Centenary of the Referendum from 1919

On the 28th September 1919, the people of Luxembourg could vote on the country’s economic and political orientation in a double referendum. A total of 77.8% of Luxembourgers advocated that Grand Duchess Charlotte should rule as a monarch, thereby confirming the country’s constitutional monarchy.

From an economic point of view, after France's chosen partner rejected Luxembourg's offer of economic union, an agreement was concluded with Belgium on 25 July 1921.
