The Antecedents of the Treaty of Hanover
1913 691 The Antecedents of the Treaty of Hanover p year 1725 saw a revolution in European politics. The Downloaded from _L death of Peter the Great on 8 February, which created a new situation in the north, waa followed by the treaties of Vienna between Austria and Spain, winch changed the whole political oonditionB of the sorrth. ^grJu-tt them, mainly, was directed the treaty of alliance between Great Britain, Fiance, and Prussia signed at Hanover on 3 September. Yet this was not http://ehr.oxfordjournals.org/ the reply first planned by George I; when at the beginning of March came to London news of Peter the Great's death and the first surprising intimations of private overtures made by Spain to Austria, negotiations actually in progress between the three powers were allowed to lapse, and a league against Austria was derised which left out Prussia. Later, a new treaty with France was drafted, and this was hurriedly altered to inntuHft at McMaster University Library on July 26, 2015 Prussia, when Frederick William I came to Hanover at the end of July and was found amenablp. At the beginning of the year five foreign negotiations engaged the attention of George I and hi* secretaries of state, Lord Towns- hend and the duke of Newcastle, negotiations * interwoven together', to use Newcastle's phrase,1 and soon to produce a very maze of complication.

Military Actions on the Territory of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth 315 Pacifist-Oriented Polish Nobility
POLITICS, CONFLICTS AND SOCIETY MILITARY ACTIONS ON THE TERRITORY OF THE POLISH- LITHUANIAN COMMONWEALTH IN 1706 Zbigniew CHMIEL University of Warsaw, Institute of History, Poland [email protected] Rezumat: Acţiuni militare pe teritoriul Uniunii Polono-Lituaniene în 1706 Politicile iresponsabile ale lui August al II-lea, care s-a aliat cu Rusia şi Danemarca în dorinţa de a-l înfrânge pe tânărul rege al Suediei, Carol al XII-lea, au condus la implicarea Uniunii statale polono-lituaniene în Marele Război al Nordului (1700-1721). Dar sfâșiată de disputele interne de la acea vreme, Uniunea nu s-a putut apăra în faţa invaziei vecinului din Nord. Întinsul teritoriul al Uniunii a devenit câmp de luptă pentru armatele Suediei, Rusiei şi Saxoniei. Între timp, conflictul dintre partidele politice s-a transformat într-un război civil deschis între partizanii și adversarii lui August al II-lea cel Puternic. Aceştia din urmă, sprijiniţi de regele Suediei, Carol al XII-lea, și împotrivindu-se legii Uniunii, l-au ales pe Stanislaw Leszczyński ca nou rege, în 1704. În pofida numeroaselor confruntări, nici una dintre părţi nu a reuşit să obţină victoria finală. Marșurile, urmăririle și eschivele armatelor aflate în luptă au fost numite de contemporani "Hopa-Mitică”. Apogeul luptelor s-a produs în 1706. A început ca o blocadă nereuşită a armatei ruse la Grodno și ca o mare izbândă a armatei suedeze la Fraustadt, și s-a încheiat cu ocuparea Saxoniei și abdicarea lui August al II-lea, prin Tratatul de la Altranstädt. Înfrângerea lui Wettin nu a putut fi evitată nici chiar prin victoria de la Kalisz în faţa armatei suedeze. -

This international and inter-disciplinary study is aimed at a deeper understanding of the ways in which the modern European identities and regional cultures are formed and inter-communicated in the Eastern part of the European continent. ENRI-East is a response to the shortcomings of previous research: it is the first large-scale comparative project which uses a sophisticated toolkit of various empirical methods and is based on a process-oriented theoretical approach which places empirical research into a broader historical framework. -

IN a previous paper which I read some years ago before the Society I declared my intention of discussing the reasons for which Frederick the Great made his famous attack on Saxony in 1756-an attack which roused half Europe against him, and brought him within a hair's-breadth of ruin, but of which he never seems to have repented. -

Exodus, Expulsion, Explication
Exodus, Expulsion, Explication Collective Memories of Silesia as a German-Polish Frontier Zone Steven Jefferson BA, PGDip, MRes, MCIL Thesis Submitted for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy at the School of Advanced Study, University of London February 2016 1 I hereby declare that this work is entirely my own except where explicitly stated in bibliographic and copyright notices Steven Jefferson BA, PGDip, MRes, MCIL The copyright of this thesis rests with the author and no quotation from it or information derived from it may be published without the prior written consent of the author. 2 Abstract This thesis addresses the traumata associated with Poland’s frontier changes in 1945, within a collective memory paradigm. These events include expulsions from German territories incorporated into Poland, and population transfers between Poland and the USSR. The thesis addresses two components: a central trauma complex, and the resulting collective memory discourse. Being a matter of historical record, the statistical details and chronology of these events are seldom contested, although they have often been instrumentalised by various stakeholders. Instead, the relevant collective memory discourse has focused on the production of broad, often exculpatory, narrative frameworks designed to explain a set of largely accepted facts. Accordingly, my thesis is primarily focused on this collective memory discourse. As an active phase, dominated by stakeholders with a high level of emotional investment in the narration and memorialisation of the relevant events, this collective memory discourse is currently undergoing a transition to the domain of History as a scholarly pursuit. This transition is best symbolised by the fact that, as of 2016, for the first time since 1945, all restrictions on the acquisition of agricultural land and forests in Poland’s former German territories, by Germans, will be lifted. -

ICRP Calendar
The notions of International Relations (IR) in capital letters and international relations (ir) in lowercase letters have two different meanings. The first refers to a scholarly discipline while the second one means a set of contemporary events with historical importance, which influences global-politics. In order to make observations, formulate theories and describe patterns within the framework of ‘IR’, one needs to fully comprehend specific events related to ‘ir’. It is why the Institute for Cultural Relations Policy (ICRP) believes that a timeline on which all the significant events of international relations are identified might be beneficial for students, scholars or professors who deal with International Relations. In the following document all the momentous wars, treaties, pacts and other happenings are enlisted with a monthly division, which had considerable impact on world-politics. January 1745 | Treaty of Warsaw The Treaty of Warsaw was a military pact among Great Britain, Austria, the Dutch Republic and Saxony. This 08 alliance supported Maria Theresa during the War of the Austrian Succession. It was also an anti-France alliance. 1792 | Treaty of Jassy The Treaty of Jassy was a peace agreement between the Russian Empire and the Ottoman Empire after the 09 Russo-Turkish War. According to this agreement Russia received important territories and became dominant power at the area of the Black Sea. 1732 | Treaty of Ahmet Pasha The Treaty of Ahmet Pasha was a peace agreement between the Ottoman Empire and the Safavid Persia. The 10 Ottomans and Persians fought between 1723 and 1730 both part was exhausted at the end of the war.
