It emphasized several military options and found that the best and most appropriate way for the German army was to pass Belgium to France. Helmuth von Moltke puts his predecessor's ideas into practice Belgium's geographic position made it the main site of World War I battles. On August 7, 1914, the German army attacked Fortrice Lake, Belgium's main gateway. Two months later, the Germans completed the occupation of all Belgian territory. At the time, the German government did not have a clear and specific occupation strategy in place in Belgium. It had several options: the full integration of Belgium; the second was the complete withdrawal; and the third option was a kind of economic union through German domination of the Belgian economy And the exploitation of the Belgian industry, either the fourth and last option was to retain the status of Belgium as an independent state as it was before the outbreak of war with the imposition of some restrictions to ensure its future loyalty to Germany. Each option was behind a certain group of influential in Germany as army commanders and politicians Industry. It is noteworthy that the Belgian people, although under the pressure of the German policy unstable and influenced by German, British and French propaganda, but retained its political and social unity despite the attempt of the Germans to break up the national unity through the use of the policy of administrative division and granting Belgians of German origin, Flemish)) set of privileges. In an attempt to exploit Belgium to the fullest extent in support of the German war effort, the Germans used their superior financial resources to formulate economic ties between the two countries, but Germany did not respect Belgium's sovereignty or neutrality. After the occupation, the forces controlling Germany were the same as Belgium.
