This article is plagiarized from Britannica, 11th edition.

The style of this article doesn't sound like Wikipedia (or any modern reference work), so I wondered if it was plagiarized from some older and more opinionated source. With a little help from Google, I learned that the whole thing was copied directly (and without attribution) from the 11th edition of Britannica. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:18A:C201:B3E0:A961:39F8:E3EF:438B (talk) 18:22, 22 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
