The Rhineland region (in German, Rheinland) is the name used to designate the lands on both sides of the Rhine River, in the west of Germany.
The situation of the region remained the same, until the German capitulation of the First World War, at the beginning of the 20th century, when the western part of the Rhineland was occupied by forces of the Triple Entente; Under the Treaty of Versailles, the region was demilitarized.
It was Earl Warren who wrote the famous decision of the Brown v. Board of Education case, which ruled that separate was in fact not equal when it came to separate facilities for African Americans.
