Summary: "Het geval België" by James M. Beck is a historical account written during the early 20th century. The book examines the moral and political implications of Germany's invasion of Belgium at the outset of World War I. It presents a passionate defense of Belgium's sovereignty and an indictment of the political justifications offered by Germany for its aggressive actions. In this book, Beck argues that the invasion of Belgium represents a blatant violation of international law and a moral failing on the part of Germany. He emphasizes Belgium's peaceful status and its commitment to neutrality prior to the war, highlighting how the country was initially assured of its protection by major powers. The author meticulously details the series of diplomatic assurances made to Belgium by Germany and critiques the attempts to rationalize the invasion as a necessity for German security. Beck’s work serves as both a historical documentation of events and a powerful condemnation of the breach of trust among nations, seeking to rally public opinion against the injustices faced by Belgium during the war.
