The territory of [[Belgium]] is almost equally divided between the two people groups and their communities: the [[Flemish dialects|Dutch-speaking]] [[Flemish people|Flemings]] of [[Flanders]] and the [[Belgian French|French-speaking]] [[Walloons]] of [[Wallonia]]. This led to political unrest throughout the 19th and 20th centuries, and in the aftermath of the difficult [[2007–08 Belgian government formation]], the Belgian media envisaged a [[partition of Belgium]] as a potential solution. There is also a [[German-speaking Community of Belgium|German-speaking minority in the east]].
