Solution

The correct option is C X: London
Y: Belgium
According to the 1839 Treaty of London or the First Treaty of London, Belgium was declared as a neutral state, and Britain was committed to protecting Belgium’s neutrality.

During WWI, Germany attacked Belgium when it denied free passage for the German army on its way to attack France. Thus, Britain was forced to join WW I to preserve Belgian neutrality and its own political interests.
