This map shows the boundaries and major cities of the Kingdom of Belgium at the time it entered the First World War in 1914.

Note that since publishing this map we have been made aware of an error in the map - the small eastern Cantons gained by Belgium from Germany in 1919 are mistakenly shown as being part of Belgium in 1914. See Euphen Malmedy (Wikipedia).
