The 1860 census shows about 4,300 foreign-born #Belgians living in Brown and Kewaunee Counties.
The #Belgians participated in the early settlement (seventeenth century) of what is now Manhattan
From 1820 to 1910, immigration is listed at 104,000; from 1910 to 1950, 62,000 #Belgians came to the United States
What is this with the #French calling the #Belgians "belge" without even capitalizing it? Is that a slight? @kris any idea here?
Or is #Duolingo off its rocker again?

Most of the Wisconsin #Belgians were Walloons from the areas of Brabant and Liege, Belgium.
Most #Belgians coming to the United States were small landowners (farmers), agricultural laborers, and miners; crafts people such as carpenters, masons and cabinetmakers; and other skilled tradespeople

Each year since 1950, a fixed quota of 1,350 has remained unfilled, and it is calculated that by 1981, #Belgians represented no more than 0.4 % of the foreign-born population.
#Europe must be united ‼️
#Belgium is a shaky candidate.😵💫😣

Yes and #Belgians can destroy the #Europe by a single “no” which eventually lead the entire continent to much broader war👇
While politicians talk, #Belgians 🇧🇪 act in support of free 🇺🇦 ❕️
#Belgians came to America in greatest numbers during the nineteenth century. They came for reasons no different than many other Western Europeans—financial opportunity and a better life for their families.

#Belgian immigrants in the United States used the primary language of their homeland in Belgium. The Flemish and Walloon languages were commonly used by first-generation #Belgians until World War I.

Reading while drinking #Delirium is perhaps not the most practical. Since the 1st one was so good, and my brain was still working after, I went for a 2nd soon after & it hit like a ton of bricks- #Belgians don't mess around. Also, book isn't exactly exhilarating to be fair... #booksky #booksandbeer
Any #Belgians watching?

80% of Belgians do not expect the help of the United States if Europe is attacked.

Donald Trump takes a tough stance when supporting Europeans, given their insufficient military investments. A little"too" late for Europe to change the dynamics?!
#Belgians do it,too, or with slices of chocolate. Then tell me that *I'm* weird for loving #ChipButties! 🤣

Wahay! Ireland have breached he threshold at 102.7% Now it's up to all our EU friends to get this over the line. #Belgians - especially you, as you are nearest the threshold!
Thirsty Thursday came early! ;)

The original #Congo flag's blue embodies peace and pays homage to the mighty Congo River. Its yellow hue signifies the nation's abundant wealth, while the star stands as a beacon of hope for Congo's promising future, envisioned under the reign of His Majesty, King Leopold II of the #Belgians.
