The Hanseatic League (also known as the Hanse or Hansa; Low German: Hanse, Dudesche Hanse, Latin: Hansa, Hansa Teutonica or Liga Hanseatica) was a commercial and defensive confederation of merchant guilds and their market towns. It dominated Baltic maritime trade (c. 1400–1800) along the coast of Northern Europe. It stretched from the Baltic to the North Sea and inland during the Late Middle Ages and early modern period (c. 13th to 17th centuries).
The League was created to protect economic interests and diplomatic privileges in the cities and countries and along the trade routes the merchants visited. The Hanseatic cities had their own legal system and furnished their own armies for mutual protection and aid. Despite this, the organization was not a city-state, nor can it be called a confederation of city-states; only a very small number of the cities within the league enjoyed autonomy and liberties comparable to those of a free imperial city.
The legacy of the Hansa is remembered today in several names: the German airline Lufthansa (i.e., "Air Hansa"); F.C. Hansa Rostock; the Hanze University of Applied Sciences, Groningen, in the Netherlands; the Hanze oil production platform (also in the Netherlands); the Hansa Brewery in Bergen; the Hansabank in the Baltic states (now known as Swedbank); and the Hanse Sail in Rostock. DDG Hansa was a major German shipping company from 1881 until its bankruptcy in 1980.

I never thought that love could be unkind
'Cos your the type of guy I thought I'd never find
I thought I could forget you and be strong
But the love I have inside makes me hold on
And now I am beside myself
I think of you and no one else
You held me tight, I felt so safe
And now I know I've been replaced
What does she look like?
Why was she so right?
That you gave your love to her
Baby, didn't I deserve
To hold you
Baby, to show you
That the love I have inside to give
Was enough for us to leave
You'll never know the hurt you put me through
Cos you're loving her while I was loving you
You took my heart and ripped it into shreads
And now your heart is with that girl in your bed
I know I'm just a memory
But I will love you endlessly
You cherished me
You made me strong
You gave me strength to carry on
What does she look like?
Why was she so right?
That you gave your love to her
Baby, didn't I deserve
To hold you
Baby, to show you
That the love I have inside to give
Was enough for us
Don't you think I'll sit there crying over you
Baby, don't you take me for a fool no, no, no
I'll think of you along the way
I'll get over you I hope and pray
If I was not the one for you
Why did you choose me? to make me blue?
What does she look like?
Why was she so right?
That you gave your love to her
Baby, didn't I deserve
To hold you
Baby, to show you
That the love I have inside to give
Was enough for us
What does she look like?
Why was she so right?
That you gave your love to her
Baby, didn't I deserve
To hold you
Baby, to show you
That the love I have inside to give
