The Rape of Belgium (4 August through September 1914 ) is a term describing a series of German war crimes in the opening months of World War I. The neutrality of Belgium had been guaranteed by the Treaty of London (1839) which had been signed by Prussia. Germany accepted Prussia's diplomatic obligations and offered additional guarantees in 1871 and at the Hague Conference in 1907. However the German Schlieffen Plan, required that Germany violate Belgium's neutrality in order to outflank the French Army, concentrated in eastern France. The German Chancellor Theobald von Bethmann Hollweg dismissed the treaty of 1839 as a "scrap of paper". German troops, afraid of Belgian guerrilla fighters, or francs-tireurs, burned homes and executed civilians throughout eastern and central Belgium, including Aarschot (156 dead), Andenne (211 dead), Tamines (383 dead) and Dinant (674 dead).
