So is the Fifth Republic, to be sure. That's about the same (or similar) question raised by international law wit= h quite a couple of different theories on who is/are the successor(s) of 'das Dritt= e Reich' (the 'DDR' - German Democratic Republic - too, who didn't claim for = it ;-) ?). When studying law (and still today), my opinion always was that there a= re/ were two - though pretty different - legal successors. > BTW, here is a good page showing how everyone with any European ancestry = at > all is almost certainly descended from Charlemagne. I heard about this idea, maybe this is even true ;-) Craig, your teacher was right, the so-called 'tausendjährige Reich' never r= eally had been an empire, nonetheless affecting so many people's lives! Qin Shihuangdi's 'empire' also didn't really survive this ruler, yet yielded im= mense consequences on China up to our days. .aulun. _________ "Law, hîr nín, ú dollen i Rîw.
