Latvia's Cities and Towns (1618 words) |
 | The development of these cities was cut short by the invasion of the crusaders in the 1200s, the development of new political and social organisations, and the introduction of a new culture. |
| City status was granted to 30 inhabited places in a period of 20 years. |
| Today the larger part of Latvia’s population resides in city areas- that is 1 675 000 inhabitants or approximately 68 % of the population. |
| Hanseatic League and Cities (Germany, Latvia, Netherlands, Poland) (733 words) |
| Copenhagen was not a Hanseatic city, according to both the Danish Encyclopaedia and dtv-Atlas zur Weltgeschichte. |
| The '160 cities' seem to be by a broad definition of the Hansa, probably including every city where the Hanseatic traders had their stalls. |
| Stockholm and Calmar (Kalmar) are thought to have been members of the Hansa for short periods, because in some sources they are mentioned as Hanseatic towns, but it could also be because the Hansa had offices there. |
