Detailed Solution

The special problem of Brussels was that the majority Dutch speakers were only a minority in the capital.
The Belgian capital, Brussels, presented a unique problem as the Dutch-speaking community was only a minority there with 20 percent of people, but was a majority in the whole country. Eighty percent of people spoke French there. Several districts of Belgium are home to speakers of the Dutch, French, and German languages, making Belgium a linguistically varied nation. The French, a minority in the country, reaped the benefits of economic prosperity and were comparatively wealthy and influential. The majority Dutch-speaking population of the nation benefited from economic growth considerably later, forming a divide between the two communities.
