  • AN UPHILL BATTLE Campaigning for the Militarization of Belgium, 1870-1914
    AN UPHILL BATTLE Campaigning for the Militarization of Belgium, 1870-1914 - Nel de Mûelenaere - Belgium plays a minor role, if it is mentioned at all, in the annals of the previously unparalleled European militarization that led to the First World War. This article presents a more nuanced image of Belgium as a non-militarized state during these decades, by focusing on the attempts of the militaristic political lobby to expand Belgium’s military infrastructure. Between 1870 and 1914, Belgium was indeed the scene of an intense militaristic movement that, despite its high level of activism, quickly fell into oblivion. At the start of their campaigns, in which the main goal was the adoption of personal military service, the militaristic lobbyists were primarily military or ex-military functionaries. The main motivation for their campaign was improving the sense of military purpose that acted as a preparation for war. This changed fundamentally throughout the campaigns. The militarists steadily built up a civilian network and expanded their influence. This was a key factor in the successful dissemination of the idea that a reformed Belgian army was very much needed in order to avert external dangers. At the same time, civilian influence altered the militarists’ view of the societal role of the military. This reciprocal influence reduced the gap between the military and civilian worlds, and suggests the presence of under- acknowledged militarization processes in Belgium prior to World War One. 145 Campaigning for the Militarization of Belgium I. Introduction ment of army officials and prominent Liberals pursuing the goal of a more powerful Belgian army.

  • Scenario and Campaign List - Introduction
    Republican Bayonets on the Rhine Scenario and Campaign List - Introduction List Comments The scenario list for Republican Bayonets on the Rhine includes 28 historical battles and over 200 scenarios that are in the main folder. This also includes Bonus, select campaign scenarios and also 15 min turn format scenarios. The players should note that the scenario file name lists whether a scenario is HTH - Head to Head or SOLO - meaning that it has AI scripts and can be played against the program. There were several HTH scenarios in the game which because of their complexity do not have a Solo counterpart. Others were simplified to allow for a more balanced situation when converted to a Solo setting. Three design scenarios are included for Scenarios Designers to use as well as those that would like to see all of the uniforms for the soldiers for this time period. They show the layout of the images that are part of the game. Key to the List Each scenario has a filename, scenario name and amount of turns on each line. Filename - has a number, the name of the action/battle and whether it is a Head to Head (HTH) or Solo (SOLO) scenario.

  • The Development of French Counter-Espionage, 1791-1794
    Securing the Revolutionary State: The Development of French Counter-Espionage, 1791-1794 By Carlos GARCIA DE LA HUERTA Submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of Kingston University for the university degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History September 2020 [Page intentionally left blank] i Supervision: Professor Marisa LINTON (First Supervisor) 1 Dr Rachael JOHNSON 2 1 Professor in History Kingston University London Kingston School of Art School of Arts, Culture and Communication Department of Humanities Penrhyn Road Kingston upon Thames KT1 2EE United Kingdom 2 Senior Lecturer in History Kingston University London Kingston School of Art School of Arts, Culture and Communication Department of Humanities Penrhyn Road Kingston upon Thames KT1 2EE United Kingdom ii [Page intentionally left blank] iii Abstract The history of counter-espionage during the early years of the French Revolution has been curiously overlooked by scholars and non-fiction writers alike. Until now, no single study has appeared, or indeed been published, charting the course of its development during the period in discussion. This thesis aims to fill this lacuna, not by offering an episodic account of its activities but by examining the precepts, perceptions and procedures that determined its conduct as it relates to la sûreté de l’état. Its objective, in other words, is to demonstrate how the pursuit and punishment of spies is not a simple cloak and dagger tale of hidden plots and secret agents but a fundamental question of national security. As this thesis will explain, the role that counter-espionage played is actually of central importance to our understanding of how the revolutionaries defended and securitized their embryonic state at a crucial juncture in its existence.

    In the Name of Glory 2006 FOREWORD By Stuart Asquith Military Writer and Historian In the Name of Glory started life as a simple system that would enable large demonstration war games to be played relatively quickly. Over a period of time these simple rules have evolved into the gaming system you see here. I first saw these rules being used to conduct a 6 mm war game at the Napoleonic Fair in London in 1998. I was impressed by the way that such a large game, played with thousands of figures, flowed with ease and the very positive reception the game received, both from war gamers and members of the public. Due to the interest shown by other war gamers, their designer David Marks decided to finance the publication of his rules. The high standard of presentation and the quality of the rules themselves impressed me. They were well laid out, easy to follow and managed to retain my interest - always a bonus. I found David's rules surprisingly easy to master and the straightforward playing system creates a good historical representation of Napoleonic warfare. The ongoing morale system, and the command and control system, together with the rule’s many subtleties surely capture the flavour, excitement and unpredictability of battle. The rules contain a good deal of very useful information and the precalculated tables, used to resolve firing and melee save time by eliminating the need to trawl through lists of factors. Over the years, I have used many sets of rules, but it has been a long time since a set of rules such as In the Name of Glory has resulted in so many enjoyable and interesting games.

  • British and French Investments in the Belgian Railroad Sector During the 19Th Century
    British and French Investments in the Belgian Railroad Sector During the 19th Century Frans Buelens (University of Antwerp, Belgium) Introduction Belgium was one of the first countries on the European continent to industrial- ise. The bulk of investments took place in the railroad sector and found its origin in state and private financing. Within the railroad sector a lot of investments were made by foreign capital, especially French and British, in addition to in- vestments made by the Belgian state, Belgian private investors and mixed banks. Stimulating motives of these investments were the profit rate, strategic considerations of economic supply and last but not least political-military rea- sons. The railroad sector indeed was very sensitive to the latter as it could be used for military reasons as well. Apart from foreign capital investments into the Belgian railroad sector, Belgian private capital also invested on a massive scale in the sector abroad. In this paper foreign investments into the Belgian railroad sector will be discussed. Three different periods can be distinguished. The first era is characterised by a series of crucial decisions to start the railway sector by the state. Private com- panies were nearly allowed and finance was done by means of state loans for a large part subscribed by French capital. The second era is characterised by massive inflow of private capital, almost exclusively British. The third era is characterised by large-scale private investments partly Belgian, partly foreign, with France at the top of an expansionist policy. By the end of the French- German war new inflows of foreign capital were no longer stimulated nor real- ised.
