caption_attribution_description: English: Map showing the partition of Luxembourg through the centuries. I cleaned up the original file (LuxembourgPartitionsMap_english.jpg) and saved it in Portable Network Graphics format.
context_page_description: There have been three Partitions of Luxembourg between 1659 and 1839. Together, the three partitions reduced the territory of Luxembourg from 10,700 km² to the present-day area of 2,586 km² over a period of 240 years. The remainder forms parts of modern day Belgium, France, and Germany.
  All three countries bordering Luxembourg have, at one point or another, sought the complete annexation of Luxembourg, but all such attempts have failed. Conversely, there have been historical movements to reverse Luxembourg's loss of territory, but none of these came to fruition, and Luxembourgian revanchism is only a fringe opinion today.
