La défense de la Belgique à la frontière. L'avis d'une population directement menacée.
The Defence Of Belgium At Its Boundaries The Opinion Of A Directly Involved Population: The military reforms introduced on the eve of the first world war proved ineffective because they had been brought about too late. Was the lesson taken to heart ? Apparently not, for it lasted until 1931, before a complete defence policy was proposed and approved of in Parliament.
L'opinion liégeoise et la remilitarisation de la Rhénanie.
The Opinion In Liege And The Remilitarization Of The Rhineland: The remilitarization of the Rhineland, on 7 March, 1936, is a capital stage in the reorganization of the political and military power of Germany, after the first world war. The presence of the Reichswehr at Aix-la-Chapelle puts Liège among the outposts; the enemy motorized units could lay siege to the Ardennes in less than one hour. How was such an event felt about ? Before 1936, the eventuality of Hitler's denunciation of the Lucerne treaty newer really drew the attention of the Liège press.
