	componentDidMount() {
		this.setState({
			countries : [
				{ name: 'Germany', states: [ {name: 'A', cities: ['Duesseldorf', 'Leinfelden-Echterdingen', 'Eschborn']} ] },

		this.setState({states : this.state.countries.find(cntry => cntry.name === event.target.value).states});
	}

	changeState(event) {
		this.setState({selectedState: event.target.value});
		const stats = this.state.countries.find(cntry => cntry.name === this.state.selectedCountry).states;
		this.setState({cities : stats.find(stat => stat.name === event.target.value).cities});
	}
	
	render() {
