1182:"Stadt" is a German word from Medieval times or earlier. Stadt orginally mean a "fortified town" or the fortified parts at the middles of larger habitations - surrounded by unfortified areas. During the Middle Ages (and earlier), the inhabitants of Germany, Austria, northern Switzerland, East Prussia (no longer existing, since it belongs to Poland and Russia now), West Prussia (no longer existing because most of it went to Poland in 1945-46), Luxembourg, etc., had to be prepared for attacks from their close neighbors AND from the Roman legions, the Vikings from what is now Denmark-Norway-Sweden, the Franks from what is now Northern France - like Charlemagne's men, the Niederlanders from what is now Holland and Belgiun, and then the Russian Empire after that one got it together and overran the Ukraine, Latvia, Lithuania, and a large part of Poland. 1232:
again. Finally, in 1944-45, with the BIG help of the U.S. Army (namely Gen. Patton's 3rd Army), France got Alsace and Lorrain back permanently. France has had nuclear weapons since 1960, and H-bombs since 1966, so nobody should ever dare invade France again. France is also a member of NATO, though often a cranky member of it. What irked the Germans the most in 1919 and following that, and especially the nascent Nazi party, was that Germany had to give Poland a northern neck of land (the "Polish Corridor") to give Poland a major seaport on the Baltic Sea at or near Danzig. This divided Prussia into East Prussia and West Prussia, disconnected, and in the long run this really made 'em mad: Hitler, Hess, Goering, Goebbels, Himmler, Speer, Jodl, plus millions of Germans to vote them into power.

Turks did a really smart thing: they stayed all the way OUT of WW II except for a few months in 1945, just like Argentina, Chile, and Paraguay did. Bolivia declared war on Nazi Germany in 1943, but it did not do anything. The only South American country that sent any troops or airmen overseas during WW II was Brazil. About 900 Brazilians died in the War. The Brazilian Navy was VERY valuable in fighting the Nazi U-boats in the South Atlantic. Brazilian troops and aviators went over to Italy to fight against thew Nazi Germans there during 1944-45. This was the ONLY time that any Brazilians have gone overseas to fight in a war. (Why can't we be like that? Fight against the real NASTIES like Hitler and Tojo, but leave the others alone?)

has become completely random and subjective and is dependent whether someone would consider a place big enough to call it a city or call it a village instead. Besides that the definition is not only limited to size, but to a lot of other things as well (e.g. the presence of waterways in the city centre, the presence of medieval urban architecture, the presence of modern urban architecture instead, etc.). Because of a lack of these three things I myself sometimes find it very hard to consider the city I currently live in to be a city, even though it has city rights and a population of 150k. On the contrary I consider a village with no city rights and a population of 5,5k to be city like because of the presence of 2 of those things.
1293:"Niedermeyer" is EVEN WORSE! In old times, a "Meyer" was a peasant farmer, working his small part of land over and over, and maybe in debt all the time, like a sharecropper. He is probably pretty dumb, too. The adjective "nieder" means "low", "down", and even "dirty". The word "nieder" has the same root as the word "Netherlands". So, a "Niedermeyer" is a low, down, dirty, peasant farmer, and probably a pretty dumb one, too. Let me remind you that I am describing is a piece of fiction, and a humorous one at that. Also, from the way that he acted, Niedermeyer deserved everything that he got, and Dorfmann came out smelling really good. Niedermeyer might as well have been named "Butthead" ! 699:'Steden' (plural of 'stad'), English: cities, are those places that once have received city rights, while 'dorpen' are those place that have 'dorpsstatus' (they're officially registered as villages). Smaller places are called 'buurtschappen' (neigbourhoods) or 'gehuchten' (hamlets), depending on their status. In English 'town' had a certain (legal) definition based on facilities, while it is nowadays used to describe anything between a village and a city. In Dutch there's a word to describe bigger villages which did not have city rights, 'vlek', literally 'spot'. 200: 1518:
either a town, a village, or a city. Are these "small towns" that (judging by the literature and other media) people are always having to leave in order to find acceptance really (in UK terms) villages (or small villages)? And is this theme a realistic representation of small-town attitudes, or just an unfair media stereotype? Given that this is, as said, a major theme of American literature, I think the articles needs to discuss it in more detail (or link to somewhere that does).
807:. But in early July 2009 a bunch of interwiki links were added to the Town article, creating a massive "interwiki conflict" that disables interwiki bots to update these links. Apparently a minor edit war ensued in the first week of July 2009. Should more languages establish two separate articles, each corresponding to one of the two English articles? Can the difference between the two concepts be made any clearer? Or should the two English articles be merged into one? -- 251: 233: 191: 261: 1186:
Poland did not reemerge until 1919, when the victorious Allies of World War I breathed life into it again: and also into Czechoslovakia, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Finland, and large parts of Hungary, Romania, etc. The Russian Empire was collapsing under the pressure of having surrendered to the German Empire in 1917 AND the Bolshevik Revolution lead by Vladimir Lenin. This took until about 1923.
401:- the content you would write to disambiguate would form the summary of the different types of town articles and might as well be the text of this article. No issue with a separate article on say incorproated towns that already exists and hyperlinks to it, or even a statement to see main article but a dab page would be innappropriate. Feel free to edit and tidy but not to turn into a dab page.-- 991: 432:(Rus: Город). Only some very small towns in Russia and some other CIS and Slaic countries are called as the "Settlement of the Uran type" (Rus: "Посёлок городского типа" ПГТ (PGT)). The main difference between the Urban and Rural areas in Russia is not the population quantity but the dominate kind of employment (in Agreculture or in service and Industry). 1609:
The issue isn’t simply that the states have that power, but also that Congress for the most part does not. Many people hold the inaccurate view that whatever a state legislature may do within its state, Congress may do nationwide. We should therefore have language explaining why, notwithstanding that

In the film ANIMAL HOUSE, they chose some of the characters' names very cleverly. Take "Dorfmann".

Regensburg is a city that has practically the best collection of undamaged German architecture from before WW II. That is where I want to go visit. Also, Regensburg had a noted Messerschmidt fighter plant (producing ME-109s) on its outskirts. That plant was bombed by the USAAF in mid-1943, and then

In modern times, however, the importance of city rights has disappeared and the definition of 'stad' watered and became only to include big cities (steden), but also big villages(dorpen). The term 'vlek' has become unnecessary and is not used anymore. The application of the words 'stad' and 'dorp'

What exactly do people mean when they talk about a "small town" in such context? (It was in an attempt to find an answer that I came to this article). From the various definitions in different states, it seems that in America, "town" (without any modifier) could describe what in the UK could be
