Question

What were the two main causes of resentment in belgium in 1960? How was the conflict solved

Answer 1

Hey Friend....☺

Here is your answer

The minority French-speaking community was relatively rich and powerful.

This was resented by the Dutch-speaking community who got the benefit of economic development and education much later.

This led to tension between the Dutch speaking and French-speaking communities during the 1950s-60s.

The conflict was solved through an agreement that dutch should also have the same no. Of people and powers in the center.

Hoping it helps

Thanks....

Answer 2

(i) The minority French-speaking community was relatively rich and powerful. This was resented by majority Dutch-speaking community, who got economic and educational benefit much later.

(ii) In the capital city Brussels, the Dutch-speaking people constituted minority and was dominated by French-speaking community.

The conflict was solved by recognizing the existence of regional differences and cultural diversities. Thus, the Belgian leaders took the path of equal opportunity and representation for every community in government. There was vertical division of power and community government formed regarding educational, linguistic and cultural issues.
