The Western Scheldt, the gateway to the port of Antwerp, played an essential role during World War II.

In 1930, when Belgium celebrated its centenary, Antwerp and Liège staged a world exhibition. Dozens of countries settled there and built pavilions to show their best sides, including Sweden.

On the eve of World War I, the World Exposition was organized in the Belgian city of Ghent.
