To help you on this here is another piece of information: Nearby this island the very first naval battle of WW1 was fought.

Nick22 · **Reply #342 on:** February 15, 2006, 10:38:53 PM

If I may ask, why did the Germans want to blow up the island?

Malte279 · **Reply #343 on:** February 16, 2006, 04:18:37 AM

It weren't the Germans who wanted to blow up the island.

So it wasn't them? Thanks...

Forgive the spelling, but Skagerrak?

Malte279 · **Reply #346 on:** March 01, 2006, 02:51:18 PM

No. Skagerrak is not an island but a sea passage between Denmark and Norway. The battle fought there was as late as 1916 while the battle that took place nearby that island I'm looking for was actually the first sea-battle in WW1.

Just thought I'd guess.. I'll google some more.

I pray you do.

Battle of Heigoland?

Malte279 · **Reply #350 on:** March 27, 2006, 11:39:00 AM

Heligoland is that island I was looking for. Your turn Nick.

Alright, give me a moment to think of one...

Malte279 · **Reply #352 on:** May 11, 2006, 10:17:19 AM

Your turn Nick.

Nick22 · **Reply #353 on:** May 11, 2006, 10:27:43 AM

Thank you Malte...

Malte279 · **Reply #354 on:** May 16, 2006, 02:32:43 AM

You are very, very welcome indeed Nick, but it is still your turn.

Malte279 · **Reply #355 on:** June 26, 2006, 02:05:16 PM

Still your turn Nick.

Nick22 · **Reply #356 on:** June 26, 2006, 02:10:34 PM

Ooops.. sorry... In 1871, Germany was created after the Franc-_german war. Which German speaking areas were excluded from Germany? I may have alreadyy asked this question, but It'ds the best I can do at the moment.

Malte279 · **Reply #357 on:** June 26, 2006, 02:38:54 PM

All those regions which belonged to Austria at that time plus Switzerland.

Nick22 · **Reply #358 on:** June 26, 2006, 02:39:56 PM

Yep, you got it. Your turn Malte...

Malte279 · **Reply #359 on:** June 26, 2006, 02:52:07 PM

Which dispatch caused a war and how did it?
