| | | | | Bridgend: Encyclopedia II - Ford Motor Company - Global markets Initially, Ford models sold outside the U.S. were essentially versions of those sold on the home market, but later on, models specific to Europe were developed and sold. Attempts to globalize the model line have often failed, with Europe's Ford Mondeo selling poorly in the United States, while U.S. models such as the Ford Taurus have fared poorly in Japan and Australia, even when produced in right hand drive. The small European model Ka, a hit in its home market, did not catch on in Japan, as it was not available as an automatic. The Mondeo ...

| | | | | Bridgend: Encyclopedia II - Conwy UK Parliament constituency - Boundaries The constituency is, geographically, relatively small for its region, as it follows and tends to keep to the coast, taking in parts of two separate densely populated coastal conurbations.

It also includes the smaller coastal towns of Penmaenmawr and Llanfairfechan, as well as some sparser inland areas in ...

On August 18, 1939, in preparation for Operation Fall Weiss, the German invasion of Poland, he was appointed the Chief of Staff to Gerd von Rundstedt’s Army Group South.

| | | | | | Bridgend: Encyclopedia II - Wales - History Main article: History of Wales
Humans first inhabited what is now Wales at the end of the last Ice Age. The first documented history was during the Roman occupation of Britain. At that time the area of modern Wales was divided into many tribes, of which the Silures in the south-east and the Ordovices in the central and north-west areas were the largest and most powerful. The Romans established a string of forts across what is now southern Wales, as far west as Carmarthen (Maridunum), and mined gold at Dolaucothi in Carmarthensh ...

| | | | | Bridgend: Encyclopedia II - County borough - History When county councils were first created in 1889, it was decided that to let them have authority over large towns or cities would be impractical, and so any large incorporated place would have the right to be a county borough, and thus independent from the administrative county it would otherwise come under. Originally 10 county boroughs were proposed, but the Local Government Act 1888 as passed eventually created 61 in England, and two in Wales. (The ten in question were Birmingham, Bradford, Bristol, Hull, Leeds, Liverpool, Manchester, Newca ...
