@RESS,

" . . . . . . . .A short stroll to the north is Schloss Cecilienhof, the mansion Crown Prince Wilhelm commissioned to replace the Marmorpalais. Named for his wife Cecilie and built in a half-timbered style modelled on the English Elizabethan mansions of Cheshire, Cecilienhof is the most poignant of all German essays in anglophilia, for it was completed in 1917 at the height of a war that destroyed the old Victorian bond between Saxon and Anglo-Saxon. It was in this house in the summer of 1945 ? between Germany?s defeat and Japan?s surrender ? that the Potsdam Agreement was thrashed out between the Allied powers, and, though some of the rooms are preserved more or less as they were when Wilhelm and Cecilie lived here, it is the connection with that momentous conference that makes the Schloss worth visiting. . . . . . . . . .

Quote:The Mediterranean race was one of the three sub-categories into which the Caucasian race and the people of Europe were divided by anthropologists in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, following the publication of William Z. Ripley's book "The Races of Europe" (1899). The others were Nordic and Alpine.
