Wiener Neudorf
Wiener Neudorf (Central Bavarian: ''Weana Neiduaf'') is an Austrian town in the eastern part of the Mödling district, south of Vösendorf and Maria Enzersdorf, west of Biedermannsdorf, and north of Guntramsdorf. History First settled in 4000 B.C., the first mention of Wiener Neudorf was as ''Nowendorf'' in the mid-12th century. In 1270 a paper mentioned tolls for traveling from Sollenau and ''Neudorf''. Circa 1500 the 'Feste Neudorf' fortification was destroyed twice by invading Turks. In 1854, Wiener Neudorf became the official name, which stemmed from the postal system development in the early 19th century (Wiener Neudorf gained the letter 'W' to differentiate the name). Wiener Neudorf industrialisation began in the mid-19th century especially due to the available clay used by the ''Neudorfer Ziegelwerke'' of Wienerberger. The ''Austria Brauerei'' major brewery was located in Wiener Neudorf as well. By 1900 the telephone network was unified with the neighbouring municipa ...

The Allies, formally referred to as the United Nations from 1942, were an international military coalition formed during the Second World War (1939–1945) to oppose the Axis powers, led by Nazi Germany, Imperial Japan, and Fascist Italy. Its principal members by 1941 were the United Kingdom, United States, Soviet Union, and China. Membership in the Allies varied during the course of the war. When the conflict broke out on 1 September 1939, the Allied coalition consisted of the United Kingdom, France, and Poland, as well as their respective dependencies, such as British India. They were soon joined by the independent dominions of the British Commonwealth: Canada, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa. Consequently, the initial alliance resembled that of the First World War. As Axis forces began invading northern Europe and the Balkans, the Allies added the Netherlands, Belgium, Norway, Greece, and Yugoslavia. The Soviet Union, which initially had a nonaggression pa ...
