Today in Labor History March 1, 1871: The victorious Prussian Army paraded through Paris after the Siege of Paris. Three weeks later, on March 18, radical soldiers from the French National Guard seized control of the city and established the Paris Commune. The workers controlled the city for two months. They abolished child labor and gave workers the right to seize businesses abandoned by the owners. They also dismantled the police and established their own self-policing. The French army quashed the commune beginning on May 21 with the Bloody Week. During that time, they slaughtered up to 20,000 people and arrested over 43,000.

![This image depicts a historical scene featuring Marienburg, located on the southwestern side in what was then Prussia but is now Malbork, Poland. The focus of this photograph is an expansive view of the medieval castle that dominates the skyline. This fortress has multiple towers and spires, reflecting Gothic architectural elements from its era.
The surrounding area shows a mixture of residential buildings with pitched roofs and various structures indicative of life during or before modern times. In the foreground, we see a riverbank where boats are moored to wooden poles in shallow waters amidst green vegetation at water's edge.
To provide context for this historical image: It appears as though it was taken between approximately 1890 and 1900 based on its characteristics which include sepia-toned colors reminiscent of early photographic processes. The photograph captures a moment frozen in time, showcasing the architectural grandeur of Marienburg amidst an environment that tells us much about daily life during this period.

_“Includes Norway, Sweden, Denmark and Prussia. Also includes most, and in some cases all, of Finland, Poland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, and parts of western Russia, though they are not the direct focus of the map.”_

Today, another example of the Vauxhall Prince Henry, a later car from 1914, which lives at the National Motor Museum at Beaulieu, with a slightly different implementation of the fluted bonnet. I’d always vaguely assumed that ‘Prince Henry’ was a reference to some member of the British royal family but the Prince Henry in question was actually Prinz Heinrich of Prussia in whose name early motor sport trials were organised.

In 1680, he became an #envoy extraordinaire of the elector of #Brandenburg in #Paris. He left that position in 1688 and returned first in 1701. With the outbreak of the #WarOfTheSpanishSucession Spanheim moved to #London again as a representative of the young kingdom #Prussia. (4/4)

Like many other #emdiplomats he then moved from administration to #emdiplomacy. Alexander von Greiffenklau zu Vollrads’s diplomatic career started with less important missions to #Prussia and as the Emperor’s representative at the Polish #court. In 1643 he was appointed Imperial resident minister at the #HighPorte, where he died in 1648.
It is, however, interesting that the #Emperor in contrast to other European powers such as #France or #England only dispatched a resident, a lower rank #diplomat to #Constantinople. The unclear positions of residents within the hierarchy of #emdiplomacy led to permanent ceremonial conflicts with other #diplomats there. (3/6)

Shortly thereafter Pufendorf’s diplomatic career took off. In 1661 he accompanied the Swedish #ambassador to #England as a secretary. The following year #Pufendorf was sent to East #Prussia for negotiations with the coastal cities. In 1664 he joined the Swedish #embassy in #Paris where he stayed until 1670. That year Pufendorf was transferred to the Swedish duchies of #Bremen and #Verden and appointed councillor. In this capacity he continued his diplomatic activities in Northern Germany. In 1671 he became Swedish ambassador at the Imperial #court in #Vienna. (3/5)

Here is my #SaturdayNightCoinShow entry - as promised, the answer to the #MysteryCoin from 1776 I posted the other day:
- Dated 1776
- Not precious (ok some silver in the Billon)
- Small (18.5mm, weight 1.4g)
- Interesting denomination: 1/48 Thaler
- My German medallion was a clue - it's from Prussia, which encompassed parts of #Germany.
#Prussia was an interesting place, which produced curious coins. More here: https://coinofnote.com/1776-prussia-1-48-thaler/
The perils of #monoculture. In the late 18th century, officials in #Prussia and #Saxony began to rearrange their complex, diverse #forests into straight rows of single-species #trees, leading to #ecologicaldisaster.

"So you think your ancestor was Prussian…
What does it mean when a record(s) says that your family member was Prussian? This topic comes up frequently and seems to cause a lot of confusion, especially here in the US."
