”Discoveries are not to be called conquests”: Narrative, empire, and the ambiguity of conquest in Spain’s American empire. $49.99 This dissertation focuses on the intellectual issues that surround the most dramatic form of human encounter: that of imperial conquest. By examining the modes of thought available to conquering societies I examine the way in which specific narrative traditions influence the process of justification and legitimization of expansion.;Based on my analysis of a specific set of narratives created by Spanish in the Americas, a wide variety of published primary resources, and research in Spanish archives, I look into the narrative traditions of a number of societies in history, assess the construction of the reconquista narrative in Spain, and then cross the Atlantic to examine variety of interest groups that emerged across Spain’s American empire and the narratives that were produced to justify those interests.;In successful cases the drama of conquest is normalized through the adoption or construction of legitimizing narratives that tap into prevailing societal self-conceptions or historical relationships. As examples of this I examine a diverse set of societies including China during the Han Dynasty, Sassanid Persia, Turkic states of central and western Asia, and the Ottoman Empire.;I then introduce the case of the Spanish, first in the Iberian Peninsula where their narrative traditions successfully justified and normalized the act of conquest, and then in the Americas. Spain’s American empire, I argue, constituted a situation so novel as to resist any attempt to make sense of it within the prevailing narrative tradition. Spain’s central narratives fell apart in the face of such novelty, leaving narrative chaos and an imperial state unable to control the process of narrative construction. The result was a proliferation of narratives and a heated debate over the Spanish right to rule in their American possessions. This debate only diminished with the repudiation of the notion of conquest in the second half of the sixteenth century.;Through this effort, this dissertation |

1000 Monuments $16.92 Since the mythical Tower of Babel, humans have continuously tried to erect monuments to match their oversized egos. With ancient ziggurats, the Taj Mahal or the Empire State Building, man has for centuries demonstrated his force by raising structures for purposes both religious and profane. As symbols of a people’s values and a civilisation’s grandeur, these monuments still fascinate and attract a public captivated by the creativity and ingenuity of these architects and stonemasons. Their historical message goes far beyond mere art history, for they also tell us of the lives and evolution of the peoples of the past, as does the Parthenon in Athens, many times destroyed, rebuilt, and restored once again. |

Today, both the Republics of Tatarstan and Chuvashia are considered to be descendants of Volga Bulgaria.Origin First-hand information on Volga Bulgaria is rather sparse. As no authentic Bulgar records have survived, most of our information comes from contemporary Arabic , Persian , Indian or Russian sources. Some information is provided by excavations.It is thought that the territory of Volga Bulgaria was originally settled by Finno-Ugric peoples . The Bulgars moved from the Azov region in about AD 660, commanded by Kotrag , Kubrat ‘s son. They reached Idel-Ural in in the eighth century, where they became the dominant population at the end of the 9th century, uniting other tribes of different origin which lived in the area.

Excerpt: The 1280s is the decade starting January 1, 1280 and ending December 31, 1289. Europe in the 1280s was marked by naval warfare on the Mediterranean Sea and consolidation of power by the major states. Ongoing struggles over the control of Sicily provoked lengthy naval warfare: after the Sicilian Vespers rebellion, the French Angevins struggled against Aragon for control of the island. King Rudolph I of Germany established the Habsburg dynasty in Austria when he invested his two sons with power there. In England, King Edward I of England completed the conquest of Wales and annexed the territory via the Statute of Rhuddlan; he also constructed a series of castles in Wales to suppress any future rebellions. Edward I also established several important legal traditions, including a court system to hear claims on the king’s behalf and a codification of the separation of church and state legal powers. The death of King Alexander III of Scotland fomented political wrangling in Scotland which would soon lead to increased English influence over Scotland. In Sweden, King Magnus I of Sweden founded a Swedish nobility. In Asia, the Mongols continued to expand their territories, although at a slower pace and with less success than in previous decades. Kublai Khan’s Yuan Dynasty established control over the Khmer empire in Cambodia, the Pagan Empire in Myanmar, and a kingdom of Laos, but failed a second attempted invasion of Japan and was twice defeated in attempted invasions of Vietnam. The Thai kingdoms of Lanna and Sukhothai also exercised power in the region, avoiding conflict with the Yuan Dynasty to the north. Across the continent in the Middle East, the Mamluk sultanate of Egypt continued to extinguish crusader states under the leadership of Qalawun, c… More: |

