Label

Germany's invasion of Belgium at the beginning of the First World War met with unexpected resistance, not only from the Belgian Army but also from elements of the civilian population. In a climate of mounting tension, some German soldiers over-reacted, shooting prisoners, as at the town of Dinant, and destroying buildings, such as the world-famous library at Louvain. British Prime Minister Herbert Asquith ordered an investigation into the alleged atrocities and the resulting Bryce Report of May 1915 roundly condemned the Germans. The report proved influential, shaping opinion particularly in the United States. However, after the war, many Belgian atrocity stories were disproved and found to be exaggerations made in the name of propaganda.
