Could someone please check copyright on this? Isis, I know you do a lot of this, so perhaps you know. I remember you said that it was your work if you prepareed the image -- is that an electronic thing?
The reason I'm asking is that I used a lot of different maps in my dissertation. The was US copyright law now stands, I would not have been able to use this map (unless it's now in PD) without express permission. I could have used it to create a new map, but it could not have been even a doctored photocopy. Anybody know? JHK
The Treaty of Verdun is commonly and traditionally considered as having far-reaching consequences for the disunity of territories that made up the Middle Kingdom, and it being " carried out without any regard to linguistic and cultural continuities" as causing the future French-German enmity, but both can be contributed more to the disintegration of the Holy Roman Empire than to the treaty: the weakening of the Empire caused the same effect throughout its territory, not just the former Middle Francia, and the two "Verdun Kingdoms" perceived as linguistically/culturally homogenous were also in fact heterogeneous (Flanders and Occitania/Slavic parts). Even the disunity of the Italian Peninsula was more of a result of foreign rule (German king) and the South was not a part of the Middle Kingdom anyway. The effects of the treaty were short-lived as other treaties soon superseded it and their effects (most of the Middle Kingdom belonging to the Empire) lasted far longer.
I think the "Legacy" section should be rewritten to reflect this. Zhmr (talk) 12:32, 18 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