1501 In International Relations $14.14 Purchase includes free access to book updates online and a free trial membership in the publisher’s book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Excerpt: The Safavids (Persian: ; Kurdish: ; Azerbaijani: ; Georgian: ) were one of the most significant ruling dynasties of Iran. They ruled the greatest Iranian empire since the Islamic conquest of Persia and established the Ithnashari (Twelver) school of Shi’a Islam as the official religion of their empire, marking one of the most important turning points in the history of Islam. This Shia dynasty was of mixed ancestry (Kurdish, Azerbaijani, Georgian, Greek) and ruled Iran from 1501/1502 to 1722. The Safavid dynasty had its origin in the “Safawiyyah” which was established in the city of Ardabil in the Azerbaijan region of Iran. From their base in Ardabil, the Safavids established control over all of Persia and reasserted the Iranian identity of the region, thus becoming the first native dynasty since the Sassanids to establish a unified Iranian state. Despite their demise in 1736, the Safavids have left their mark down to the present era by establishing and spreading Shi’a Islam in major parts of the Caucasus and West Asia, especially in Iran. Unlike many other dynasties founded by warlords and military chiefs, one of the unique aspects of the Safavids in the post-Islamic Iran was their origin in the Islamic Sufi order called the Safaviyeh. This uniqueness makes the Safavid dynasty comparable to the pre-Islamic Sassanid dynasty, which made Zoroastrianism into an official religion, and whose founders were from a priestly class. It should be noted that the Safaviyeh was not originally Shia but it was from the Shafii Sunni Islam. The transformation of the Safavids from a Sunni Sufi order into a politico-military grouping espousing a heterodox version of Shiism began with afi-al-Din’s grandson, Khwaja Ali (d. 833/1429). The Safavid dynasty was Azerbaij… More: |

Bijapur had been a province of the Bahmani Sultanate (1347 1518), before its political decline in the last quarter of the 15th century and eventual break-up in 1518. The Bijapur Sultanate was absorbed into the Mughal Empire on 12 September 1686, after its conquest by the Emperor Aurangzeb . The founder of the Adil Shahi dynasty, Yusuf Adil Shah (1490-1510), was appointed Bahmani governor of the province, before creating a de-facto independent Bijapur state. Yusuf and his son, Ismail, generally used the title Adil Khan . ‘Khan’, meaning ‘Chief’ in Persian,conferred a lower status than ‘Shah’, indicating royal rank. Only with the rule of Yusuf’s grandson, Ibrahim Adil Shah I (1534 1558), did the title of Adil Shah come into common use.The Bijapur Sultanate’s borders changed considerably throughout its history. Its northern boundary remained relatively stable, straddling contemporary Southern |

Excerpt: Altona Altona (German pronunciation: ) is the westernmost urban borough (Bezirk ) of the German city state of Hamburg , on the right bank of the Elbe river. From 1640 to 1864 Altona was under the administration of the Danish monarchy. Altona was an independent city until 1937. In 2006 the population was 243,972.History Founded in 1535 as a village of fishermen, in 1664 Altona received city rights from Danish King Frederik III . Until 1864, Altona was one of the Danish monarchy’s most important harbour towns. The railroad from Altona to Kiel , the Christian VIII Baltic Sea Rail Line (Christian VIII Østersø Jernbane ), was opened in 1844.Because of the severe restrictions on the number of Jews allowed to live in Hamburg (with the exception of the period of 1811 15,) until 1864, a major Jewish community developed in Altona. Members did business both in Hamburg and in Altona itself. All that remains after the Nazi Holocaust during World War II is the Jewish cemetery , but in the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries, the community was a major center of Jewish life and scholarship .The wars between Denmark and the Kingdom of Prussia , such as the First Schleswig War (1848 1851) and the Second War of Schleswig (February 1864 October 1864) followed by the Gastein Convention (1864), led to Denmark’s cession of the Duchies of Schleswig, Holstein and Lauenburg to Prussian and Austrian administration, respectively. In 1867 Altona became |

