Treaty of London 1839 - Significance of the Treaty
Belgium's de facto independence had been established through nine years of intermittent fighting, the Belgian Revolution. The signatories of the treaty (the United Kingdom, Austria, France, Prussia, Russia, and the Netherlands) now officially recognized the independent Kingdom of Belgium, and (at the United Kingdom's insistence) agreed to its neutrality.
The treaty was an important document, especially in its role in bringing about World War I. When the Germans invaded Belgium in August 1914 in violation of the Treaty, the British declared war on August 4. Informed by the British ambassador that Britain would go to war with Germany over the latter's violation of Belgium neutrality, German Chancellor Theobald von Bethmann-Hollweg infamously exclaimed in frustration that he could not believe that Britain and Germany would be going to war over a mere "scrap of paper."
