Question

what was the special problem of Dutch speaking in Belgium (VSA)​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Brussels, the capital of Belgium presented a special problem: the Dutch-speaking people constituted a majority in the country, but a minority in the capital. In Brussels, 80% of the population spoke French while 20% were Dutch-speaking. The tension between the Dutch-speaking and the French-speaking communities started during the 1950s and 1960s. The tension between the two communities was more acute in Brussels.

Answer 2

(i) The economic inequality between the Dutch speaking and French-speaking was the basic cause of tension. (ii) The French-speaking community who was in minority was relatively rich and powerful whereas the Dutch-speaking community who was in majority was poor.
