Ludwig von Falkenhausen in Belgium
On 26th of August 1914, the German high command established a military administration in Belgium to run the occupation smoothly. This administration was called the General Governorate, and was led by a general governor. Moritz von Bissing occupied this position from December 1914 until his death in April 1917. After his death, the German military command had to go in search of a new governor general, and they wanted someone hard-line. They soon appointed Ludwig von Falkenhausen.