Excerpt: Historia verdadera de la conquista de la Nueva España (English : The Truthful History of the Conquest of New Spain ) is the first-person narrative of Bernal Díaz del Castillo (1492 or 1493 1581), a 16th-century military adventurer, settler and conquistador who served with the expeditions of Francisco Hernández de Córdoba , Juan de Grijalva and Hernán Cortés in Mexico and Yucatán , and who saw and participated in the fall of Moctezuma II and with him the end of the great Aztec empire.Written at eighty-four years of age on his encomienda estates in Guatemala , Díaz wrote his work to defend the common conquistador history of the conquest. He wanted to provide an alternative to the critical writings of Bartolomé de Las Casas who emphasized the cruelty of the conquest and also the hagiographic biographers of Hernán Cortés , among them Francisco López de Gómara , who he believed to be downplaying the role of the 700 common footmen who were instrumental in bringing down the Aztec empire. Accusing these chroniclers of speaking the truth “neither in the beginning, nor the middle, nor the end”, Díaz vociferously defended the actions of the conquistadors, while at the same time bringing the elements of humanism and honesty to his eyewitness narrative, famously summarised in his throwaway line; “we went there to serve God, and also to get rich”.Díaz is not always charitable to Cortés. As with many of the other soldiers involved in the conquest, Díaz found himself among the ruins of Tenochtitlan little richer than when he had arrived, a state for which many of his comrades blamed Cortés, accused by some of taking far more than his previously-agreed ‘fifth’ of the |

1688: The First Modern Revolution $12.3 For two hundred years historians have viewed England’s Glorious Revolution of 1688–1689 as an un-revolutionary revolution—bloodless, consensual, aristocratic, and above all, sensible. In this brilliant new interpretation Steve Pincus refutes this traditional view.By expanding the interpretive lens to include a broader geographical and chronological frame, Pincus demonstrates that England’s revolution was a European event, that it took place over a number of years, not months, and that it had repercussions in India, North America, the West Indies, and throughout continental Europe. His rich historical narrative, based on masses of new archival research, traces the transformation of English foreign policy, religious culture, and political economy that, he argues, was the intended consequence of the revolutionaries of 1688–1689.James II developed a modernization program that emphasized centralized control, repression of dissidents, and territorial empire. The revolutionaries, by contrast, took advantage of the new economic possibilities to create a bureaucratic but participatory state. The postrevolutionary English state emphasized its ideological break with the past and envisioned itself as continuing to evolve. All of this, argues Pincus, makes the Glorious Revolution—not the French Revolution—the first truly modern revolution. This wide-ranging book reenvisions the nature of the Glorious Revolution and of revolutions in general, the causes and consequences of commercialization, the nature of liberalism, and ultimately the origins and contours of modernity itself. |

1766 Disestablishments $14.14 Purchase includes free access to book updates online and a free trial membership in the publisher’s book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Excerpt: Saamoothirippd or Saamoothiri (Malayalam: ), anglicised Zamorin or Samorin, is the title used by the Eradi (Nair) rulers of the erstwhile state of Kozhikode (anglicised Calicut) (Nediyirippu Swarpam), located in the present day state of Kerala, India. They ruled between the 14th and 18th century AD and were the most powerful kings of kerala during the middle age. Mnavikraman Raja, the Saamoothiri of Kozhikode is famous for being the ruler who received the Portuguese trader and navigator Vasco da Gama on May 18, 1498. The Saamoothiri originally were Eradis (rulers of Eranad)as per legend two Eradi (a higher subdivision of Nairs) brothers known as Manikkan and Vikraman establish this ruling family. Eranad was a small fiefdom which was one of the four states (Eranad, Kolathunadu, Perumpadapu and Venad) that made up the Chera Empire. It is said that in the 14th century, the Saamoothiris killed Porlathiri the ruler of Polanad by treachery, and annexed that state. They moved their capital to present day Kozhikode (which was a part of Polanad) and named it Thrivikramapuram. All of this may have been precipitated by the great flood of the Periyar river in about 1341AD. This flood resulted in the silting of the harbour of Kodungallur (anglicised as Cranganore), a town known to be frequented by Arab and Roman and Chinese traders (Refer Indian Ancient Maritime History). The silting led to the rise in prosperity of other ports like Kochi (also known as Cochin), and Kozhikode. The Zamorin assumed the title of Samudrthiri (meaning “one who has the sea for his border”) and continued to rule from Kozhikode. The title Samudrthiri was shortened to Smoothiri over time in common usage. The present Saamoothiri is Kunhikuttan Raja of Thriukunna Kovilakam. After … More: |

Voting in the various states took place between April 1804 (New York) and August 1805 (Tennessee) with the Congress meeting on December 2, 1805.Under the popular reign of Thomas Jefferson , the president’s party continued to gain seats in the House. Territorial and economic expansion both gave voters a positive view of the Democratic-Republicans , which eclipsed the 3/4 mark in terms of seat percentage. Following this election, Federalists held few seats outside of New England and party legitimacy was being corroded as political thought turned away from the rather aristocratic Federalist ideals.Overall results Party: Total seats (change): Seat percentage See also (online edition) A hyperlinked version of this chapter is at The first 1804 United States Senate special election in New York was held on February 3, 1804, by the New York State Legislature to elect two U.S. Senators (Class 1 and 3) to |

