History Points, 25th August: Rape of Belgium by Nazi Forces

World War 1 destroyed too many countries. On August 25, 1914 Nazi forces attacked on Belgium town named Louvain and completely destroyed it. Throughout the beginning of the war, the German army engaged in numerous atrocities against the civilian population of Belgium, including the destruction of civilian property; 6,000 Belgians were killed, and 17,700 died during expulsion, deportation, imprisonment, or a death sentence by court. 25,000 homes and other buildings in 837 communities were destroyed in 1914 alone, and 1.5 million Belgians (20% of the entire population) fled from the invading German army.
