Produktbeschreibung

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Wallonie Libre or Free Wallonia is a small political movement in Belgium. It is believed to have been founded on June 18th, 1940 on the battlegrounds of Waterloo in the Brabant province, the place where Napoleon was defeated in 1815 by the British, Prussian and Russian armies. Wallingants, the Walloon nationalists, used this battleground in the Interbellum for the purpose of propaganda and demonstrations. Free Wallonia claims to be the eldest resistance movement against nazism in Belgium.Throughout history, the Free Wallonia movement has been known by far as the only true Wallingant organization in Belgium. It organised the so-called combat wallon, the Walloon combat, leading to the 1980 Congress where the movement began to call for complete Walloon independence. Notable moments in their history were the riots in 1949 following the Royal Question, the organization of an annual National Walloon Congress and the strikes during the wintersof 1960 and 1961, following the adoption of the Unique Law.
