Detailed Solution

Belgium has a complicated ethnic composition because it has borders with France and the Netherlands. Belgium also shares its border with Luxembourg and Germany. Due to its geographical location, it has a complicated ethnic composition. The country is divided into two regions - Wallonia and the Flemish region. The majority reside in the Flemish region and speak Dutch. The minority resides in the Wallonia region and speaks French. In the capital city, Brussels, the majority speaks French, and the minority speaks Dutch. The power and wealth concentrated in the capital were thus in the hands of the otherwise minority French-speaking community in the 1960s. This created resentment among the Dutch-speaking majority.
