Oh wait its because of American soldiers? Huh TIL.

During World War I (1914-1918), American soldiers who fought in Belgium were introduced to fries, of course. At that time, the official language in the Belgian army was French, so the American soldiers — unaware of 3 centuries of Belgian culinary tradition — mistakenly called the fried potatoes ‘French fries’…
Now you know better: fries are Belgian. That’s settled, right?
America: "So... uh... do we invade Belgium???"

Belgium is hardly a country tho. An alibi country basically. They have no own identity, culture, folks, not even an own language.
The country probably exists by accident bc one or more of its neighbors forgot to draw some lines back in the day
