(*) Territories (1) and (2) were joined from 1815 until 1830 as the united Kingdom of the Netherlands. In 1830, Belgium seceded, which was acknowledged by the Dutch in 1839. The border between the two countries was formally determined in 1843.
(#) In 1919, Belgium received bilingual Moresnet and the part-Germanophone, part-Francophone East Cantons as compensation for damages incurred in World War I. Since then, all territories marked (2), (3) and (4 west of c) have been part of Belgium, except for a brief period in World War II when Germany (re-)annexed Moresnet and the East Cantons.
