There have been several military occupations of Luxembourg through the ages. Amongst them have been:
- The French occupation of Luxembourg during the Franco-Spanish War . This led to the first Partition of Luxembourg , with the loss of Thionville , under the Treaty of the Pyrenees .
- The French occupation of Luxembourg before and during the War of the Grand Alliance (1684–1697).
- The Prussian occupation of Luxembourg from 1815 until 1867. Under the 1815 Treaty of Paris , which ended the Napoleonic Wars , the fortress of Luxembourg City came under the control of the German Confederation . Thus, Luxembourg was occupied by Prussian soldiers until the 1867 Treaty of London ordered an end to the occupation and the demolition of the fortifications.
- The German occupation of Luxembourg in World War I (1914–1918).
- The German occupation of Luxembourg in World War II (1940–1944).
