From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The 1919 Luxembourgian referendum was a two-question referendum held across Luxembourg on 28 September 1919. The first question concerned Luxembourg's constitutional monarchy, and whether it should be continued or whether either it, the reigning House of Nassau-Weilburg, or the reigning Grand Duchess Charlotte should be replaced. The second question asked whether Luxembourg should go into economic and monetary union with France or Belgium.
