This book was released on 2017-12-20 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Reconstruction of South-Eastern Europe The German militarists, in so far as they have not themselves been deceived, obviously sought to prolong and fortify the power of their caste, to justify their dominion over the obedient masses of the German people; and by adding to Germany some new provinces of the Empire as alsace-lorraine was added some forty-five years ago-they hoped to prolong the influence and the policy of their own party under the pretext that the Fatherland was menaced by the revengefulness of France or some other nation. On the other side, the Allies, at the very outset of the present world-struggle, proclaimed that they were fighting for a high European ideal for the liberties and independence of the small nations in Europe. The long-neglected rights of the smaller and weaker nations were at last to be recognised, and the new Europe was going to be based, not on the temporary equipoise of might, but on the solid and enduring basis of the equality of rights.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Germany and Eastern Europe In the many English books and pamphlets which owe their origin to the present war and are concerned with exhibiting its causes and its meaning there is a general and very natural tendency to lay special stress upon those aspects of European history which are most familiar to Western observers and have the most direct bearing upon the fortunes of the Western Powers. Thus the war is sometimes depicted as the inevitable consequence of the seizure of Alsace-Lorraine by Germany, sometimes as the product of the German desire for a Colonial Empire, sometimes as a combination of both causes. Even when authors have dwelt upon the Balkan problem, with its widely ramifying consequences throughout the Slavonic world, they have seldom been inclined to assign to it any preponderant weight among the causes which produced the war.

Download or read book Staged Otherness written by Dagnosław Demski and published by Central European University Press. This book was released on 2021-12-22 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The cultural phenomenon of exhibiting non-European people in front of the European audiences in the 19th and 20th century was concentrated in the metropolises in the western part of the continent. Nevertheless, traveling ethnic troupes and temporary exhibitions of non-European humans took place also in territories located to the east of the Oder river and Austria. The contributors to this edited volume present practices of ethnographic shows in Russia, Poland, Czechia, Slovenia, Hungary, Germany, Romania, and Austria and discuss the reactions of local audiences. The essays offer critical arguments to rethink narratives of cultural encounters in the context of ethnic shows. By demonstrating the many ways in which the western models and customs were reshaped, developed, and contested in Central and Eastern European contexts, the authors argue that the dominant way of characterizing these performances as “human zoos” is too narrow. The contributors had to tackle the difficult task of finding traces other than faint copies of official press releases by the tour organizers. The original source material was drawn from local archives, museums, and newspapers of the discussed period. A unique feature of the volume is the rich amount of images that complement every single case study of ethnic shows.
Download or read book Russia Germany and the Eastern Question Classic Reprint written by Gustav Diezel and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-04 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Russia, Germany, and the Eastern Question The inauspicious experiences of the last few years have already in many minds given birth to such painful misgivings as to our own strength, and to such exaggerated notions as to the power of Russia, that. Our impending abasement by this power, which is represented as advancing under the form of inex orable destiny, has been unreservedly prognosti cated 3 and the regeneration of Europe through means of Russia has been pointed out as the last hope remaining to us. On the other hand many persons who either pretend to, or sincerely entertain a very contemptuous opinion of the colossus with the feet of clay, treat the matter so lightly, 0p posing to the most evident and most incontestable facts nothing but empty words and hackneyed phrases, that the contrary hopes and fears are only confirmed by their manner of proceeding. It is high time to form a clear conception of the Busman state, with its enormous pretensions and the founda tion on which alone these can be based, and to con sider with unbiassed mind what is the position of Western Europe, and more particularly of Germany, in relation to this state. The foundation on which the Russian state may be said to have been erected rather than to have arisen, is the Russian nation-a ality.

Download or read book The New Eastern Europe Classic Reprint written by Ralph Butler and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-21 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The New Eastern Europe A new Balkans has been created in Eastern Europe and no diplomatic reversal of the Treaty of Brest can reverse the facts of the situation. The Ukraine may join with Russia again, for Little Russia is one of All the Russias after all. But the non-russian, non-orthodox races of the Borderland, Finns, Balts, Letts, Esths, Lithuanians, Poles, are now launched for good or bad on an independent career. Hitherto they have been held in artificial equilibrium by the presence of the German armies. Now these are being withdrawn, and there is beginning to ensue, as in the Balkans when the Turkish power was removed, a jostling of infant nationalities struggling to find their feet. The young Balkan States could look to powerful neighbours, Austria on the one hand and Russia on the other, for support; and the rest of Europe could preserve the peace of the Balkans, tant bien que ml, by balancing the rival influences of these two Powers. But the two great neighbours of the new Eastern Europe are both in collapse: and the friction between the several States has a free field. Force, in the shape of international Armies of Occupation, can no doubt hold it in suspense, as the austro-german Occupation held it in suspense. But a mistake will be made if it is supposed that it can be dissipated by force - still less by diplomatic machinery. Friction in the case of young Nationalisms in conflict is a process of biological growth. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Christianity and Modernity in Eastern Europe written by Bruce R. Berglund and published by Central European University Press. This book was released on 2010-01-01 with total page 404 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Disgraceful collusion. Heroic resistance. Suppression of faith. Perseverance of convictions. The story of Christianity in twentieth-century Eastern Europe is often told in stark scenes of tragedy and triumph. Overlooked in the retelling of these dramas is how the region's clergy and lay believers lived their faith, acted within religious and political institutions, and adapted their traditions---while struggling to make sense of a changing world. The contributors to this volume, coming from the U.S. and Western and Eastern Europe, look beyond the narratives of resistance and collaboration. They offer surprising new evidence from archives and oral history interviews, and they provide fresh interpretations of Christianity as it was lived and expressed in modern Europe: from religiosity in the industrial cities of the late nineteenth century to current debates over immigration and European identity; from theological debates in East Germany to folk healing in post-socialist Bulgaria; and, counter-intuitively, from religious fervor among the Czechs to indifference among the Poles. Addressing Christianity in diverse forms---Orthodox, Protestant, Roman and Greek Catholic---as an integral part of the region's politics, society, and culture, this collection is a major addition to studies of both Eastern Europe and religion in the twentieth century. "A volume that specialists in the history of Christianity in other regions of the world will read with great interest, and a degree of envy. As an historian of religion in Western Europe, I can say that although there is a vast literature on the religious history of the nineteenth century and a growing literature on the twentieth century, there is nothing quite like this." From the Foreword by Hugh McLeod, author of The Religious Crisis of the 1960s. "This is a path-breaking book in two different ways. It contributes to the re-evaluation of the nature of modern European religion generally, and to the nature of religion in the modern world." Jeffrey Cox, University of Iowa, author of Imperial Fault Lines: Christianity and Colonial Power in India.

