So as a Dutchman, i'm a very serious and not sarcastic advocate of restoring the great United Kingdom of the Netherlands. However, since France never allows others to have nice things. i'm willing to strike a compromise, and solve the problems of a third country at the same time. Belgium is so super devided, poor Belgium. How about the Dutch speaking part of Belgium is re-united with the Netherlands, and France can have the French speaking part. What about Luxembourg? Just give it to Germany or something i don't care, everybody Happy xD

Aahhhh, now can you be sure it REALLY exist? Hmm? Can you prove that or disprove that people merely put it there whenever you go there? Maybe it is like a Potemkin village? And this Juncker fellow, are you sure he is even real? He seems to malfunction a lot in public appearances. remember the time he told the EU parliament how he talks to people from other planets? In fact can you prove that anything at all exist outside your head?

As an American, I am trying to get European/Luxembourg citizenship as my great-grandfather and great-grandfather was from there and immigrated to the United States and settled in Chicago.
My grandmother was born in Chicago and spoke French, German, AND Luxembourgish.
Wish me luck!

Great explanation. Having worked for JPMorgan there years back, I can safely say the reason it exists today is as a f-ck off massive tax evasion haven. French, Dutch, Belgiums, Germans and Italian's go there Monday to Friday. On the weekend the population drops by 50%.

One day people will realize that the modern borders of our european countries doesn't really match up to reality anymore. I hope that we will get a european federation with administrative regions split up by spoken language or some other kind of mechanism.

Luxembourg is heaven for people with big American SUV who smoke 4 packs of cigs a day but quite love the nature there. It is absolutely beautiful, no jokes. Shame they dont speak Dutch there, or refuse to conversate in Dutch.

Love these videos!
As someone not entirely familiar with Luxembourg's current borders, it would have been really helpful to have them outlined over the historical maps so I could tell exactly which bits to focus on!

Luxembourg was left to exists so that shady French, Belgian, Dutch, and German businesses and politicians have a more convenient place than Switzerland to stash their dirty money. Until 911 screwed it all up.

The short answer: It used to be big enough to have parts of its land taken by all of its neighbours (Arlon, Bittburg, Thionville, all used to be Luxembourg) and still have some remaining.

I'd love to see a German confederation explanation video and how Luxembourg avoided being absorbed into the north German confederation or German Empire

Like Bolivia was named after Simon Bolivia, I once thought that Luxembourg was named after Rosa Luxemburg and France was named after Anatole France

Would have been great had you gone back to the creation of the city by the Romans (their aqueducts still stand) conquered by Julius Caesar.

Regardless to say, it exists so powers that be could conduct their dirty business in the country that was recreated for that purpose only.

I saw the reenactment of the Treaty of Westphalia and it was agreed the Swedes and French would use Luxembourg for storage space.

So basically Luxembourg was gradually nibbled on and got lucky enough to have something left when Europe decided to stop nibbling.
