Mediatisation 1803-1806

NAPOLEON AND MEDIATISATION
We see now that the rates of Napoleon’s reformatting of the European feuds more likely reflect some kind of collector activity, rather than military one, and mediatisation of the Holy Roman Empire (HRE) looks like organic part of the all-European process. HRE and France were not at war in fact, but discussed the mediatisation order, and Franz II was not against reformatting of territories, he even initiated it from time to time. It was not war, it was “Perestroika”.

Chronological shifts: Catherine’s shift and 59-year-old one

Shift is the number of years dividing two identical or closely related events. They suppose such shifts evidence manipulations when the whole data files were copied with some changes, and duplicates were shifted to earlier times in the past. My collection of such shifts contains about 700 pairs, and trial sampling with the machine method use has resulted in 40 thousand pairs. Personally I think that not historians created such files shifted into the past, but the closed structures like drug dealers, financiers, pharmacists, weapon sellers, scientists, — and, most likely, the seals, forms, names in such document files were original. The only problem is that those documents are not connected with historical reality, therefore exact potash technologies in gunpowder and glass business were described prior to discovery of chemical distinctions between soda and potash, and opium peripeteia in India and China are definitely shifted between these countries for 59 years.
