Product information Once upon a time, in the heart of Europe, there existed a land known for its rich history, cultural diversity, and chocolate-covered delights. This land was none other than Belgium, a country nestled between France, Germany, the Netherlands, and Luxembourg. But beyond its picturesque landscapes and medieval architecture, Belgium boasts a fascinating story when it comes to its stamps and postal history. The tale begins in the early 19th century when Belgium was still under the rule of the Netherlands. It was during this time that the Belgian people began to yearn for independence, a desire that would eventually culminate in the Belgian Revolution of 1830. As the country fought for its freedom, it also sought to establish its own identity, including its postal system. In 1830, just months after gaining independence, Belgium issued its first postage stamps. These stamps, known as the "Epaulettes," featured a profile of King Leopold I, the country's first monarch, adorned with epaulettes, hence the name. They were issued in various denominations and colors to accommodate different postal rates. As the years went by, Belgium continued to issue stamps reflecting its evolving history and culture. One notable series was the "Medallion Series" introduced in 1849, featuring a profile of King Leopold I within an ornate medallion. This series marked a departure from the earlier designs and set a new standard for Belgian stamps. In 1865, Belgium issued its first perforated stamps, revolutionizing the way stamps were separated and affixed to envelopes. This innovation made postage stamps more accessible to the general public and further solidified Belgium's place in philatelic history. Throughout the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Belgium continued to produce stamps featuring a wide range of themes, from national symbols to famous Belgians and significant historical events. One particularly notable series was the "Railway Stamps" issued in 1930 to commemorate the centenary of Belgium's first railway line. Belgium's stamp production was not without its challenges, however. The two World Wars, in particular, had a significant impact on the country's postal service. During World War I, Belgium faced occupation by German forces, leading to disruptions in mail delivery and a scarcity of postage stamps. To cope with these challenges, the Belgian postal authorities issued provisional stamps, including overprints on existing stamps to indicate new postal rates. Similarly, World War II brought further disruptions to Belgium's postal service, as the country once again faced occupation, this time by Nazi Germany. Despite these hardships, Belgium continued to issue stamps throughout the war years, albeit under German supervision. These stamps, often featuring patriotic symbols and resistance imagery, served as symbols of hope and defiance in the face of adversity. In the post-war era, Belgium's stamp designs reflected the country's efforts to rebuild and move forward. Themes of reconstruction, peace, and European unity became prominent, mirroring Belgium's role in the formation of institutions such as the European Union. In more recent years, Belgium has continued to produce stamps that celebrate its rich cultural heritage and showcase its contributions to the global community. From commemorating famous Belgians like René Magritte and Hergé to highlighting UNESCO World Heritage sites within its borders, Belgian stamps remain a testament to the country's creativity and innovation. Today, collectors around the world treasure Belgian stamps not only for their aesthetic beauty but also for the fascinating stories they tell about this small but remarkable country in the heart of Europe. As Belgium continues to write its history, one stamp at a time, its philatelic legacy endures as a symbol of national pride and international acclaim.1995 CIA disinformation controversy CIA Kennedy assassination conspiracy theory Funkspiel Habbush letter Information Operations Roadmap Jihadunspun.com Jonestown conspiracy theories K-1000 battleship Mafkarat al Islam Media censorship and disinformation during the Gezi Park protests Mohamed Atta's alleged Prague connection Niger uranium forgeries Operation INFEKTION Operation Neptune Operation Shocker Operation Toucan Pope Pius XII and Russia Russian interference in the 2016 United States elections Seat 12 Strategy of tension Trolls from Olgino U.S. Army Field Manual 30-31B Web brigades Yellow rain Active Measures Working Group Counter Misinformation Team Countering Foreign Propaganda and Disinformation Act East StratCom Team FactCheck.org PolitiFact Snopes.com United States Information Agency Related series: Fraud • Media manipulation • Propaganda.
