Talk:Rhenish Republic
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Rhenish Republic episode does not figure in the conciousness of most English readers. I remember (dimly) that it got a brief mention in a seminar that I attended in (approx) 1976, but what I chiefly remember from that is the apparent misuse of the word republic: it seemed / seems to me that it wasn't so much a republic as a set of aspirations born of the dismal situation in the Rhineland in 1923.
So I'm not sure there exists such a thing as an Anglo-American perspective on the subject. I've started an article based on the Wikipedia equivalents in French and German. I expect to extend it starting from (and probably for the most part ending with) my translations of these, unless someone better versed than I wants to compose a more learned article from the anglophone perspective: so I'll try and hold off revisiting it for a bit in case any specialist out there is tempted to improve on my 'kicking off....'Charles01 14:28, 26 February 2007 (UTC)
