Bolshevik Socialists and National Socialists. I don't believe one socialist camp was better over the other.... An Anglo-French fleet sailed in the waters of the Baltic during the Crimean War in mid 19th century and destroyed the Bomarsund castle in Ahvenanmaa, Finland. At that time Finland was a "Grand Duchy", a fairly independent country in the Russian Empire. Naturally those war efforts were more targeted on Russia rather than Finland. The incident is known in Finland as "Oolannin sota" (war) (Oolanti, Åland as the Swedish speaking folks call the archipelago). There is not one municipality in Sweden where the Swedish speakers have as strong a majority over other language groups as in some municipalities in Oolanti. Närpiö, Närpes in mainland Finland was the most Swedish municipality in this respect just a few years back. It isn't so anymore due to immigration of non-Swedish speaking people. Germans have been ****ed about this piece of news which knows to tell that an English family was granted compensation because their holiday was "in ruins" because the hotel they booked in was full of Krauts. Well, Germans have gotten their revenge: there is no English football team playing for the European football title in Austria and Switzerland. Oh shuddup! Surreyman |

Istanbul and Gallipoli
In article , Jack
Campin - bogus address says... feeling expressed about it. It didn't matter to Ataturk's fascist project who the enemy was. Are you saying that Atatürk was a fascist? Be be careful next time you travel to Turkey. -- Alfred Molon http://www.molon.de - Photos of Asia, Africa and Europe |
