Similarly interesting and close to the path/border in the article is the history of the neutral territory called "Neutral-Moresnet" which was incorporated into Belgium in 1944: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neutral_Moresnet https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neutral_Moresnet
Another odd occurence I only learned about recently in the area around here are the American Military Cemeteries in Belgium and the Netherlands which are administered by the American Battle Monuments Commission (ABMC). Visiting one feels like being on a patch of US soil in the middle of the Belgian countryside (signs, road-markings, the way the gardens are kept, etc), quite surreal: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henri-Chapelle_American_Cemetery_and_Memorial https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henri-Chapelle_American_Cemete...
