General Terms of Use and Copyright Regulations of the European History Web Portal

If you wish to reprint a contribution of the European History Web Portal, you need the permission of both the author and the editorial staff. The editors advise that, rather than reprinting the full text, you only publish excerpts from the text, followed by the correct reference to the original publication. This also applies to social networks. In this way, the circulation of several versions of the text can be avoided. Multiple publications of texts (duplicate content) can lead to a lower ranking in search engines for all versions, as the search engine cannot easily identify the original publication.<
