Talk:History of the Alps

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

ACK! What a mouthful! Is this an original article, or copied from somewhere? Can we cut the title down to something manageable? -- Zoe

It appears to have been a section subtitle of the Alps article taken from the 1911 Brittanica text, which was later broken out from that overlong page. --Brion

Ah, a Britannicoid. Figures. Try googling for "Where the St Gotthard train now thunders". DS 21:04, 31 May 2004 (UTC)

I have updated the paragraph Eastern Alps in the section Political history and modern state of the inhabitants of the Alps. The text, which was obviously taken from the 1911 Encyclopedia Britannica, reflected the situation before World War II. For sources, see especially the article on South Tyrol.
