Question

why was the tension more acute in brussels between the two communities

Answer 1

(i) The issues of 'majoritarianism' and financial preference led to the tensions between the Dutch speaking and French speaking communities in Belgium during 1950s and 1960s.

(ii) At the capital city of Brussels, the French speaking community was relatively rich and powerful and used to get the economic and educational benefit.

(iii) This was entirely resented by the Dutch speaking community which led to the tension between communities of Brussels.

This led to the tension more acute in Brussels between the two communities.

Answer 2

Answer: The economic inequality between the two communities led to tension in Brussels.

Explanation:

Because there were fewer Dutch speakers in Brussels than there were throughout the nation, there was more conflict there. One of the two populations spoke Dutch, the other was a French-speaking community. In Belgium, the minority French-speaking population was comparatively wealthy and influential. The Dutch-speaking community, which benefited from education and economic advancement much later, hated this. In the 1950s and 1960s, this resulted in conflicts between the Dutch- and French-speaking populations. In Brussels, the conflict between the two communities was more severe. Because the bulk of the population spoke Dutch, but a smaller proportion did so in Brussels, the capital, this was the case. Hence The primary source of conflict was the economic disparity between the Dutch- and French-speaking populations.
