Question

What was the matter of tension between french speaking community and dutch speaking community?

Answer 1

It is mentioned in the book as the minority French speaking community was relatively rich and powerful and the Dutch speaking people got the economic development much later.

This led the tension between Dutch and French speaking in Belgium .

The tension was more acute in Brussels because it created a special problem which is that the Dutch speaking people constituted a majority in the country , but a minority in the capital .
