  3. We might have not gone to war against them but Belgium is the scene of some of our moat historic battles, i.e. Waterloo, Battle of the Bulge, Ypres.

  5. And also the reason we entered World War I (for anyone who doesn't know who might be reading this: Belgium was neutral and the UK said it wouldn't attack unless Belgium was attacked. The German Empire thought it would be a great idea to steamroll Belgium when they were denied military access so they could attack France. Cue a war of pure attrition beginning.).

    I actually forgot about all of these battles... oops.

  9. I need help. I am going to be ordering some Jelly Babies from Amazon (takes 2 months to get them which sucks) but I also want to order some other sweets. Any suggestions?
  10. Americans of European descent haven't been dominated by the English for a long time. Waves of immigration in the 1800's and 1900's substantially changed that makeup relative to the country at the time of its founding. According to the most recent U.S. Census in 2010 the largest self-identified European ancestry groups are as follows:

    1. German 49,206,934
    2. Irish 35,284,752
    3. English 26,923,091
    4. Italian 17,558,598
    5. Polish 9,739,653
    6. French 9,136,092
    7. Scottish 5,706,263
    8. Scotch-Irish 5,102,858
    9. Dutch 4,810,511
    10. Norwegian 4,557,539

  11. Anything from Cadbury. I recommend the Twirl and Creme eggs but all of them are amazing. Also you need to get Jelly tots, it's a family thing for me and they're amazing so.

  13. My sister was near London a couple of weeks ago and got a cup of tea and two biscuits as breakfast... but that was probably the host family's fault. :p
