It is without a doubt that in the mid 18th century, Britain would have helped defend Belgium from any invasion force, including the French becuase of the Treaty of London. This was becuase Belgium was one of the busiest routes for Britain to transport supplies and trade into mainland Europe. However, in the later stages of the 18th century, Britain would not have dared to attack France, mainly becuase of the 1,000,000 Prussian force that was invading the western part of Europe. Britain would not have wanted to have taken sides at that time becuase her army was too small to contend against the Prussian force and if it joined the French, then it would have lost. As a result, when the Prussians did attack Belgium,Gladstone, the Prime Minister at that time, resorted to diplomatic means to fend off the Prussian invasion force and therefore saved Britain from active military contribution to the Franco-Prussian War. In the 20th century, Britain wouldn't have invaded France because France, Britain and Russia had signed a Treaty declaring that they will not fight one another. But France would not have invaded Belgium becuase it was acting as a small buffer zone against the German Army, which was by this stage becoming quite a threat. By attacking Belgium therefore, France would have weakened herself against an almost inevitable German invasion. As it so happened, the Belgians did a grand job in slowing the advance of the German Army in 1914, at the outbreak of WW1 and the Schlieffen Plan. So in the mid 18th century, Britain probably would have attacked France, especially as the Napoleonic War was just 3 or decades before, but in the late 19th century, it wouldn't because it was just too weak. In the 20th century, it wouldn't have as well beucase of a signed Treaty. |
