Already made. Browse the channel:)

[@janherburodo8070]

It is funny that Luxembourg and medival Lithuania both held the title of Grand Duchy, while Lithuania was one of the largest states on the continent and Luxembourg was and is one of the smallest

[@HistoryHustle]

Indeed, interesting. I'm not that well known when it comes down to the specifics of a Grand Duchy.

[@mikhailv67tv]

@@HistoryHustle The Royal hierarchy goes King, Queen, Prince, Princess, Duke and Duchess. Pretty much anyway as there are Barons and Baroness and Lords etc. A Grand Duke is usually the highest ranked noble outside of the actual Royal family. He is also the prime aristocrat in any Grand Duchy. There are many grand duchies within the remaining monarchies but much of the previous power has been given to Democratic institutions. I'm using English titles here of course. The current Duchy of Lancaster is Queen Elizabeth 2..

As a luxembourger i feel obliged to mention that in medieval times luxembourg was 4x bigger and also bohemia, brandenburg, silesia, moravia and hungary belonged to luxembourg. 🤓

The invasion of Luxembourg in WW1 almost dragt the Netherlands into the war, because the Netherlands garanted the neutrality of Luxembourg before the war.

[@HistoryHustle]

Didn't know that, thanks for the additional information!

[@c.norbertneumann4986]

If the Netherlands had entered the war, they would have been occupied by German troops, too. So they prefered not to enter which was a wise decision.

[@jamesricker3997]

If another one's entered the war they would have not for the same fate as Belgium But it also would have tied down German troops , ending the war few months early

I'm calling it now; History Hustle will have at least 15-20K subscribers by the end of this year! Great content as always, Luxembourg has always been one of the most forgotten, and overlooked states of Europe due to its size and neutrality.

Best Intro EVER!!!!!!!

[@HistoryHustle]

Thank you, Niklas.

[@gunner678]

It's weird standing on the bridge that is the boundary to three countries deep in the Ardennes forest. Members of the royal family of Luxembourg by tradition have served in the Irish Guards (part of HM Household Division) UK, indeed they have produced several commanding officers. I could share some stories about the Luxembourg Chief of the Defence Staff (90s), but it's not the place. Nice chap though. Good video about an interesting place.

[@HistoryHustle]

Thanks, glad you liked it.

Yes, Belgium and Luxembourg were once part of the Netherlands and indeed, Indonesia, Suriname and other island were part of the Dutch colonial Empire. I made a video about this. Have you seen it? It's here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nqOpmGeBa950brc

​@@HistoryHustle ok that´s intersting, cus´ I always thought that Nederlands or Niederländisch is just a "lowland"-version of the german language. For example I can perfectly understand dutch texts when reading them...

From the video it looks like your rifle is decommissioned. Is that true? Probably better off without all of the gun violence that we have in the US.

[@HistoryHustle]

Deactivated according to Dutch / European law. Can't do much violence with it. And although the bayonet looks scary, it's everything but sharp.
