I thought Luxembourg was owned by the Austrian Habsburgs for a few decades (1700/1714-1790s) before Napoleon occupied it. Then the Congress of Vienna gave the duchy to William I of the Netherlands which also included the Austrian Netherlands in 1814-15. When that part of the Netherlands rebelled and won its independence (different religion and culture) in 1830, the Dutch king insisted that Luxembourg was his dynastic property. By doing so, his dynasty continued to rule Luxembourg until 1890 when the exiled Duke of Nassau inherited Luxembourg. Ironically, the second grand duke pf this house only had daughters but his two eldest daughters became the next rulers. That is how Luxembourg became independent.

Thanks anyway. I did not get how the borders were laid, it seems that there was a period when Lux had a larger extent, and even some enclaves (or "exclaves"). The castle is probably geo-political a main factor. There is a video showing some old border-conflict zones, including a railway stretch which was either German or Luxembourgian. Such areas of conflict show on one hand that people had to cooperate, on the other hand that old borderlines were completely unpractical. An area of totally screwed *old* borderlines between smaller units can be found many places in Germany and Scandinavia. One really weird is the Holstein region before 1864 (when Bismarck took possession of that area, being inhabited by mostly germanspeaking).

" why is Luxembourg a country?" Funny, germany had the exact same question twice.......

Hi, please let us know how do you make videos? Which software do you use. Thanks

In the early parts, I'm somewhat missing the markings of the territory (or at least the places that are mentioned, like the monastery or the castle) on the map.

Just here to add that Luxembourg is one of the founding nations of the EU! Nice video though, enjoyed it:)

You did the dutch province of limburg wrong on your map. It was given to the netherlands after the napoleonic wars. And was shortly belgian during the belgian revolt. But it was retaken by the dutch army. It was part of the german confederation just like luxemburg untill 1867. After that it was full dutch again. For the rest Amazing video i loved it.

It wasn't retaken by the Dutch army, the Dutch lost that battle and were forced to accept it.

Very good video. But perhaps making clear what the the holy roman empire was, could help identify what Luxembourg is. Basically envision a proto-europe. Where you have 50+ little and bigger states/countries. Some as big as just a city (city states) and other huge (like Austria). Each region with their own history. Forming little melting pots of cultures that shifted constantly due to those counties (sub divisions in the country) being swapped due to constant internal wars inside the holy roman empire. With the unification into a real German empire, one language was pushed. But Luxembourg, due to its special circumstances, kept its local developed dialect. Again dialects are something that is very very common in the region. In Belgium for example, you have hundreds of dialects, each with their own grammar, unique words and pronunciation. This is not taught at schools, so it is slowly disappearing. But Luxembourg managed to keep hold of it's unique local developed melting-pot culture.

How can the Netherlands remain part of the Holy Roman Empire after 1581 or certainly 1648 according to the map in the video, which remains visible until Napoleon’s conquest of the country? This is incorrect.

all that is irrelevant, because Louis/Lois is from 'Ludwig' anyway (like the Bavaran king who built 'Neuschwanstein' or many others). Also Henry is from the Germanic Hendrick/Heinrich. There was also no Charlemagne, his name was Karl/Carl (or latinized Karolus Magnus which is why also in Spanish, Italian its still refering to CARLo Magno - same is true for all Slavic languages, all Germanic languages expect the English who were influenced by the French taking Charles (which again, is just a regional localized later name of Karl/Carl) ....

Luxembourg is a country because we the people want it to be one. I think the part that is now "la Province du Luxembourg Belge" should be returned to Luxembourg.

Short answer is around 6:32-7:42. Belgium gains independence from the Netherlands, both Belgium and the Netherlands claim the territory, the great powers of Europe intervene and establish it as an autonomous country (well, what's left after another partition).

Haha the conclusion is hilarious "because they wanted too". But I agree 🤣 But you oversimplified the 20th century, especially post WW2 time, which is really important for the country and it's identity.

The real reason is that the Duke of Luxemburg is one of the richest and thus powerful members of the ancient bloodlines of the Old World Order.

Luxembourg shows up in my DNA. That would explain why my kraut ancestors bailed and settled in Illinois (helping to found the city of Aurora, interestingly) in the 1800s.

Yeah loads of Luxembourgers immigrated to the US in the late 1800s but I’m surprised you got a specific result for that. Western Europeans (excluding the Iberian peninsula) tend to all have similar DNA bc there are no major lands marks that kept the different populations from mingling.

What is today strange that one of Belgium's provinces is called Luxembourg which is bigger than the country Luxembourg.
