Shipping status doesn't change?
I've been waiting for my new smartphone, which I ordered through Vodafone (with a contract), since Monday. It's been stuck in Dorsten since Thursday, and it says "Shipment prepared for onward transport." Until yesterday, the expected delivery date was Friday, December 2nd, but now it's gone and it's Saturday. What could be going on?
The German king gives the German emperor many battles?

Is that true or not? It's about the Middle Ages
Are the Turks descended from the Mongols?
ByFrageed
Hey guys, I once heard that the Turks and the Turkish language originate from the area of present-day Mongolia. Is that true? I'm Turkish. Does that mean my ancestors were Mongolian? Since I bear little resemblance to Mongolians. I would appreciate any response. Thank you very much.
You were already allowed to choose your profession freely and move freely within the state territory. Human rights have been respected.
Economically, there was some progress.
Of course, prosperity has not been as high as today.
Most people were either farmers or workers in factories. A family had over 5 children.
Were people in the cities able to afford so many children? There was no child money at that time!
PS: ironically, people get just when prosperity is low, especially many children.
Today in Europe a woman gets 1.3 children, 150 years ago it was safe over 5. In the Middle Ages there were also 5 to 10 children.
Yes, that was already happening, but the children did not have such a luxurious life as today, they did not get a new toy as they did today and a new cell phone every year.
They got new clothes at food and all the holy times (if the old one was not intact at all) and often had to help at home at home.
In addition, they were often sent to teaching very early, often under 14.
In principle, however, such a family lived relatively economical, but since there were almost no taxes (forcibly and average earners paid less than 10% income tax) the family father remained more money for the family.
Much better than is usually told.
The period from 1871 was a period of rapid economic rise, rising wages, full employment, improved hygiene and broader education. The feeling of life was very optimistic, one believed in progress.
There were demolisheds in democratic co-determination, but in comparison the Empire was not particularly backward, rather on the contrary. The general right of men to vote in Germany was not yet introduced, for example, in most countries. In the supposedly so advanced England, only 50% of men were allowed to vote.
If you were one of the top 10%. For the mass of the working population, land and factory workers, life was not so great. Thus, the order of the genus was abolished in 1919.
You’re right for the rural population in Prussia.
what was the purpose of which men were allowed to choose and when did that change?
Not only in Prussia, also in Bavaria and other states. And what about industrial workers?
for most pathetic
for that the rich and powerful were all the better – no wonder that one or other descendants dreamed of the good old times and a few totally naive citizens run after them
but I am not!!!!
a lot of military, economic rise, the country turned from the agricultural state to the industrial state. People flowed into cities and worked in factories, including women. There were many workers’ settlements. Otherwise many children, no fully automatic kitchens, no washing machines, coal stove, no electric stove. For working women there was a day of washing per month. They lived mostly in two-room apartments and bought in the Aunt-Emma shop, or on the market, slaughter and bakery shops, supermarkets were not yet available. They got married early.
The middle class and the rich were of course better, often the servants had.
Quite unspectacular. Having put me more often into a seminar on German imperial times, and what the lecturer has always stressed was that it was a comparatively modern state. After all, it was just a constitutional monarchy.
You don’t think I’d notice a difference today, you’d exchange the state form.
If you were the Emperor, it was good
This probably depended on the social and political circles in which one grew up.

Pretty everyday. For the people at that time nothing special.
For people with money it was luxurious and difficult for people without money.
So almost as today.
