What? You got that wrong pal. My country existed long before World War 1, it was created at the time of Napoleon and put together by the English and the French.

This. Belgium is anyway one of the least wrong things made after Napoleon's defeat, what they did elsewhere, like in Italy, caused over one hundred years of wars after. Artificial and badly put together states created after WWI are not Belgium, but, most notably, ex-Yugoslavia and Iraq. Artificial borders made only to balance French and British powers plagued the vast majority of former Ottoman Empire and former German colonies too. The bloodiest consequences happened first in Yugoslavia, since WWII, and later in Iraq, Middle East in general and Congo too.
Edit: PS What happened in Armenia and Kurdistan, though, wasn't caused by the splitting of former Ottoman Empire, but by not enforcing two of the very few just decisions made doing it, and letting instead Turkey take back what should have become free and independent.
