The first European oil wells were drilled in 1864 by the Romanian engineer and inventor, Edwin L. Drake. He successfully drilled a well in the region of Ploiești, Romania, which marked the beginning of the modern oil industry in Europe. This pioneering effort laid the groundwork for future oil extraction and production techniques across the continent.

What was Bismarck's method for uniting Germany?

Bismarck's method for uniting Germany involved a strategy of "Realpolitik," characterized by pragmatic politics and the use of diplomacy and military power. He orchestrated a series of wars—against Denmark in 1864, Austria in 1866, and France in 1870-71—to rally the German states around Prussia and foster nationalist sentiment. Through the manipulation of political alliances and careful statecraft, Bismarck ultimately facilitated the proclamation of the German Empire in 1871, unifying the German states under Prussian leadership.


What does the name Kurvers mean?

The name Kurvers originates from the Belgium border town Stokkem in the Belgium province of Limburg. In this small village a famous school existed where students were taught how to fabricate a Korf (Basket). Surnames often derived from the profession of a given person. Hence, the first family member accounted for in writing was named Renerus (Rene) Korver (d.o.b. 1624). The letter s was often added to the end of the surname of its father. Therefore, the first documented child of Renerus was called Theodorus Korfs. One should realize that due to mistakes in pronunciation an writing, the name Kurvers has also been written as Korver, Korvers, Corver, Corvers etc. Anyways, Theodorus decides to cross the river Meuse and starts living in Sittard, a somewhat larger city, in effect only about 10 miles from his birtplace in Belgium. Even the name of the province in the Netherlands is the same as the one in Belgium: Limburg. Thereafter The Kurvers family remains to live in the Netherlands, apart from another Theodorus Kurvers, who around 1864 moved to the USA, more specific Minnesota. In the Netherlands The Kurvers slowly spread over the country, the most populated Kurvers areas are Gpuda/Moordrecht/Rotterdam, and Den Bosch. In the South of the Netherlands (limburg provence) the most populated areas are Venlo and surroundings, Maastricht and surroundings, and finally the Dutch hometown Sittard where the density of people named Kurvers remains highest.
