From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
During the interwar period between 1918 and 1940, Luxembourg faced a myriad of challenges that tested its identity and resilience as a small, sovereign state nestled among larger powers. Doubts loomed regarding its independence, particularly amidst the turbulence of global politics. The monarchy's survival was called into question, prompting profound reflections on its role in a rapidly evolving world. Economic uncertainties compounded with the aftermath of war and the onset of the Great Depression, thrusting Luxembourg into a struggle for survival. Simultaneously, the introduction of universal suffrage brought a new era of political engagement, albeit fraught with ideological conflicts and societal shifts. Against the backdrop of rising tensions fueled by Nazi Germany's expansionist ambitions, Luxembourg navigated a landscape marked by uncertainty, adaptation, and profound demographic changes.
