Duchy of Luxembourg (Netherlands): All Data

This page is about the data available for this polity, the chronology of the events of the polity is available here.

With the Congress of Vienna of 1815 the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg was established, which was held in a personal union with the Netherlands by King William I. Unlike the Netherlands it became a member of the German Confederation. In 1839, following the turmoil of the Belgian Revolution, the purely French-speaking part of Luxembourg was ceded to Belgium and the Luxembourgish-speaking part (except the Arelerland, the area around Arlon) became what is the present state of Luxembourg. Luxembourg became independent but remained in personal union with the Netherlands until 1890.