1814 In Europe $19.99 Purchase includes free access to book updates online and a free trial membership in the publisher’s book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Excerpt: The Eight Articles of London, also known as the London Protocol of June 21, 1814, were a secret convention between the Great Powers: United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, Prussia, Austria, and Russia to award the territory of current Belgium and The Netherlands to William I of the Netherlands, then “Sovereign Prince” of the United Netherlands. He accepted this award on July 21, 1814. In early 1814 Napoleon I of France’s empire was reeling under the onslaught of the Allies. The Netherlands, annexed to the Empire by the Rambouillet Decree of July 9, 1810, had already been evacuated by the French occupation troops. In that country power had been assumed by the eldest son of the late last Stadtholder of the former Dutch Republic on December 6, 1813, under the new title “Sovereign Prince.” In the former Austrian Netherlands, annexed by France in 1794, the Allies made quick progress also. This presented the problem of what to do with this country. The thirty most prominent families of Brussels expressed the wish to restore the old Governorate-general of the Austrians, and this was provisionally instituted by the Allies in February, 1814, as their military government. However, Austria itself expressed little interest in resuming its rule. Therefore the Allies in the secret annexes to the Treaty of Chaumont provisionally apportioned the country to the new Dutch state. This was further formalized in the Treaty of Paris of May 30, 1814, in which Belgium on the left bank of the river Meuse was apportioned to the (future) Netherlands (whereas the fate of the right bank area was to determined later). How this was to be structured was, however, still to be decided, while certain expectations had been raised by the representatives of the Belgian pe… More: |

Excerpt: A hyperlinked version of this chapter is at The U.S. House election, 1822 was an election for the United States House of Representatives in 1822. As in all U.S. House elections prior to 1872, the various states held their elections in a long election season. The first state to hold congressional elections for the 18th Congress was Louisiana on 7/1-3/1822, and the last state to vote was North Carolina on 8/14/1823. The U.S. House assembled on 12/1/1823, though the term of office technically began on 3/4/1823.The campaign was waged between the Democratic-Republican Party and the Federalist Party. However, by this time, party unity had broken down and the consensus principles of the Era of Good Feelings were giving was to fragmentation. In turn, many historians classify the parties of the Representatives based on how they voted in the Contingent Election of 1825 (where the House determined the winner of the 1824 presidential election), at the end of the 18th Congress, with results similar to those in the following table. Michael J. Dubin classifies candidates based on the political parties supporting them in the elections of 1822-1823 (though he does not provide a nationwide tally).The Democratic-Republican Party benefited heavily from the shifting demographics resulting from the 1820 U.S. Census; they gained 29 of 32 new seats created as a result of redistricting.

Excerpt: Dark blue: French RepublicLight blue: Colonies, mandates, and protectorates of France The French Third Republic (French: , sometimes written as ) was the republican government of France between the end of the Second French Empire (following the defeat of Louis-Napoléon in the Franco-Prussian War) in 1870 and the Vichy Regime after the invasion of France by the German Third Reich in 1940. Adolphe Thiers, recognized as and one who rallied himself to the Republic in the 1870s, called republicanism in the 1870s “the form of government that divides France least”. The Third Republic endured seventy years, making it the longest lasting regime in France since the collapse of the Ancien Régime in the French Revolution of 1789. In 1852, Napoleon III abolished the Second French Republic to become the second Emperor of the French, following the earlier example of his uncle Napoleon I. However, the Second French Empire lasted only eighteen years because of the emergence of the German Empire, which quickly grew to dominate Continental affairs after defeating the French in the Franco-Prussian War. Chancellor Otto von Bismarck of Prussia, who sought to bring his state to ascendancy in Germany, realized that if a unified German state was to be created, some unifying force was needed to bring this about a nationalist war with France seemed the perfect force to bring the other German states into line with Prussia. A resulting German defeat of France would firmly establish the new Germany on the world stage within secure borders. Through clever manipulation of the Ems Dispatch, Bismarck and French |

Excerpt: The Empire State Express was one of the named passenger trains and onetime flagship of the New York Central and Hudson River Railroad (a predecessor of the modern New York Central Railroad). It became the world’s first high-speed passenger train on September 14, 1891, when it covered the 436 miles (702 kilometers) between New York City and Buffalo in just 7 hours and 6 minutes (including stops). The train averaged 61.4 miles-per-hour (98.8 km/h), a new world speed record in rail travel, with an officially-recorded top speed of 82 mph (132 km/h), though observers claimed to have clocked the train at 112 mph (180 km/h), or 180 km/h. In short order, the train would gain worldwide celebrity, and its route would later stretch to 620 miles (998 kilometers), with Cleveland, Ohio as its western terminus. In addition to its other notable accomplishments, the Empire State was the first passenger train to maintain a regular schedule speed of over 52 mph (84 km/h), and the first to make runs of 142.88 miles (230 km) between stops (between New York City and Albany: the longest scheduled nonstop run ever attempted).

