IIRC, the episode doesn't actually state that the battle is between the French and Dutch -- wouldn't it be more likely to be between (French-speaking) Walloons and (Dutch-speaking) Flemmings (uh, Flemish?) in Belgium? Since France and the Netherlands don't actually share a border, but Belgium has continuing problems between its ethnic groups? I know there's no in-episode evidence either way though, but France--Netherlands does seem an odd assumption to go for, whereas Belgium is pretty damn obvious.
