Why does the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg exist?
States like Luxembourg were the norm in Europe for hundreds of years but come the French Revolution and the advent of industrialization, tiny monarchical fiefdoms quickly fell out of fashion.
But Luxembourg survived to the present day - outlasting expansionists from all directions. Napoleonic France, the United Netherlands, revolutionary Belgium, and the Kingdom of Prussia all failed to incorporate Luxembourg in the long term. Defying the trends of their time, Luxembourgers asserted their own identity.

    • ​​@imwinningthisone7613 Well, and Belgium, South Netherlands, only exists because the great powers wanted it so, else Benelux was still the Netherlands. It is all about perspective. The big powers had a tactic that none of the other big powers had to become stronger, so the smaller nations were their toys. That is also why Europe has quite some countries and small countries too.

    @ommsterlitz1805@ommsterlitz18053 ай бұрын

    • 98% of people can speak French cause we learn it in school, the only reason a higher percentage of people speak French is because of immigration into Luxembourg, and whilst French is used as the lingua franca in some communes, English is used in others, yet most still function with Luxembourgish at the helm.

    • Well yes, however the assumption that people who live there are predominently french spesking is wrong. This has to do with the fact people commute to work here and get by with only french. This inflates numbers of french speakers. Additionally everyone who went to school in luxembourg understands french, whereas commuters don't understand luxembourgish most of the time. Is french common? yes is it the language of the people? NO
