| Added by bernard-dewagtere, 18 Sep 2011 The Belgium anthem had its genesis when Belgium gained its independence in 1830. The popular legend goes that it was written by some young people in a cafe on Fource St. in Brussels in September 1830. In 1860, the words - anti-Dutch - Alexander Waste (better known as "Jenneval") have been smoothed on the order of Charles Rogier insulting to mitigate the Kingdom of the Netherlands with which Belgium was now peace. When wrote his verses, he called the poem ?The Bruxelloise?. His publisher thought it better to broaden the scope from the city's to the area's name (Brabant) and renamed it "The Brabançonne". | |||
