AI explanation
Belgium earned the nickname 'The Cockpit of Europe' because its central location made it the recurring battleground for major European conflicts over centuries, including battles fought at Waterloo and during both World Wars. Bucharest, Aberdeen, and Belgrade don't carry this historical nickname tied to being a perennial site of European warfare.
