But the German economy was chaotic and the automobile was considered a luxurious item and charged with a 15 % extra tax. While in the country there was a lack of petroleum. To fix this, in 1919 the Benz Co. attempted a coalition through its representative Karl Jahn. But in December the DMG rejected formally the proposal.

She later recalled, "After I signed, I cried. When I studied American history as a schoolgirl and I read about those who signed the Declaration of Independence, I couldn't imagine these were real people doing something real. And there I was sitting down and signing a declaration of independence."
The following day, Israel was attacked by joint forces from Egypt, Syria, Lebanon, Transjordan and Iraq. Golda was issued Israel's first passport and went to the ...

| | | | | 1906: Encyclopedia II - John Gresham Machen - Death Much to the sadness of those who had been involved in the movements that he had led, Machen died in 1937 at the relatively young age of 56. Some commentators (notably Stonehouse) point out that Machen's "constitution" was not always strong, and that he was constantly "burdened" with his responsibilities at the time.
Machen had decided to honor some speaking engagements he had in North Dakota in December, 1936, but developed pleurisy in the exceptionally cold weather there. After Christmas, he was hospitalized for pneumonia and died on ...

In 1956, she became Foreign Minister under Prime Minister David Ben-Gurion. Ben-Gurion asked Golda to change her name to a Hebrew name. She chose Meir, meaning "to burn brightly".
In the early 1960s she was diagnosed with lymphoma, which she kept hidden because she thought others might deem her unfit for service. She resigned from the Cabinet in 1965, citing illness and exhaustion of her years of service. At first, she returned to her modest life. But she was soon called back into service. She served as Secretary Ge ...

| | | | | 1906: Encyclopedia II - Golda Meir - Portrayals Golda Meir's story has been the subject of many fictionalized portrayals over the years. She has been portrayed by actresses as diverse as the late Swede Ingrid Bergman and the Australian Judy Davis on television, and the Jewish-American Tovah Feldshuh on Broadway. The Broadway show about her was mildly controversial in that it suggested she gave serious consideration to launching a first-strike nuclear attack during the Yom Kippur War.
Most recently, she was played by actress Lynn Cohen ...

Løgting - The Viking Age.
The Faroese ting or assembly was originally a so-called alting, with both legislative and judicial authority. On the other hand, there was no executive authority in the country. The Faroese society was a family society (eitt ættarsamfelag), where the families saw to it that the judgements and resolutions of the Løgting were put into practice.
There is a certain amount of evidence that the Faroes were already colonised as early as 650. The first inhabitants, who we ...

| | | | | 1906: Encyclopedia II - Russian history 1892-1920 - Radical revolutionary parties During the 1890s, Russia's industrial development led to a significant increase in the size of the urban bourgeoisie and the working class, setting the stage for a more dynamic political atmosphere and the development of radical parties. Because the state and foreigners owned much of Russia's industry, the working class was comparatively stronger and the bourgeoisie comparatively weaker than in the West. The working class and peasants were the first to establish political parties because the nobility and the wealthy bourgeoisie were politica ...

| | | | | 1906: Encyclopedia II - Russian history 1892-1920 - Imperialism in Asia and the Russo-Japanese War At the turn of the century, Russia gained room to maneuver in Asia because of its alliance with France and the growing rivalry between Britain and Germany. Tsar Nicholas failed to orchestrate a coherent Far Eastern policy because of ministerial conflicts, however. Russia's uncoordinated and aggressive moves in the region ultimately led to the Russo-Japanese War (1904-1905).
By 1895 Germany was competing with France for Russia's favor, and British statesmen hoped to negotiate with the Russians to demarcate spheres of influence in Asia. ...

| | | | | 1906: Encyclopedia II - Russian history 1892-1920 - Accelerated industrialization In the late 19th Century, Russia's domestic backwardness and vulnerability in foreign affairs reached crisis proportions. At home a famine claimed a half-million lives in 1891, and activities by Japan and China near Russia's borders were perceived as threats from abroad. In reaction, the regime was forced to adopt the ambitious but costly economic programs of Sergey Witte, the country's strong-willed minister of finance. Witte championed foreign loans, conversion to the gold standard, heavy taxation of the peasantry, accelerated development ...

Ernest Satow is probably best known as the author of the fascinating A Diplomat in Japan which describes the years 1862-1869 when Japan was changing from rule by the Tokugawa shogunate to the restoration of Imperial rule.

This political coup had the desired short-term result of restoring order. New elections in the fall returned a more conservative Third Duma, which Octobrists dominated. Even this Duma quarreled with the government over a variety of issues, however, including the composition of the naval staff, the autonomous status of Finland, the introd ...

Before Home Rule the Faroese Parliament had only been a consultative body, whereas now the Faroese Parliament has legislative power within all the branches taken over from the Danish Parliament (Det danske Folketing).

Russian forces were inferior to Germany's in every respect except numbers. In most engagements, the larger Russian armies defeated the Austro-Hungarians but suffered reverses against German forces.
