Book excerpt: More than just colorful clickbait or pragmatic city grids, maps are often deeply emotional tales: of political projects gone wrong, budding relationships that failed, and countries that vanished. In Map Men, Steven Seegel takes us through some of these historical dramas with a detailed look at the maps that made and unmade the world of East Central Europe through a long continuum of world war and revolution. As a collective biography of five prominent geographers between 1870 and 1950—Albrecht Penck, Eugeniusz Romer, Stepan Rudnyts’kyi, Isaiah Bowman, and Count Pál Teleki—Map Men reexamines the deep emotions, textures of friendship, and multigenerational sagas behind these influential maps. Taking us deep into cartographical archives, Seegel re-creates the public and private worlds of these five mapmakers, who interacted with and influenced one another even as they played key roles in defining and redefining borders, territories, nations—and, ultimately, the interconnection of the world through two world wars. Throughout, he examines the transnational nature of these processes and addresses weighty questions about the causes and consequences of the world wars, the rise of Nazism and Stalinism, and the reasons East Central Europe became the fault line of these world-changing developments. At a time when East Central Europe has surged back into geopolitical consciousness, Map Men offers a timely and important look at the historical origins of how the region was defined—and the key people who helped define it.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Der Erste Weltkrieg und die nachfolgende Friedensordnung veränderten historisch gewachsene Regionen und Siedlungsgemeinschaften in Ostmittel-, Ost- und Südosteuropa nachhaltig. Während lang gehegte nationale Aspirationen verwirklicht werden konnten und die neuen Staatsvölker in Aufbruchstimmung versetzten, wurden vormalige Staatsvölker zu Minderheiten und begriffen ihre neue Situation als krisenhaft; dies galt insbesondere für die Deutschen im östlichen Europa. Die Auseinandersetzung mit dem Krieg und seinen Auswirkungen in Politik, Wirtschaft und Gesellschaft prägte die Zwischenkriegszeit. Aufbruchstimmung und Krisenerfahrung spiegelten sich im Widerstreit zwischen modernen Bestrebungen und rückwärtsgewandten Ideologien - vor allem auch auf kulturellem Gebiet in Literatur, Architektur, bildender Kunst, in Film, Theater und Wissenschaften. In Fallstudien analysieren die Beiträge des vorliegenden Bandes individuell geformte, gesellschaftlich bedingte sowie staatlich gelenkte Strategien der Auseinandersetzung mit der Nachkriegssituation in Ostmitteleuropa.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Die Geschichte Polens in der Zwischenkriegszeit als Teil einer europäischen Verflechtungsgeschichte. Ein großer Teil der politischen Eliten des polnischen Staates, der 1918 seine Unabhängigkeit zurückgewann, war schon vor dem Ersten Weltkrieg unter der Herrschaft der Teilungsmächte politisch aktiv gewesen. Sie waren von den unterschiedlichen Bedingungen geprägt, die für Polen im Deutschen Reich, der Habsburgermonarchie und im Zarenreich bestanden. Die Beiträger gehen anhand der polnischen Zweiten Republik der Frage nach, in welcher Weise frühere politische Grenzen nach ihrem Verschwinden als Phantomgrenzen fortwirken und die politischen Verhältnisse weiter prägen.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the spring of 1945, Fuhrer and Reich Chancellor Adolf Hitler, President Edvard Benes, and Marshal Josip Broz Tito stood as examples of the complete rupture between the Germans and Austrians on the one hand, and the Czechs, Slovaks, Slovenes, Croats, Serbs, and Bosniaks on the other. The total break that occurred in World War II with war crimes, crimes against humanity, and even genocides (particularly against the Jews and "Gypsies") had a long pre-history, beginning with violent nationalist clashes in the Habsburg Monarchy during the revolutions of 1848/49. Therefore, this monograph - based on a broad range of international primary and secondary sources - explores the development of the political, legal, economic, social, and cultural "communities of conflict" within Austria-Hungary, especially in the Bohemian and South Slavic countries, the making of the Paris Peace Treaties in 1919/20 by violating President Wilson's principle of self-determination, particularly in drawing new borders and creating new economic units, and the perpetuated ethnic-national conflicts between Czechs and Germans, Slovaks and Magyars, Slovenes and Germans, Croats and Serbs as well as Serbs and Germans in the successor states, deepening the differences between the nations of East-Central Europe. Although many kings, presidents, chancellors, ministers, governors, diplomats, business tycoons, generals, Nazi-Gauleiter, higher SS and police leaders, and Communist functionaries have appeared as historical actors in the 170 years of East-Central and Southeastern European history, Hitler, Benes, and Tito remain especially present in historical memory at the beginning of the twenty-first century.
