History
Origins
The territory of Luxembourg was inhabited by Celtic tribes and then conquered by the Romans in the 1st century BC. During the Middle Ages, it was part of the Carolingian Empire and was populated by Franks. In 963, Count Siegfried founded the fortress of Luxembourg, marking the beginning of the independent county.
Development
In the 14th century, Luxembourg was elevated to a duchy by Emperor Charles IV, becoming a center of power under the Valois dynasty. Later, it passed into Spanish and French hands, facing numerous military conflicts but maintaining its identity. In the 19th century, it experienced an industrial revolution with the development of the steel industry and growing multiculturalism.
Modern era
In the 20th century, Luxembourg suffered occupation during the world wars but emerged as a prosperous and neutral country. It was a founding member of the European Union and today it is a global financial center and headquarters of European institutions, standing out for its political and economic integration in Europe.
