>>543918695>Walloons (northern French)The idea that Belgium is a fake nation, half is French and half is Dutch, is a French psy-op.Im relatity "Belgian" as an ethnic identity dates back to the Iron Age Belgae, modern Belgians are genetically homogeneous and share almost entirely continuity with the Belgae.The French on the other hand are a completely made up civic amalgamation of distinct ethnic groups larping as a "Franks" (Who are really the Dutch).Most of France clusters with Spain, Corsica and Marseille cluster with Italy, Brittany clusters with Britons, Normandy with North Sea Germanics, Alsace-Lorraine with Germany and all the formerly Belgae areas cluster with, you guessed it, Belgium.
