel de Ville; Dutch: Stadhuis) is the central edifice on the Grand Place. It was built in several stages between 1402 and 1455.