Excerpt: Alturas County was a county in Idaho Territory and later the state of Idaho from 1864 to 1895. It covered an area larger than the states of Maryland , New Jersey , and Delaware combined. Most present-day southern Idaho counties were created at least in part from the original Alturas County area. The name Alturas comes from a Spanish word for “mountain summits” or “mountainous heights.”Alturas County was created by the Idaho Territorial Legislature in February 1864. Later that year the mining camp of Rocky Bar was designated the county seat. The county seat was moved to Hailey in 1882.In 1889, the Idaho Territorial Legislature created Elmore County and Logan County from parts of Alturas County. On March 5, 1895, to circumvent a recent state supreme court decision striking down an earlier county reorganization, the Idaho Legislature combined Alturas and Logan Counties into a new county called Blaine. Two weeks later on March 18, the southern portion of the newly-created Blaine County was split off to form Lincoln County with its county seat at Shoshone . Hailey remained the county seat of what was now Blaine County and Alturas County disappeared from the Idaho map.List of extinct U.S. counties , List of Idaho counties Sources A hyperlinked version of this chapter is at The Kingdom of Baol or Bawol in central Senegal was one of the kingdoms that arose from the split-up of the Empire of Jolof (Diolof) in 1555.

Excerpt: The Li Lobanov Treaty or the Sino-Russian Secret Treaty ( ) was a treaty signed on June 3, 1896 in Moscow by foreign minister Alexey Lobanov-Rostovsky and finance minister Sergey Witte on behalf of the Russian Empire and viceroy Li Hongzhang on behalf of China . The two powers concluded a defensive alliance against Japan , pledging mutual support in case of a Japanese attack.The treaty allowed Russia to increase its presence in Northeast China as Russian personnel and police received extraterritorial jurisdiction. It allowed the use of Chinese ports by Russia in the case of war and China’s consent to the construction of the China Eastern Railway (a part of the Trans-Siberian Railway ). The railway was nominally a joint project, but was in reality completely financed and controlled by Russia.China was also not allowed to interfere with Russian troop movements or munitions and also had to grant Russia decreased tariff rates. Russia’s other major demand was delivered in true gunboat diplomacy fashion by a naval fleet in December 1897. China was forced to lease the southern tip of the Liaotung Peninsula to Russia and allow a railway line to be built connecting it to the main Russian line.Construction of the Russian railroads in China increased the anti-foreign anger that came to a head in the Boxer rebellion of 1900. Chinese historians view the period between the Li Lobanov Treaty and the outbreak of the Russo-Japanese War in 1904 as the time of Russia’s domination of the Chinese Northeast region, in political and economical terms.See |

Centred on the cities of Angoche and Moma , the sultanate also had a number of vassal territories surrounding them. They were finally removed from power by the Portuguese colonial government in 1910.The settlement of Angoche dates back to about the start of the sultanate. As one of the first settlements in Mozambique, it became a major trading centre, with important gold and ivory markets. The Sultans of Angoche expanded to rule over all the archipelago, with Angoche serving as the major city of their realm. However, for all its early trade, the city became replaced by Quelimane as a major port. The Sultanate was hurt by the settlement of a new group of people on its hinterland, who blocked access to the mainland and imposed tolls on passing caravans. During this period Angoche suffered from an economic decline, with the Sultans losing their political |

