Geschicht (History)[edit | edit source]

In 1867, the Treaty of London reaffirms Luxembourg's neutrality and grants it full independence from the Netherlands. During World War I, Luxembourg remains neutral but is occupied by German forces. In World War II, Luxembourg is again occupied by German forces. Resistance movements emerge, and the country is liberated by Allied forces in 1944-1945.

After the wars, Luxembourg becomes a founding member of NATO in 1949. Luxembourg is also one of the six founding members of the European Economic Community, precursor to the European Union. The Schengen Agreement, which gradually eliminates border controls between participating countries, is signed in Luxembourg. In 1999, Luxembourg adopts the Euro as his official currency.