Download or read book The Routledge History of East Central Europe since 1700 written by Irina Livezeanu and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-03-16 with total page 722 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Covering territory from Russia in the east to Germany and Austria in the west, The Routledge History of East Central Europe since 1700 explores the origins and evolution of modernity in this turbulent region. This book applies fresh critical approaches to major historical controversies and debates, expanding the study of a region that has experienced persistent and profound change and yet has long been dominated by narrowly nationalist interpretations. Written by an international team of contributors that reflects the increasing globalization and pluralism of East Central European studies, chapters discuss key themes such as economic development, the relationship between religion and ethnicity, the intersection between culture and imperial, national, wartime, and revolutionary political agendas, migration, women’s and gender history, ideologies and political movements, the legacy of communism, and the ways in which various states in East Central Europe deployed and were formed by the politics of memory and commemoration. This book uses new methodologies in order to fundamentally reshape perspectives on the development of East Central Europe over the past three centuries. Transnational and comparative in approach, this volume presents the latest research on the social, cultural, political and economic history of modern East Central Europe, providing an analytical and comprehensive overview for all students of this region.
Download or read book German Policy Before the War Classic Reprint written by G. W. Prothero and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from German Policy Before the War The following pages are somewhat expanded, especially in the latter part, from notes of a lecture given before the Royal Historical Society in January last year. The main thesis which I endeavoured then to put before my audience, namely that the establishment of German influence in the Balkans and in the Turkish Empire is the fundamental object of German policy, appears to me to have received corroboration from recent events in south-eastern Europe. These events are not to be regarded as some have regarded them, as afterthoughts, or as the desperate efforts of a Power thwarted in other directions on the contrary they are incidents in the execution of a plan conceived long ago, to which the crushing, or - ii that proved impossible - the maim ing, of France and Russia was but the necessary preliminary step. I desire to express my gratitude to Mr. Lucien Wolf for valuable assistance given me in regard to the last three chapters.

Download or read book Blood and Homeland written by Marius Turda and published by Central European University Press. This book was released on 2007-01-01 with total page 486 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The history of eugenics and racial nationalism in Central and Southeast Europe is a neglected topic of analysis in contemporary scholarship. Moreover, national historiographies in Central and Southeast Europe have either marginalized eugenics and racial nationalism or deemed them incompatible with their respective national traditions. Accordingly, this volume has a two-fold ambition: to excavate the hitherto unknown eugenic movements in Central and Southeast Europe and to explain their relationship with racism, nationalism and anti-Semitism. On the one hand, the historiographic perspective substantiated in this volume connects developments in the history of racial anthropology, genetics and eugenics with political ideologies such as racial nationalism and anti-Semitism; on the other hand, it contests the 'Sonderweg' approach adopted by scholars dealing these phenomena in Central and Southeast Europe by arguing that concerns with eugenics and race were as widely disseminated in these regions as they were in Western Europe and North America.

Download or read book The Legacy of Division written by Ferenc Laczó and published by Central European University Press. This book was released on 2020-10-15 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume examines the legacy of the East–West divide since the implosion of the communist regimes in Europe. The ideals of 1989 have largely been frustrated by the crises and turmoil of the past decade. The liberal consensus was first challenged as early as the mid-2000s. In Eastern Europe, grievances were directed against the prevailing narratives of transition and ever sharper ethnic-racial antipathies surfaced in opposition to a supposedly postnational and multicultural West. In Western Europe, voices regretting the European Union's supposedly careless and premature expansion eastward began to appear on both sides of the left–right and liberal–conservative divides. The possibility of convergence between Europe's two halves has been reconceived as a threat to the European project. In a series of original essays and conversations, thirty-three contributors from the fields of European and global history, politics and culture address questions fundamental to our understanding of Europe today: How have perceptions and misperceptions between the two halves of the continent changed over the last three decades? Can one speak of a new East–West split? If so, what characterizes it and why has it reemerged? The contributions demonstrate a great variety of approaches, perspectives, emphases, and arguments in addressing the daunting dilemma of Europe's assumed East–West divide.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lithuania and White Ruthenia Geographically, the continent of Europe is a large peninsula with three smaller peninsulas in the South. The chief body of the European peninsula has been in history the field of the growth of the German Empire, which is separated from the plateau of Great Russia by a very characteristic isthmus, containing the basins of seven great rivers the Oder, the Vistula, the Niemen, the Duna, the Dniester, the Bob and the Dnieper. This isthmus between Western and Eastern Europe is one geographical whole, very different in every respect from the country farther east. There is a smaller difference in climate between Breslau and Kieff, than between Kieff and Moscow, and also in every other respect the country west of the Dnieper has belonged for centuries to Western Europe, while beyond the Dnieper began already Asia with its despotic political formations, where the subject populations have no active participation ln the decisions of their rulers.