1910s In Greece $21.18 Purchase includes free access to book updates online and a free trial membership in the publisher’s book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Excerpt: The participation of Greece in the Balkan Wars of 19121913 is one of the most important episodes in modern Greek history, as it allowed the Greek state to almost double its size and achieve most of its present territorial size. It also served as a catalyst of political developments, as it brought to prominence two personalities, whose relationship would dominate the next decade and have long-lasting repercussions for Greece: the Prime Minister Eleftherios Venizelos, and the Army’s commander-in-chief, the Crown Prince and later King, Constantine I. In the First Balkan War, Greece was allied with Bulgaria, Serbia and Montenegro in the “Balkan League” against the Ottoman Empire. The war began on 8 October 1912 with the declaration of war by Montenegro, while Greece, Bulgaria and Serbia joined on 17 October 1912. During this war, Greece fought on two fronts on land, and also shouldered the main naval effort of the Balkan allies. The initial principal thrust on land was by the Army of Thessaly, which succeeded in occupying much of Macedonia, including the strategically important port of Thessaloniki, the latter just hours ahead of a Bulgarian division; this would result in increased tension between the two allies in the coming months, and would be one of the causes of the Second Balkan War. Following the successful conclusion of operations in Macedonia, the Greek Army shifted its weight to the Epirus front, where, after a prolonged siege, the city of Ioannina fell, and the Greeks advanced into “Northern Epirus” (modern southern Albania). In the Aegean Sea, the Greek Navy took possession of all the Aegean islands except for the Italian-occupied Dodecanese, and fought off two attempts by the Ottoman Navy to sally forth from the Dardanelles.

Chapters: States and Territories Established in 1916, Kingdom of Poland, British Togoland, French Togoland, Kingdom of Hejaz. Not illustrated. Excerpt: The Kingdom of Poland, also informally called Regency Kingdom of Poland (Polish: ), was the state proposed by the Act of November 5, 1916 issued by Imperial Germany and Austria-Hungary. It was to be created within the former Russian territory of Vistula Land (however with no defined borders) in 1916 and would exist as a client or puppet state of the German Empire. The proposal never gained much support in Germany and in reality was aimed only at gaining a Polish Army for the Central Powers. It was succeeded by the Second Polish Republic. The Regency Council never managed to elect a new monarch and never gained much significance, as its movements were inhibited by the German Governor General, Hans Hartwig von Beseler. On November 11, 1918 it ceded all responsibilities to Józef Pisudski and dissolved itself three days later. The Regents of Poland, from left to right: Dr. Ostrowski, Cardinal Kakowski, Prince Lubomirski, with some officers of Polish Armed Forces The declaration of the German and Habsburg emperors allowed the creation of the Regency Council (Polish: ) which was given limited administration over territories occupied by Germany and was to elect a new monarch. One early candidate was the Austrian Archduke Charles Stephen (Polish: ), whose two daughters were married to Polish aristocrats: Prince Olgierd Czartoryski and Prince Hieronim Radziwi. He spoke fluent Polish and resided in ywiec in Galicia. The Archduke was more than willing to accept the crown, but as a member of Imperial House of Austria he needed permission from Kaiser und König Charles I, who hesitated, having planned to assume |

Not illustrated. Excerpt: The Lansing-Ishii Agreement Ishii-Ranshingu Kytei) was a diplomatic note signed between the United States and the Empire of Japan on 2 November 1917 over their disputes with regards to China. In the published text of the Agreement, signed by United States Secretary of State Robert Lansing and Japanese special envoy Ishii Kikujir, both parties pledged to uphold the Open Door policy in China, with respect to its territorial and administrative integrity. However, the United States government also acknowledged that Japan had special interests in China due to its geographic proximity, especially in those areas of China adjacent to Japanese territory, which was in effect, a contradiction to the Open Door Policy. In a secret protocol attached to the public Agreement, both parties agreed not to take advantage of the special opportunities presented by World War I to seek special rights or privileges in China at the expense of other nations allied in the war effort against Germany. At the time, the Lansing-Ishii Agreement was touted as evidence that Japan and the United States had laid to rest their increasingly acrimonious rivalry over China, and the Agreement was hailed as a landmark in U.S.-Japan relations. However, critics soon realized that the vagueness and differing possible interpretations of the Agreement meant that nothing had really been decided after two months of talks. The Lansing-Ishii Agreement was abrogated in April 1923, when it was replaced by the Nine-Power Treaty. … More: http://booksllc.net/?id=193788 |

1918 Works $28.2 Purchase includes free access to book updates online and a free trial membership in the publisher’s book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Excerpt: The Fourteen Points was a speech delivered by United States President Woodrow Wilson to a joint session of Congress on January 8, 1918. The address was intended to assure the country that the Great War was being fought for a moral cause and for postwar peace in Europe. People in Europe generally welcomed Wilson’s intervention, but his Allied colleagues (Georges Clemenceau, David Lloyd George and Vittorio Emanuele Orlando) were skeptical of the applicability of Wilsonian idealism. The speech was delivered 10 months before the armistice with the German Empire ended the Great War. The Fourteen Points became the basis for the terms of the German surrender, as negotiated at the Paris Peace Conference in 1919. The Treaty of Versailles had little to do with the Fourteen Points and so was never ratified by the U.S. Senate. The U.S. joined the Allies in fighting the Central Powers on April 6, 1917. By early 1918 it was clear that the war was nearing its end. The Fourteen Points in the speech were based on the research of the Inquiry, a team of about 150 advisors led by foreign-policy advisor Edward M. House into the topics likely to arise in the anticipated peace conference. Wilson’s speech on January 8, 1918, took many of the principles of progressivism that had produced domestic reform in the U.S. and translated them into foreign policy (free trade, open agreements, democracy and self-determination). The Fourteen Points speech was the only explicit statement of war aims by any of the nations fighting in World War I, some belligerents gave general indications of their aims, others refused to state their aims. The speech also responded to Vladimir Lenin’s Decree on Peace of October 1917, which proposed an immediate withdrawal of Russia from the war, c… More: |

