Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This superb history summarizes the major events and upheavals in the regions of Alsace and Lorraine, from ancient times to the late 19th century. Accompanied by maps and citing sources which date back through the ages, this history of the Alsace and Lorraine provinces is well-composed. At the time this account was published in 1914, the two regions had spent years in the geopolitical limelight; since parts of both were annexed by Germany in the 1870s, resentments had simmered in France about the annexation. As tensions rose in the years precluding World War One, the provinces became emblematic of rising discontentment between the European powers. Yet as Ruth Putnam demonstrates, the history of Alsace and Lorraine is long and storied, with the establishment of French and German cultural heritages in the regions a complex and nuanced matter. Their status was important as far back as Julius Caesar's conquest of Gaul; noting the Germanic tribes nearby and their continuous migrations, the Roman leader had to consider them as he sought to establish Rome's presence. Further contest between various monarchs and regional rulers occurred through the medieval era and after the Renaissance.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "ALSACE AND LORRAINE. During forty-three years these two names have been linked together in a neat phrase. Under that verbal yoke they passed, as the result of the fortunes of war, from one political framework to another. But the two applied to distinct entities. The gradual evolution of each into a semblance of unity out of a congeries of private estates and ecclesiastical foundations, the liege lords they acquired or found imposed upon them, mediate or immediate, the resources, characteristics, customs of each belong to different stories, though sometimes, indeed, containing similar chapters. Alsace and Lorraine were alike in being tiny buffer territories, occasionally little more than geographical expressions, wedged between big “interests.” Both have suffered as shuttlecocks under blows of battledores from the east and the west. Here are in brief the stories of each." This classic contains the following chapters: Alsace and Lorraine Alsace I. Romans, Gauls, and Others on the Soil of Alsace II. The Treaty of Verdun and Other Pacts Affecting Alsace III. The Dream of a Middle Kingdom IV. The People of Alsace in the Fifteenth Century and After V.

Download or read book The Franco Texan Land Company written by Virginia H. Taylor and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 2011-05-18 with total page 367 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Franco-Texan Land Company was formed, ostensibly, by the French bondholders of the Memphis, El Paso, and Pacific Railroad in an attempt to salvage their investments through sale of lands in the railroad's Texas land grant. Most of the land company's wealth, however, went into the pockets of unscrupulous local managers and directors, and another railroad eventually built a road across Texas along the Memphis, El Paso, and Pacific right of way. Despite their unsavory histories, the land company and its railroad parent played an important part in the development of Northwest Texas. Virginia Taylor's account of their activities furthers the study of the role of land companies in the settlement of the United States and adds interesting sidelights on one of the immigrant groups that left the imprint of Europe on frontier Texas.

Download or read book The Right of Conquest written by Sharon Korman and published by Clarendon Press. This book was released on 1996-10-31 with total page 358 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is an enquiry into the place of the right of conquest in international relations since the early sixteenth century, and the causes and consequences of its demise in the twentieth century. It was a recognized principle of international law until the early years of this century that a state that emerges victorious in a war is entitled to claim sovereignty over territory which it has taken possession. Sharon Korman shows how the First World War - which led to the rise of self-determination and to calls for the prohibition of way - prompted the reconstruction of international law and the consequent abolition of the title by conquest. Her conclusion, which highlights the merits and defects of the modern law as a vehicle for discouraging war by denying the title to the conqueror, challenges many of the assumptions that have come to constitute part of the conventional wisdom of our times. This is a study, not of international law narrowly conceived, but of the place of a changing legal principle in international history and the contemporary world.
