1255: Encyclopedia II - Golden Horde - Name

The name Golden is believed to have come from the steppe color-direction system: black — north, blue — east, red — south, white — west, and yellow (or gold) — center. According to another version, the name was derived from a magnificent golden tent that Batu Khan established to mark a place of his future capital on the Volga. Although much aired in the 19th-century books, this theory is now considered apocryphal. There are no written records dated prior to 17th century (well after the destruction) that refer to the state as Golden Horde. Earlier documents allude to ...

Republican institutions replaced royal ones in Bavaria during the upheavals of November 1918. Provisional National Council Minister-President Kurt Eisner declared Bavaria to be a free state on November 7, 1918.

For most of the Weimar Republic, though, Bavaria was dominated by the relat ...
