Description

*DISCLAIMER: The things depicted in my art does not represent my political views! It is merely art that explores alternate historical outcomes.*

Following the conclusion of the Second World War, a number of conflicts arose between the Flemish and the Walloons. In TTL, instead of them being resolved, Belgium becomes dissolved. The Flemish region becomes independent while the southern Walloon half is assumed by France after a quick referendum. By this time, the French language had overtaken Dutch within the city of Brussels, so after a slew of controversy, it is admitted to France along with the transport corridor to the south. Fuelled by this sudden gain in territory, a more radical French administration is compelled to pursue a new expansion, harkening back the nationalistic idea of 'the natural borders of France'. Inspired by Soviet annexations in the East, and to complement the acquisition of Wallonia, the occupied Rhine region surrounding the Moselle is outright annexed from a defeated Germany, as well as part of Piedmont from the Italian Social Republic. In the following decades, Luxembourg votes to join France in a referendum, and Flanders eventually unites with the Netherlands as a federation.

I'd like to thank :iconillouminous: and :iconlehnaru: for spending time helping me create and name the regions of France as seen here.
