MEČISLAV BORÁK (Czech Republic) The main features of occupation policy in the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia and the rest of Protectorate of the Czech Lands Bohemia and When Nazi German troops occupied the interior of the Czech Lands in March 1939, the invasion marked the beginning of over six years of occupation which would last until the final days of the Second World War in Europe. On Moravia and the basis of a decree issued by Hitler, the occupying authorities established an entity named the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia; however, despite its proclaimed autonomy, the Protectorate was in fact entirely controlled by the post-war the German Reich, and the Reich’s actions proved decisive for the fate of the Czech nation. When researching this period, however, we should not neglect the fact that there were other parts of the Czech Lands which lay outside development of the the Protectorate throughout the war, as the Nazis had seized them from Czechoslovakia in the autumn of 1938, before the invasion of what remained of the country. This seizure was a consequence of the Munich Agreement, State – historical which enabled Nazi Germany to annex the border areas in the historical provinces of Bohemia, Moravia and Silesia; the Agreement was forced upon the Czechoslovak Republic, and ultimately led to the state’s disintegration overview and demise. In September 1939 the Polish-occupied part of Těšín (Teschen/ Cieszyn) Silesia were taken by Germany; from this point on, the entire territory of the Czech Lands (both the border regions and the interior) came under the direct control of the Third Reich. My paper will briefly outline these historic Chair: events, as they had an influence on the specific manifestations of the policies implemented by the occupying authorities – policies whose consequences are Helena Krejčová, Czech Republic the subject of this conference. The border regions of the Czech Lands were split into five administrative units which were incorporated into the neighbouring regions of the German Reich. The sixth administrative unit was established as an independent subdivision of the Reich, the Reichsgau Sudetenland. The situation “on the ground” differed somewhat among the various annexed regions – not only in terms of the national/ethnic composition and status of the local population, but also in terms of the methods of Germanization applied, the overall policies 9 implemented by the occupying authorities, the forms of resistance against (shortly after the main annexation of the border regions), were incorporated the occupiers, and the number of victims of the occupation and the wartime into the German Landrat of Waldmünchen. The capital city of the Gau was events as a whole. The annexed border regions were incorporated into the Bayreuth; the District Courts were subordinated to the Regional Court in Reich’s administrative systems as follows. Deggendorf and the Supreme Provincial Court in Munich. The South Moravian border region (a broad strip of land from Břeclav/ In the north-east of the Czech Lands, the area around Hlučín (Hultschin), Lundenburg to Slavonice/Zlabings) and the south-eastern part of Bohemia between Ostrava (Ostrau) and Opava (Troppau), was incorporated directly (around Nová Bystřice/Neubistritz) were incorporated into what had formerly into the German Reich. After the Habsburgs’ defeat in the Prussian-Austrian been Austria; after the Anschluss it had become the Gau Niederdonau war (1742), this territory had come under the control of Prussian Silesia; (Lower Danube Gau). Local authorities known as Landräte were established it remained part of Prussia for almost two centuries, until 1920, when the in the towns of Znojmo (Znaim), Mikulov (Nikolsburg) and Nová Bystřice Treaty of Versailles allocated it to Czechoslovakia. In 1938 it was “returned” (Neubistritz), but several dozen communities were incorporated into the to Prussian Silesia, being incorporated the District of Ratibor (now Racibórz, Reich Landräte of Waidhofen an der Thaya and Horn. Znojmo had a Gestapo Poland), in the Government District (Regierungsbezirk) of Oppeln (now Opole), office and a Regional Court subordinated to the Supreme Provincial Court in part of the Provinz Schlesien, whose capital was Breslau (now Wrocław); in Vienna. The capital of the Gau (which also incorporated small areas of Slovak 1941 the province was split into two parts, and the Hlučín area became part of territory – Devín/Theben and Petržalka/Engerau) was originally intended to Upper Silesia (Provinz Oberschlesien, with its capital in Kattowitz/Katowice). be Krems; however, the Gau authorities were located in Vienna, and remained there throughout the war. The last part of the Czech Lands to be incorporated into the German Reich was the territory in Těšín (Cieszyn/Teschen) Silesia that had formerly been The Gau Oberdonau (Upper Danube Gau) gained some territory from part of Czechoslovakia before its seizure by Poland.

Říha) Transformation of the identity of a region: Theory and the empirical case of the perceptual regions of Bohemia and Moravia, Czech Republic Petr MAREK a * Abstract By using the concept of perceptual region – an essential part of the identity of a region and a part of every person’s mental map – this paper demonstrates a way to examine the understudied transformation of (the identity of) a region and, specifically, its territorial shape (boundaries). This concept effectively fuses the “institutionalisation of regions” theory and the methodologies of behavioural geography. This case study of the perceptual regions of Bohemia and Moravia shows how and why these historical regions and their boundary/boundaries developed, after a significant deinstitutionalisation by splitting into smaller regions in an administrative reform. Many people now perceive the Bohemian-Moravian boundary according to the newly-emerged regional boundaries, which often ignore old (historical) boundaries.

