From the end of the middle Ages until the seventeenth century, it was a prosperous centre of commerce and culture. Belgium, at that time called the Southern Netherlands, was the site of many battles of old between the European powers, and has been dubbed the battlefield or cockpit of Europe, more recently, Belgium was a founding member of the European Union, hosting its headquarters, as well as others like the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, NATO.