He was found dead two days later from malnutrition and exposure. Thomas decided not to limit the number of children he helped. From that time on the home bore the sign ‘No Destitute Boy Ever Refused Admission’. The ever-open door at 10 Stepney Causeway opened in 1874 for homeless children.

Excerpt: The Vilna Troupe (also known as Vilner Troupe; Lithuanian: Vilniaus trup; Romanian: Trupa din Vilna) also known as Fareyn Fun Yiddishe Dramatishe Artistn (FADO, Federation of Yiddish Dramatic Actors) and later Dram i Comedie (“Drama and Comedy”) was an international and mostly Yiddish-speaking theatrical company, one of the most famous in the history of Yiddish theater. It was formed in and named after Vilnius (Vilna), a city which was then part of the Russian Empire and is now the capital of Lithuania. Distinctly modernist, and strongly influenced by Russian literature and by the ideas of Konstantin Stanislavski, their travels in Western Europe and later to Romania played a significant role in the dissemination of a disciplined approach to acting that continues to be influential down to the present day. Founded in 1915 or 1916 in the midst of World War I, the troupe began with the deserted Vilna State Theatre as their base, toured Kovno, Bialystock and Grodno, and soon moved to the Polish capital, Warsaw. Their repertoire epitomized the second golden age of Yiddish theater, with works by S. Ansky… More: |

Excerpt: Elections were held in the Australian state of Queensland on 2 April 1938 to elect the 62 members of the state’s Legislative Assembly . The Labor government of Premier William Forgan Smith was seeking a third term in office. During the previous term, the Country and United Australia parties had emerged out of the united Country and Progressive National Party , which had represented conservative forces for over a decade.The most notable feature of the election campaign was the Protestant Labor Party , established in 1937, which claimed that the Forgan Smith Ministry was disproportionately Catholic and made extravagant claims that three-quarters of all police and public servants in the State were Catholic. Despite the campaign, Labor only lost one seat, Kelvin Grove, to the party.The unsuccessful Protestant Labor candidate for Ithaca, George Webb, lodged a petition against the return of Labor member Ned Hanlon . He was initially successful in the Supreme Court when the case was heard by Justice E.A. Douglas, who voided the election result on 12 October on the basis of a finding that two men who had acted improperly were Hanlon’s agents, but Hanlon appealed to the Full Bench of the Supreme Court and on 16 December 1938, his appeal was allowed. A further appeal by Webb to the High Court was refused leave on 31 March 1939. Key dates Date: Event Results |

Excerpt: The Volkswagen Type 2 (also officially known as Transporter or informally as Bus) was the second automotive line introduced by German automaker Volkswagen. It was a panel van introduced in 1950, initially based on Volkswagen’s first model, the Type 1, the economy car also known as the “Beetle”. The Type 2 is the forerunner of modern cargo and passenger vans. The Type 2 spawned a number of imitators, both in the United States and Europe, including the Ford Econoline, Dodge A100, and the Corvair 95 Corvan, the last even adopting the Type 2′s rear-engine configuration. As of January 2010, updated versions of this line are produced for international markets, both as a passenger and cargo van, and as a pickup truck. It is also unofficially known as a “microbus”, a “minibus” or “hippie van,” the latter due to its popularity with the 1960s/70s counterculture movement. The idea for the Type 2 is credited to Dutch Volkswagen importer Ben Pon. (It has similarities in conce… More: |

