Belgium got independent in 1830. Before that, it was part of France (Napoleon!!). A king was chosen, Leopold I of Saksen-Coburg (German!).
On July 21 1831, he swore the oath of allegiance to the Belgian Constitution and the Belgian Law.
So that day is since then our National Holiday!

It is so funny that my mom didn't realize what day it was the evening she went into labor. She asked the doc why there were so many Belgian flags were flying on so many houses and buildings . By the time she gave birth to me, it was 21st of July
