The territories of East Germany were settled by Germanic peoples during the last few centuries BC. During the post-Roman migration period, many of these populations left for other lands, and Slavic Wends settled in their wake. German imperial rulers reconquered the area during the Middle Ages. The newly acquired land was organised in margravates, German feudal states on the land of Slavs. Consequent waves of German settlements, which in subsequent cent ...

| | | | | Louis de Funès: Encyclopedia II - Citroën 2CV - 2CV in movies The 2CV made several appearances in Louis de Funès's movies. In the opening scene of Le Corniaud a 2CV driven by Bourvil is totally destroyed in a collision with a Rolls-Royce driven by Louis de Funès.
Les Amants (The Lovers)(1958)starring Jeanne Moreau, probably has more 2CV scenes than any other film. Some of the dialogue actually takes place in a 2CV whilst being driven. The film ends with the lovers escaping in a 2CV.
In Zazie dans le métro (1960)with Catherine Demongeot and Philippe Noiret, many 2CVs can be seen in a traffic jam in the ...

| | | | | Louis de Funès: Encyclopedia II - Citroën 2CV - Construction The body was constructed of a dual H-frame chassis, an airplane-style tube framework, and a very thin steel shell. It was powered by a flat-twin air-cooled engine designed by Walter Becchia, with a nod to the classic 'boxer' BMW motorcycle engine (It's reported that Becchia dismantled the engine of the BMW motorcycle of one of his friends before designing the 2CV engine). (The flat-2 engine and thin steel body make a peculiar noise that can't be compared to anything, except perhaps a Piper J-3 at startup.) Front wheel drive made the car easy ...

| | | | | Louis de Funès: Encyclopedia II - Citroën 2CV - Rebirth? The company Sorevie of Lodève is building 2CVs today. The cars are built from scratch using mostly new parts. But as a 2CV doesn't comply with modern regulations for new cars, the cars are sold as second-hand cars using chassis and engine number from old 2CVs.
The 2CV-Méhari Club Cassis also recondition 2CVs. Recently they entered a 2CV prototype in the Paris-Dakar Rally; this was a twin engine car (like the 2CV S ...

| | | | | Louis de Funès: Encyclopedia II - Demographics of France - Education Main article: Education in France
Education is free, beginning at age 2, and mandatory between ages 6 and 16, even though reforms have been proposed by right-wing politicians (among whom Nicolas Sarkozy and Jacques Chirac) following the 2005 riots. Left-wing parties have argued against them, on behalf of everyone's right to the same basic education. The public education system is highly centralized. Private primary and secondary education is primarily Roman Catholic; however, most French people go to public schools, which have the advantages of being free and are usuall ...

| | | | | Louis de Funès: Encyclopedia II - Demographics of France - Immigration
Demographics of France - Before World War II.
In the twentieth century, France exhibited a high rate of immigration. Immigration was particularly high in the 1920s and 1930s. France was the European country which suffered the most from World War I, with respect to the size of its population, losing 1.4 million young men out of a total population of 40 million. France was also at the time the European country with the lowest fertility rate, which meant that the country had a very hard time recovering from the heav ...

East Germany - In General.
The equivalent of the Communist Party in East Germany was the Sozialistische Einheitspartei Deutschlands (Socialist Unity Party of Germany, SED), which along with other parties, was part of the National Front of Democratic Germany. It was created in 1946 through the merger of the Communist Party of Germany (KPD) and the Social Democratic Party of Germany (SPD) in the Soviet controlled zone. Following reunification, the SED was renamed ...
