In 1867, Luxembourg was declared neutral territory by Europe. In 1890, when King William III died and his daughter Queen Wilhelmina succeeded him, Luxembourg would no longer be under the Dutch ruling and Duke Adolphe of Nassau-Weilburg became Grand duke of the country. This event is seen as the independence of Luxembourg. Luxembourg is one of the most prosperous countries with an economy based on international trade and banking.
