Part 168

which — gains, +sobald die Interessen des Bundes im geringsten dadurch beeinträchtigt wurden+.

their vessels = them. The passage ‘and — vessels’ is best rendered by the Passive Voice. ‘To seize’, here +mit Beschlag belegen+.

to make a sacrifice, +ein Opfer bringen+.

to come into collision with a person, +sich mit einem entzweien+.

+Aus+; to come off, +hervorgehen+; it = the same.

+dessen kommerzielle Überlegenheit.+

It is better, for the sake of distinctness, to change the pronoun ‘it’ into ‘the league’.

Use the Passive Voice to render ‘whose — Baltic’.

a — feeling = great hatred.

to prove fatal = to become dangerous.

Place ‘one — another’ after ‘threw’, and commence the sentence with ‘The markets’; it = the same; as — estates, +als ihre eigenen Gebiete+; threw off their allegiance, +warfen ... das ihnen aufgedrungene Joch von sich+.

‘to admit a person’, here +einem den Zutritt gestatten+.

= Upon that.

+Herrschaft über+; sources of supply, +Zufuhrquellen+.

+er bemühte sich vielmehr.+

but — exploded = but when its monopolies (+Handelsprivilegien+) were one after another taken away (+entreißen+) from it (+ihm+, to be placed after ‘monopolies’).

to cultivate = the cultivation (+Pflege+, f.); ‘the — country’ may be briefly rendered by +der inländischen Produktionskraft+.

= in combination.

+Verlegung+, f.; route, +Landweg+, m.

+Städtebund+, m.

+der Austritt aus dem Bunde+.

+beschränkt.+

however, the Hansa lingered on, +fristete die Hansa jedoch noch ... ein kümmerliches Dasein+.
