Download or read book Fateful Years 1909 1916 the Reminiscences of Serge Sazonov G C B G C V O Russian Minister for Foreign Affairs written by Serge Sazonov and published by Ishi Press. This book was released on 2008-05-01 with total page 327 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Here are the Memoirs of the man who is widely credited or blamed for starting World War I, a war he still felt, ten years after the conclusion of this horrific and pointless struggle, was necessary to preserve the "National Honor" of Russia. These memoirs of Russia's Minister for Foreign Affairs during the crucial period from 1909 through 1916 and the downfall of the Empire were completed shortly before Sazonov's death in December, 1927 Sazonov was called to St. Petersburg as under-Secretary of State in 1909 and made Foreign Minister in 1910, just at the time the Kaiser had given up the idea of drawing Russia into an alliance against France and Britain. He served Russia through her momentous war years and in January, 1917, was appointed Ambassador to England, but was recalled on the eve of his departure for London. The Czar was overthrown shortly afterward. Royalist to the core, Sazonov declined to recognize the Bolsheviki and became Foreign Minister of the counter-revolutionary Omsk government after the October revolution in 1917. SAZONOV'S reminiscences go back far enough to give in detail the whole puzzling and complex situation in the Near East and serve as a key to the intricate and involved Balkan policy of Austria-Hungary. A surprising amount of secret negotiations, diplomatic trickery and subterfuge leading to the great struggle, is here revealed in easily understandable terms, making one of the most readable volumes that have come out of the war.

Download or read book Italo Turkish Diplomacy and the War Over Libya written by Timothy Winston Childs and published by BRILL. This book was released on 1990 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1911 Italy, an aspiring Great Power, attacked Ottoman Libya. Italian diplomacy had long anticipated this attack, but Italy's military was ill-prepared for it. The Ottoman Empire, distracted by internal dissension and by the expansionist designs of its Balkan neighbours, was woefully unready. This study examines how the belligerents dealt with the military and diplomatic stalemates into which the Libyan War degenerated, stalemates which were ended only by the outbreak of the First Balkan War in 1912, when the Ottomans were obliged to make peace with Italy to face more dangerous enemies nearer home. The Italo-Turkish War was the first armed clash between the lesser Great Powers immediately before 1914, leading inexorably to the deterioration of the Balkan situation and to Sarajevo. This is the first study based on the archives of the Ottoman Foreign Ministry for the period, as well as on better-known Italian sources.
Download or read book Hidden History written by Gerry Docherty and published by Random House. This book was released on 2013-07-04 with total page 374 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Think you know about British history and the causes of the First World War? Think again. This fascinating and gripping study of events at the turn of the Twentieth Century is a remarkable insight into how political and social factors that we widely accept to be the causes of The Great War, were really just a construct put together by a very small, but powerful, political elite... 'Thought-provoking . . . Docherty and Macgregor do not mince their words . . . their arguments are powerful' -- Britain at War 'Simply astonishing' -- ***** Reader review 'Very illuminating' -- ***** Reader review 'You simply MUST read this book' -- ***** Reader review 'This is a page-turner' -- ***** Reader review *********************************************************************************** Hidden History uniquely exposes those responsible for the First World War. It reveals how accounts of the war's origins have been deliberately falsified to conceal the guilt of the secret cabal of very rich and powerful men in London responsible for the most heinous crime perpetrated on humanity. For ten years, they plotted the destruction of Germany as the first stage of their plan to take control of the world. The assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand was no chance happening. It lit a fuse that had been carefully set through a chain of command stretching from Sarajevo through Belgrade and St Petersburg to that cabal in London. Our understanding of these events has been firmly trapped in a web of falsehood and duplicity carefully constructed by the victors at Versailles in 1919 and maintained by compliant historians ever since. The official version is fatally flawed, warped by the volume of evidence they destroyed or concealed from public view. Hidden History poses a tantalising challenge. The authors ask only that you examine the evidence they lay before you . . .

Download or read book War and Happiness written by Peter S. Jenkins and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-06-07 with total page 383 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Jenkins’ rare combination of psychological theorizing and archival research in several countries and time periods yields a fascinating new take on the central question of when states over-estimate or under-estimate others’ resolve. The biases that leaders and elites fall prey to appear to vary with their emotional states and senses of well-being, factors that most scholars have ignored.”—Robert Jervis, author of How Statesmen Think This groundbreaking book explains how the happiness levels of leaders, politicians and diplomats affect their assessments of the resolve of their state’s adversaries and allies. Its innovative methodology includes case studies of the origins of twelve wars with Anglo-American involvement from 1853 to 2003 and the psycholinguistic text mining of the British Hansard and the U.S. Congressional Record. /div
