L'Indépendance Belge

L'Indépendance Belge (1843—1940), initially published as L'Indépendant (1831—1843), was a politically liberal newspaper of record published in Brussels, Belgium.[1] The first issue appeared on 6 February 1831, the last on 13 May 1940. The title changed in 1843, but issues were numbered through continuously. Towards the end of the 19th century the newspaper ran into financial difficulties but was saved from bankruptcy by Ernest Solvay. During the First World War the newspaper moved its offices in turn to Ghent, Ostend, Folkestone, and finally London, returning to Brussels at the conclusion of the conflict.
