Belgium Put the Kibosh on the Kaiser was a popular British patriotic song of the First World War. It was first recorded on 6 October 1914 by Mark Sheridan.〔(Marksheridan.org )〕 The song refers to the 1914 campaign in Belgium when the small British Expeditionary Force, along with an unexpectedly fierce Belgian defense, managed to delay the much larger German army, slowing them and wrecking the Schlieffen Plan which depended on total victory against the French to the west in a matter of weeks.〔Pegler, Martin, ''Soldiers' Songs and Slang of the Great War'', Osprey Publishing, 2014, ISBN 9781427804150, page 245.〕 By attacking Belgium, they had violated that nation's neutrality and brought the British Empire into the war because of a pledge to uphold Belgian independence. The song has the metre of Tramp! Tramp! Tramp!. ==Reception== The song had an early spike in popularity, but fell out of favor after early 1915.〔Pegler, Martin, ''Soldiers' Songs and Slang of the Great War'', Osprey Publishing, 2014, ISBN 9781427804150, page 245.〕
