Talk:Eduard von Capelle

Kingdom of Hanover vs German Empire
When Adm. von Capelle was born, Celle was in the Kingdom of Hanover. The German Empire was founded in 1871. Prior to that, Celle was, as I mentioned, in the independent Kingdom of Hanover, ruled by the Hanoverian line. Admittedly, there was the German Confederation, but that was just a loose confederation, by no means a nation, let alone an empire. Hence, in accordance with the "be brave" rule, I changed his country of birth from "German Empire" to "Kingdom of Hanover".