  • History of San Marino
    History of San Marino The official date of the foundation of the Republic of San Marino is AD 3 September 301. Legend states that a Christian stonecutter named Marinus escaped persecution from the Roman emperor Diocletian by sailing from the Croatian island of Arbe across the Adriatic Sea to Rimini. Marinus became a hermit, taking up residency on Monte Titano, where he built up a Christian community. He was later canonized andthe land renamed in his honor. Throughout the Middle Ages, the tiny territory made alliances and struggled to remain intact as a string of feudal lords attempted to conquer it in their attempts to control the Papal States. On 27 June 1463, Pope Pio II gave San Marino the castles of Serravalle, Fiorentino, and Montegiardino. The castle Faetano voluntarily joined later that year, increasing San Marino’s boundaries to their present size. In 1503, Cesare Borgia managed to conquer and rule San Marino for six months. In 1739, Cardinal Alberoni’s troops occupied San Marino. After many protests, the Pope sent Monsignor Enrico Enriquez to investigate the legality of Alberoni’s occupation, and San Marino subsequently regained its independence on St. Agatha’s day, now a national holiday. In 1797, Napoleon invaded the Italian peninsula. Reaching Rimini, he stopped short of San Marino, praising it as a model of republican liberty. San Marino declined his offer to extend its lands to the Adriatic Sea. With the fall of Napoleon, San Marino was recognized as an independent state, adopting the motto Nemini Teneri (Not dependent upon anyone). San Marino remains neutral in wartime, but many Sammarinese volunteered in the Italian Army during World War I.

  • France and the Dissolution of Yugoslavia Christopher David Jones, MA, BA (Hons.)
    France and the Dissolution of Yugoslavia Christopher David Jones, MA, BA (Hons.) A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of East Anglia School of History August 2015 © “This copy of the thesis has been supplied on condition that anyone who consults it is understood to recognise that its copyright rests with the author and that use of any information derived there from must be in accordance with current UK Copyright Law. In addition, any quotation or extract must include full attribution.” Abstract This thesis examines French relations with Yugoslavia in the twentieth century and its response to the federal republic’s dissolution in the 1990s. In doing so it contributes to studies of post-Cold War international politics and international diplomacy during the Yugoslav Wars. It utilises a wide-range of source materials, including: archival documents, interviews, memoirs, newspaper articles and speeches. Many contemporary commentators on French policy towards Yugoslavia believed that the Mitterrand administration’s approach was anachronistic, based upon a fear of a resurgent and newly reunified Germany and an historical friendship with Serbia; this narrative has hitherto remained largely unchallenged. Whilst history did weigh heavily on Mitterrand’s perceptions of the conflicts in Yugoslavia, this thesis argues that France’s Yugoslav policy was more the logical outcome of longer-term trends in French and Mitterrandienne foreign policy. Furthermore, it reflected a determined effort by France to ensure that its long-established preferences for post-Cold War security were at the forefront of European and international politics; its strong position in all significant international multilateral institutions provided an important platform to do so.

  • Municipal Flags in Bohemia
    Municipal Flags in Bohemia ALe§ Bro2ek I believe that those who have ever visited Czechoslovakia will agree with me when I say that our country does not belong among such flag-rich coun tries as West Germany or the Netherlands. Nevertheless, we have a strong flag study society. It is called the Prague Vexillological Club and has been uniting both Czechoslovak flag scholars, and collectors for 13 years. Since its very beginning out Club has promoted an interest not only in - the history of the Czechoslovak State Flag but also in the municipal — flags of our country. One of its first projects was therefore underta— ken with the aim of the collecting data both on historic and contempora ry municipal flags in use in the territory of Bohemia, Moravia, and Slo vakia. We mailed about a thousand letters to nearly all district and municipal museums, archives and administrations asking them to inform us whether municipal flags were or are flown there. Their replies should include ther a description of the flag, or a drawing in the case of a more comply cated flag pattern, data on colour symbolism and flag usage, and biblio­ graphic references. It was sometimes necessary to send a second or third query before we received a reply. The quality of replies varied. We some­ times got a negative answer from an administration and an affirmative — one from a museum or archives in the same town. Data obtained from the replies were compiled by Dr. Ludvik Mucha, chair­ man of the Prague Vexillological Club. He also incorporated in them the information provided by Jan Miller of Warsaw, one of the world's experts in municipal vexillology, as well as by some members of Prague Vexillolo gical Club.

  • Radioactivity of Mineral Waters in Bohemia
    Radioactivity of mineral waters in Bohemia RADIOACTIVITY OF MINERAL WATERS IN BOHEMIA Z. KREJBICHOVA´ AQUATEST SG, a.s., Geologicka ´ 4, 152 00 Praha 5, Czech Republic CzechRadioactivityZ.Krejbichov´ a of mineral waters in Bohemia Republic is a country of many mineral and thermal springs. Studies of mineral waters including chemical and radiochemical analyses have been conducted in Czechoslovakia for a long time. Company Aquatest-Stavebn´ı geologie (AQ) took part in these activities since early 1960s – new capture of springs, survey drillings, proposition of protective zones. An offer of available radiochemical analytical methods is presented in this paper. Survey of historical data and of analyses of other institutes is listed for comparison. The parallels with some foreign mineral sources are mentioned. 1 Natural radionuclides in mineral water Mineral and thermal waters are a special kind of ground-waters distinguished by specific chemical and physical properties as, e.g., higher mineralisation, trace ele- ments, dissolved gas, higher temperature or radioactivity. Mineral and thermal waters are usually connected with specific and unique geological and tectonic structures. From the geological point of view, the average dose equivalent of 0,37 mSv per year is measured on the territory of Czech Republic. In granite massifs and other naturally radioactive rocks or permo-carbon basins higher values of 1,1 – 1,7 mSv per year have been detected. Elements of the uranium- radium family have greater signification than those of the thorium series [1]. A high number of mineral waters in Bohemia is a part of the great European province of carbonated waters, which extends from France over Eiffel, Rhön, Harz to the West Bohemia and to Silesia.

The effects of this ongoing process range from direct intervention in the breakup of Yugoslavia to more indirect influence in its formation. This research strongly centers on previously established and well accepted theories of globalization to illustrate the consequences globalization had on Yugoslavia specifically. Throughout the research, the concept of critical globalism emerges as the prevailing method in the attempt to explain the events that took place in this region.
