belgium's biggest mistake? well there are numerous things... but i'll shut up about the corruption and so on, everybody knows it and who cares anyway...

I'd say our biggest mistake wasn't made by ourselves! The surrounding countries such as the Prussians, English, Dutch and French put the Flemish together with the Walloons in 1830... as to why I don't know cos we don't even speak the same language and all, and our economies were based on totally different things (the Walloons with their coal and metal industry...Flanders and cloths, trading and so on...it resulted in oppression of the Flemish...now however it's the other way around

but well life goes on and we're one country now, and i don't mind at all

Scotland: Easily the Scottish attempt to colonise Panama. Despite being an inspired early attempt at a panama canal type system (mules were to be used to ferry goods from the Atlantic to the Pacific), disease and stupidity (taking wool to trade with the natives) finished off the colony, bankrupting an already impoverished country. Roll on the Act of Union a few years later.

Britain: The Somme. Almost a million lives pissed away (not counting the huge German casualties) for a few miles of worthless mud. The Germans were pretty safe from the Allied bombardment with their superior trenches, and we used the wrong kind of shells anyway. The men were ordered to walk (not run) and were ripped apart by the Germans. To add insult to injury, Britains secret weapon, the tank, was used to try and turn the tide, but their numbers were too few, and the element of surprise was lost. Truly lions led by donkeys.

The top worst mistakes the United States has made in my opinion:

1) having to have over 600,000 Americans kill each other as the method to resolve the issue of slavery

2) the Nazi-like program of eugenics in the United States in the 1950's

3) the mass property theft and desert relocation of loyal Japanese American citizens during World War II

4) the economic imperial policies of the United States over Latin American countries from the 1890's, through the 1930's

5) the imposition of poverty and deprivation of Native American tribes in desolate reservations since the late 19th century

You wanted a more compassionate extermination of the red plauge, is that it? Jeez, if someone said something like that about the jews he´d be kicked of the board faster than he could say Nazi...

Several have already said it, but the answer is obvious.

Failure to support ben Franklin when he said that the new nation MUST be free of the evil of human slavery.

We are haunted to this day by that error.

Electing Hitler.
More recently the thing which most annoys me is all the stuff of "Besitzstand wahren" (conserving possessions) promoted mostly by the Worker's Unions, but the entire people suffers from this sickness. Result: Taking the necessary from the poor instead of luxury of the wealthy (= most who have a job).

What's the biggest mistake ever done by my country? Probably dropping atomic weaponry on Hiroshima and Nagasaki instead of dropping one atomic bomb into Tokyo Bay.

It's been hypothesized that if the US dropped "The Bomb" into Tokyo Bay instead of Hiroshima, the Japanese military would have seen the power of the US harnessing the "power of the sun" and surrendered.

Sorry.....I have a personal ties to these bombings.
