Final answer:

Belgium's neutrality was compromised due to Germany's invasion, leading to British involvement in WWI.


Explanation:

Belgium was unable to maintain neutrality during Germany's attack on France in WWI because Germany had to invade Belgium to reach northern France, violating Belgian neutrality. This act outraged Great Britain, leading to Britain declaring war on Germany. Unlike Belgium, the Netherlands remained neutral as Germany did not require invading it to access France.
