WINSTON CHURCHILL FALLS from POLITICAL POWER in 1922 ' WINSTON CHURCHILL FALLS FROM POLITICAL POWER IN 1922 '" v ROBYN KELLER e Communicated by: Dr. Roy Schreiber n Department ofHistory s ;. y ABSTRACT t.

Secondly, the Coalition government in power was losing the popularity n that it needed to remain in place. is re ly The political consequences of Chanak were substantial. The crisis had been played out in public and the ie newspapers were well informed ofprocesses going on in the Cabinet. Churchill's part in propelling the Cabinet ie Df to the brink of a totally unexpected and unnecessary war caused him to lose support from all parties. In addition at to this already shaky foundation, the Coalition was weakening and had been acquiring disapproval before the 1e m crisis in Turkey. The pattern of these two events occurring simultaneously was enough to cause the downfall VO of the Liberal Coalition in October 1922. in, JP of Had Ministers Austen Chamberlain and F .E.

Instead they publicly supported George which forced 1ry rm Churchill to fight for his Parliamentary seat in Dundee, Scotland as a Liberal and Free Trader.

Churchill's observations seemed to be coming true. On September 10, 1922 Mustaphe Kemal, a powerful Gallipoli commander, had driven out the Greek forces in Turkey (Gilbert 821).

    CHANGING PERCEPTIONS OF IL DUCE TRACING POLITICAL TRENDS IN THE ITALIAN-AMERICAN MEDIA DURING THE EARLY YEARS OF FASCISM by Ryan J. Antonucci Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts in the History Program YOUNGSTOWN STATE UNIVERSITY August, 2013 Changing Perceptions of il Duce Tracing Political Trends in the Italian-American Media during the Early Years of Fascism Ryan J. Antonucci I hereby release this thesis to the public. I understand that this thesis will be made available from the OhioLINK ETD Center and the Maag Library Circulation Desk for public access. I also authorize the University or other individuals to make copies of this thesis as needed for scholarly research. Signature: Ryan J. Antonucci, Student Date Approvals: Dr. David Simonelli, Thesis Advisor Date Dr. Brian Bonhomme, Committee Member Date Dr. Martha Pallante, Committee Member Date Dr. Carla Simonini, Committee Member Date Dr. Salvatore A. Sanders, Associate Dean of Graduate Studies Date Ryan J. Antonucci © 2013 iii ABSTRACT Scholars of Italian-American history have traditionally asserted that the ethnic community’s media during the 1920s and 1930s was pro-Fascist leaning. This thesis challenges that narrative by proving that moderate, and often ambivalent, opinions existed at one time, and the shift to a philo-Fascist position was an active process. Using a survey of six Italian-language sources from diverse cities during the inauguration of Benito Mussolini’s regime, research shows that interpretations varied significantly. One of the newspapers, Il Cittadino Italo-Americano (Youngstown, Ohio) is then used as a case study to better understand why events in Italy were interpreted in certain ways.

Methods: We reviewed internal tobacco industry documents, the Pollay 20th Century Tobacco Ad Collection, and newspaper sources, categorized themes and strategies, and summarized findings. Results: Cigarette advertisements have used the term “natural” since at least 1910, but it was not until the 1950s that “natural” referred to a core element of brand identity, used to describe specific product attributes (filter, menthol, tobacco leaf).

    Jewel Theatre Audience Guide Addendum: London Gentlemen’s Clubs and the Explorers Club in New York City directed by Art Manke by Susan Myer Silton, Dramaturg © 2019 GENTLEMEN’S CLUBS IN LONDON Nell Benjamin describes her fictional Explorers Club in the opening stage directions of the play: We are in the bar of the Explorers club. It is decorated in high Victorian style, with dark woods, leather chairs, and weird souvenirs from various expeditions like snowshoes, African masks, and hideous bits of taxidermy. There is a sofa, a bar, and several cushy club chairs. A stair leads up to club bedrooms. Pictured above is the bar at the Savile Club in London, which is a traditional gentlemen’s club founded in 1868 and located at 69 Brook Street in Mayfair. Most of the gentlemen’s clubs in existence in London in 1879, the time of the play, had been established earlier, and were clustered together closer to the heart of the city. Clubs in the Pall Mall area were: The Athenaeum, est. 1824; The Travellers Club, est. 1819; The (original) Reform Club, 1832; The Army and Navy Club, 1837; Guard’s Club, 1810; United University Club, est. 1821, which became the Oxford and Cambridge Club in 1830; and the Reform Club (second location), est. 1836.

The Aftermath: 1918 to Present 34 Notes 40 Bibliographical Essay 47 Temperance was a major British issue until after World War I. Excessive drunkenness, not alcoholism per se, was the primary concern of the two parliamentary parties. When Lloyd George entered Parliament the two major parties were the Liberals and the Conservatives. Temperance was neither a problem that Parliament sought to~;;lv~~ nor the single issue of Lloyd George's public career. Rather, temperance remained within a flux of political squabbling between the two parties and even among the respective blocs within each Party. Inevitably, compromises had to be made between the dissenting factions. The major temperance controversy in Parliament was the issue of compensation. Both Parties agreed that the problem of excessive drunkenness was rooted in the excessive number of public houses throughout Britain.
