When it was decided to be independent after Napoleon I believe it was also decided to break down all fortifications to make it less threatening in future conflicts.

    • @@GholamFareed I am well aware of the history of South Africa. The first Dutch cape colony was founded in 1652, 4 years after the end of the 80-years war. When the Netherlands was an independent country. The Dutch colonies in South Africa existed until 1795, when the English took over. There were a few independent countries that were governed by former Dutch Boers, but they were not part of the Dutch Empire. So your point is still wrong, no Dutch colonies before the Dutch independence war.

  • 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).

  • 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.

    • 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.

    • In the 1960s all European countries were decolonizasing in Africa except Portugal. Instead Portugal tried to hold onto Angola and Mozambique along with it's other minor colonies. Which was a mistake. Soon the locals of the colonies got so angry that they began to rebel forcing portugal to send many troops to fight them. However portugal had a small population so it had to hire mercenaries as well. After conscripting practically everyone the last few people who didn't want to be conscripted fled to us. Portugal used to be quite a rich country until then when it was spending way to much on it's military which led to it's collapse in 1974. By then we had dozens of Portuguese refugees many for political reasons and religious reasons. But some for economic reasons. Today the portuguese here tend to do low paid jobs such as toilet cleaning etc.
