List Of Streets Named After Adolf Hitler
This is a partial list of streets and squares named after Adolf Hitler during the era of Nazi Germany. The zeal with which German municipal authorities attempted, immediately after the seizure of power, to play their part in the "National Rising" (german: Nationale Erhebung) is shown by the practice of conferring honorary municipal citizenship on Hitler, and even more by naming a street (''Straße''), a square or place (''Platz''), a promenade (''Anlage''), an avenue (''Damm'', ''Allee''), a stadium (''Kampfbahn''), or a bridge (''Brücke'') after the new chancellor. As early as March and April 1933, a wave of renamings swept through Germany's cities. Most of the examples in the list come from this period. Places Brazil Before 1931, there are records of a street named Rua Adolpho Hitler in the Campo Belo district of Santo Amaro, Brazil – notably at a time when the Nazis had not yet come to power in Germany. Its name was changed in 1931 to Rua Almirante Barroso, but when Sa ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Bulgarians
Bulgarians ( bg, българи, Bǎlgari, ) are a nation and South Slavic ethnic group native to Bulgaria and the rest of Southeast Europe. Etymology Bulgarians derive their ethnonym from the Bulgars. Their name is not completely understood and difficult to trace back earlier than the 4th century AD, but it is possibly derived from the Proto-Turkic word ''*bulģha'' ("to mix", "shake", "stir") and its derivative ''*bulgak'' ("revolt", "disorder"). Alternative etymologies include derivation from a compound of Proto-Turkic (Oghuric) ''*bel'' ("five") and ''*gur'' ("arrow" in the sense of "tribe"), a proposed division within the Utigurs or Onogurs ("ten tribes"). Citizenship According to the Art.25 (1) of Constitution of Bulgaria, a Bulgarian citizen shall be anyone born to at least one parent holding a Bulgarian citizenship, or born on the territory of the Republic of Bulgaria, should they not be entitled to any other citizenship by virtue of origin.
