| | First Constitutional Convention of West Virginia |
| | I supposed when I first looked into this report - for I did not examine it very particularly - that some five or six counties were to be left without representation; but I find that is not the case. | | | With a ratio of twenty thousand you will find counties with fifteen thousand entitled to a member, whereas a county with 50,000 or 40,000 would have but two. | | | If you will look at the seventh section reported by the Legislative Committee, in which this thing is carried into practical operation, you will see that after the county of Ohio and the seven counties of Harrison, Kanawha, Marion, Marshall, Monongalia and Preston, and the third delegate district, the apportionment is strictly according to principle. |

| | Hungary passed a series of anti-Semitic laws throughout the 1920s and thirties, and some massacres of Jews by Hungarian forces took place in the early part of the Second World War, but Hungary initially resisted large scale deportation of its Jewish population. | | | Ultimately, over 533,000 Jews in Hungary were killed during the Holocaust, as well as several tens of thousands of Roma. | | | From the 1960s on to the late 1980s Hungary was sometimes satirically called the "the happiest barrack" within the Eastern bloc, under the rule of late controversial communist leader János Kádár, who exercised autocratic rule during this period. |

| | CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Hungary |
| | Exceedingly severe laws were passed by the Hungarian Diets of 1523 and 1525 against Lutherans; in 1523 the penalty of death and loss of property was enacted, and in 1525 the Diet condemned Lutherans to death at the stake. | | | A large number of the conspirators were Protestant; thus it came about that the civil war that broke out after the discovery of the conspiracy soon became a religious war. | | | Rudolf of Hapsburg endeavoured to wrest Hungary from Andrew for his son Albrecht, and the grandson of Stephen V, Charles Martell of Naples, also claimed it. |

| | In May 2003, Ukraine and Moldova reached an agreement under which Ukraine would no longer recognize Moldova's obsolete customs stamps, which were still being used by the Transnistrians; in reality, however, the Moldovans exercise little control over their border with Ukraine and illegal trade remains an issue in the region. | | | More information about Moldova can be found at the official (Romanian and Russian language) Government of Moldova website at www.moldova.md. | | | However, journalists and civil society representatives, who claimed the process was nontransparent and meant to stack the new TRM staff with those favorable to the government, met this move with large protests. |

| | Contemporary Review: Moldova: independence, unification, disintegration? |
| | In addition to the mass deportation of ethnic Romanians and the influx of ethnic Slavs into the republic, a major element of this effort was the stress on the existence of a 'Moldovan' language and ethnicity separate from Romanian. | | | The leaders of the Front hoped to engender a renaissance of Romanian language and culture, using the vocabulary of glasnost and perestroika to unseat the local Communist elite. | | | In the wake of the August coup, Moldova followed the lead of other Soviet republics and declared full independence from the USSR on 27 August 1991. |

| | The current ethnic mix of the population of Latvia is largely the result of massive immigration during the years of the Soviet occupation, which resulted in a decline of the share of ethnic Latvians from 77% (1,467,035) in 1935 to 52% (1,387,757) in 1989. | | | There are also Jews (9883 in 2005) in Latvia who are now mainly a remainder from the Soviet Union, as during World War II the Jewish Community (according to the last official census in 1935 there were 93,479 Jews in the country, or approximately 5% of the total population) was annihilated. | | | Known originally as Livonia, the area that now constitutes Latvia was under the influence of the German Sword Brethren (Schwertbrüder) from the 13th century onward until the 16th century, when the institution of Livonia was terminated and sold by the local aristocracy to Poland. |
