 After the Kingdom of Belgium gained its independence from the Netherlands in 1830, Luxembourg was partitioned in 1839, with the larger western portion of the grand duchy going to Belgium, so that the grand duchy comprised only the smaller eastern portion.The personal union between Luxembourg's throne and the Dutch throne continued until the death of William III in 1890, at which time the Dutch throne passed to his daughter Wilhelmina and the Luxembourg throne passed to Adolph of Nassau-Weilburg.The territory of the former Duchy of Luxembourg is now divided between the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, the Belgian province of Luxembourg, the German "Land" of Rhineland-Palatinate and the French departments of Ardennes, Meuse and Moselle, the latter part being referred to as since the 1659 Treaty of the Pyrenees.
