Luxembourg Crisis

Years: 1867 - 1867

The Luxembourg Crisis is a diplomatic dispute and confrontation in 1867 between France and Prussia over the political status of Luxembourg.

The confrontation almost leads to war between the two parties, but is peacefully resolved by the Treaty of London.

"History never repeats itself, but the Kaleidoscopic combinations of the pictured present often seem to be constructed out of the broken fragments of antique legends."

― Mark Twain, The Gilded Age (1874)
