This book was released on 2000-01-01 with total page 221 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The attitude of the American government towards the Finnish problem, which appeared on the international stage after the outbreak of the First World War, was determined by factors going far beyond bilateral contacts. It was directly linked with American war-time and post-war policy towards Russia, Germany and the problem of supplying Europe with food. The Finnish proclamation of independence, the outbreak of the Finnish civil war and, later, the drawing of this country into the sphere of influence created by Berlin in Central Europe caused Finnish-American relations to stagnate and ultimately to be frozen for several months. The State Department considered whether Finland should be recognised as one of enemies of the United States, while the Finnish government, convinced that the future of Finland should be linked with German victory in the World War, showed no desire to activate political contacts between Helsinki and Washington. The reorientation of Finnish policy created by the military defeat of Germany, however, created conditions for the gradual stabilisation of Finnish-American economic and, later, political relations. Improvement in mutual contacts between both states was ultimately crowned by the initiative of American diplomacy which resulted in the recognition of Finland by the Big Five powers during the Paris Peace Conference in 1919.

This book was released on 2008 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2008 in the subject History Europe - Other Countries - Ages of World Wars, grade: 2,0, Turun Yliopisto (University of Turku) (Faculty of Humanities/Baltic Sea Region Studies Program, University of Turku), course: The United States and Northern Europe - Diplomatic Relations since 1918, 5 entries in the bibliography, language: English, abstract: In the early years of Finnish independence from 1917 on, Finnish foreign policy was tied to two major problems. First, the White Finnish Government was seeking to obtain international recognition for the new state. Secondly, more urgent and immediate, it had to get access to foreign supplies of foodstuff since the quality of nourishing in Finland had become devastatingly low in the young republic. In this term paper I wish to attempt an explanation of Finland's policy during her early years of independence and put her diplomacy into its historical context and comparing her interests with that of the U.S.A. and Germany. In my opinion, these were the countries, besides Russia, that influenced Finland's policy the most during that period.

Download or read book A Companion to the Russian Revolution written by Daniel Orlovsky and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2020-10-19 with total page 498 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A compendium of original essays and contemporary viewpoints on the 1917 Revolution The Russian revolution of 1917 reverberated throughout an empire that covered one-sixth of the world. It altered the geo-political landscape of not only Eurasia, but of the entire globe. The impact of this immense event is still felt in the present day. The historiography of the last two decades has challenged conceptions of the 1917 revolution as a monolithic entity— the causes and meanings of revolution are many, as is reflected in contemporary scholarship on the subject. A Companion to the Russian Revolution offers more than thirty original essays, written by a team of respected scholars and historians of 20th century Russian history. Presenting a wide range of contemporary perspectives, the Companion discusses topics including the dynamics of violence in war and revolution, Russian political parties, the transformation of the Orthodox church, Bolshevism, Liberalism, and more. Although primarily focused on 1917 itself, and the singular Revolutionary experience in that year, this book also explores time-periods such as the First Russian Revolution, early Soviet government, the Civil War period, and even into the 1920’s. Presents a wide range of original essays that discuss Brings together in-depth coverage of political history, party history, cultural history, and new social approaches Explores the long-range causes, influence on early Soviet culture, and global after-life of the Russian Revolution Offers broadly-conceived, contemporary views of the revolution largely based on the author’s original research Links Russian revolutions to Russian Civil Wars as concepts A Companion to the Russian Revolution is an important addition to modern scholarship on the subject, and a valuable resource for those interested in Russian, Late Imperial, or Soviet history as well as anyone interested in Revolution as a global phenomenon.

Download or read book How America Compares written by Rodney Tiffen and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2019-11-13 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a reference work with an encyclopedic range, offering contemporary and systematic comparisons between the United States and 17 other economically advanced, stable liberal democracies, as well as some more global comparisons. It offers international data on as many aspects of social life as possible, from taxation to traffic accidents, homicide rates to health expenditure, and interest rates to internet usage. Wherever possible, it offers not only the most recent available data but also trends over decades. The discussion focuses on changes over time and comparisons between countries. Sometimes the contrasts are striking; sometimes the commonalities are more instructive. Often national political debates are conducted in a vacuum, and examining comparative data on policies, performance, and prospects can give a better perspective.
