@RiverNotch and @Achebe - Thanks for the comments and approval of the form... without which, this would just be some kind of historian's aphorism.
To give background (without explaining!) Belgian neutrality fuflilled its purpose (for example, in 1870) until the German Empire felt it had to be violated in 1914 to win quickly. Crack or remove the keystone and... we say it "falls apart," the Germans (who should have known better) say "falls together."
