1. The different national approaches as demonstrated by the sources
Belgium was a democratic country in that period and remains democratic nowadays.
That’s why numerous newspapers of different trends were accessible during that period.
As demonstrated by the sources, the sympathy of the Belgian population goes to Poland.
But the official neutrality of Belgium (inherited from the time of its independence in 1830) impedes the press to freely express its opinion. In the newspapers, there are only short news, communiqués from general staffs, relation of events, without any comment nor editorial. However this neutrality appears variously in the different newspaper articles.
