Great writing!

I thought you were somehow to work in the Rapallo treaty somewhere.

The Treaty of Rapallo was an agreement made in the Italian town of Rapallo on April 16, 1922 between Germany (the Weimar Republic) and Soviet Russia under which each renounced all territorial and financial claims against the other following the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk and World War I.

The two governments also agreed to normalise their diplomatic relations and to "co-operate in a spirit of mutual goodwill in meeting the economic needs of both countries".

The Treaty was signed during the Genoa Conference by Georgi Chicherin, foreign minister of the Russian Socialist Federal Soviet Republic, and his German counterpart Walther Rathenau.

A supplementary agreement signed at Berlin on November 5 extended the treaty to cover Germany's relations with Russian controlled (or heavily influenced) Soviet republics of Ukraine, Belarus, Georgia, Azerbaijan, Armenia and the Far Eastern Republic.

A secret annex signed on July 29 allowed Germany to train its military in Soviet territory, thus violating the terms of the Treaty of Versailles.

(Btw, my Tribext has partially stopped working. Or at least the neat copy html and translate functions. Are there any known conflicts with other firefox extension?)

Yes, I did consider that too, but it didn't really relate to the main issues I discussed, so I decided not to "work it in".

Maybe it's because I'm a Londoner - that I moved to Nice.