Chapters: Austria in the Time of National Socialism, Wirtschaftswunder, Federal State of Austria, Arbeitsgemeinschaft Der Optanten Für Deutschland, Ukrainian Austrian Internment, Austrian Social Scientists in Exile 1933-1945. Excerpt: The Arbeitsgemeinschaft der Optanten für Deutschland (German for Association of optants for Germany ), abbreviated ADO, was an association for German speakers who, according to the South Tyrol Option Agreement (shortly Option ) between Mussolini and Hitler , had chosen to emigrate to Germany rather than stay in South Tyrol and become italianized (see Italianization of South Tyrol ). The association was founded on 30 January 1940.Background The southern part of Tyrol , an almost exclusively German speaking area of the Austrian Empire , was occupied by Italy at the end of World War I. Between 1928 and 1939 various resistance groups formed in the province to fight the fascist Italian regime and its policy of suppressing the German language. Children were taught the prohibited German language in clandestine catacombe schools and Catholic media and associations resisted the forced integration under the protection of the Vatican . The underground resistance movement, the Völkischer Kampfring Südtirols , was formed by a Nazi party member, Peter Hofer .South Tyrol Option Agreement When Hitler and Mussolini reached an agreement on the assimilation of the German and Ladin speaking minorities, the so-called Option was put forward. The South Tyroleans had to choose between remaining in Fascist Italy or emigrating to the Third Reich . All those in favour of leaving were allowed to take German classes and take part in Tyrolean associations again.Peter Hofer, with the help of the German authorities, transformed the VKS in to the ADO and organised |

224 in Politics: States and Territories Established in 224, Sassanid Empire, Kilwa Empire $14.14 Purchase includes free access to book updates online and a free trial membership in the publisher’s book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Chapters: States and Territories Established in 224, Sassanid Empire, Kilwa Empire. Excerpt: The Kilwa Empire was part of a larger empire built by the Bazrangids . It became an independent geopolitical entity after Ardashir I of the Sassanid Empire conquered its parent Bazrangi state in southern Persia in AD 224. Emperor Ardashir’s successor, Shapur I , annexed the southern shores of the Persian Gulf , as well as the region of Muscat on the Indian Ocean . This led to the removal of all final vestiges of Bazrangi independence on the Asian continent.Zoroastrian fire temples within the Kilwa Empire were preserved as a result of Bazrangi custodians. Sassanian sources, which include rock inscriptions and documents, discuss how the Bazrangids served important custodial functions at the Great Temple of the goddess Anahita in Istakhr (near Persepolis ). The Kilwa Empire prospered even during the early Islamic era. However, the capital city of Kilwa was under siege by members of the native populations of East Africa. The city fell and nearly 2000 of its inhabitants were devoured in a single week. In 980, the Zanj Empire was founded by Ali ibn Hasan and succeeded the Kilwa Empire.Recent archaeological excavations in the old Kilwa imperial sites such as Unguja Ukuu, Tumbatu, Mtambwe, and Mkumbuu are shedding new light on the history of the Bazrangid founded Kilwa Empire and its status as a maritime power.Sources Websites (URLs online) A hyperlinked version of this chapter is at item r n/ r nshahr ( / ) () Sassanid Empire item The Sassanid Empire at its apogee, under king Khosrau II (610 CE) item Capital : Ardashir-Khwarrah (early) Ctesiphon item Language(s) : Middle Persian item Religion : Zoroastrianism item Government : Absolute Monarchy item Shahenshah item – 224-241: |

Excerpt: The Bar Kokhba revolt (132136; Hebrew : or mered bar kokhba ) against the Roman Empire was the third major rebellion by the Jews of Iudaea Province (also spelled Judaea ) and the last of the Jewish-Roman Wars . Simon bar Kokhba , the commander of the revolt, was acclaimed as a Messiah , a heroic figure who could restore Israel. The revolt established an independent state of Israel over parts of Judea for over two years, but a Roman army of 12 legions with auxiliaries finally crushed it. The Romans then barred Jews from Jerusalem, except to attend Tisha B’Av . Jewish Christians hailed Jesus as the Messiah and did not support Bar Kokhba. They were barred from Jerusalem along with the rest of the Jews. The war and its aftermath helped differentiate Christianity as a religion distinct from Judaism, see also List of events in early Christianity . The revolt is also known as The Second Jewish-Roman War , The Second Jewish Revolt , The Third Jewish-Roman War or The Third Jewish Revolt (counting the Kitos War , 115 – 117, as second).Background After the failed Great Jewish Revolt in the year 70, the Roman authorities took measures to suppress the rebellious province. Instead of a procurator , they installed a praetor as a governor and stationed an entire legion , the X Fretensis . Because the Revolt had resulted in the destruction of Jerusalem , the Sanhedrin at Yavne provided spiritual guidance for the Jewish nation, both in Judea and throughout the Jewish diaspora .In 130, Emperor Hadrian visited the ruins of Jerusalem .
