We show that the strong dual X’ to an infinite-dimensional nuclear (LF)-space is homeomorphic to one of the spaces: , , , , or , where and . In particular, the Schwartz space D’ of distributions is homeomorphic to . As a by-product of the proof we deduce that each infinite-dimensional locally convex space which is a direct limit of metrizable compacta is homeomorphic either to or to . In particular, the strong dual to any metrizable infinite-dimensional Montel space is homeomorphic either to or to .
