The correct answer is C) Germany had to invade Belgium to get to northern France, but not the Netherlands.
Why was it possible for the Netherlands but not Belgium to maintain neutrality during Germany’s attack on France in World War I? Germany had to invade Belgium to get to northern France, but not the Netherlands. That is why on August 4, 1914, Germany troops advanced over the Belgium territory to capture Brussels and then, their main goal: to capture France. Let's remember that Belgium was a neutral country and tried to maintain that neutrality in the war. However, German soldiers had to cross Belgium to reach their main goal: capture France.
