The present volume contains papers that span many different eras, regions, and subjects. The unifying thread for these articles is that they all engage in a revision of traditional historical narratives in their respective fields or investigate the untold stories of the subaltern. We have included, for the first time, a graphic history piece to showcase a different way of telling history. We similarly decided on a rather modern cover design that was a departure from previous volumes and that could reflect the different topics contained within this volume accurately. We owe a special recognition to Oscar Rivas and Dr. Joshua Singer from the Design Department at SFSU for graciously offering their time and creative energies to design this innovative cover. We would like to thank all the authors who submitted papers for the journal. Likewise, we are indebted to our hardworking editorial staff. We would not have been able to publish this volume without these valuable contributions by both parties. Many thanks to last years editing staff for continuously being readily available to answer our many questions. Our greatest gratitude goes out to Dr. Eva Sheppard Wolf for her wise guidance and Sheri Kennedy for her unwavering support and intricate knowledge of the complexities of the university system. Lastly, we would like to thank our professors, peers, administrative staff, friends and family, and everyone who has ever inspired and guided us during our study of history. May the history students at SFSU forever keep this special and empowering tradition that is Ex Post Facto.

Later chroniclers and modern scholars have been critical of Boleslaw for this decision. The Polish chronicler Jan Dlugosz, writing in the 15th century, described the results of the feudal disintegration: “Thus is Poland torn into parts, so that, when in course of time, disputes arise between the dukes, Poland will take up arms against herself; arms meant to be used against an enemy will be thrust into Polish guts and, in the madness of anger, swords will be drawn to maim Polish limbs and bodies.”1 This assertion can be taken as emblematic of what the attitude has been towards Boleslaw’s testament in the years since. In the Historical Dictionary of Poland, compiled by George J. Lerski, the assessment given of Boleslaw’s testament is that its ultimate effect was to “turn Poland from a relatively strong state into a conglomerate of weak principalities.”2 Chroniclers like Dlugosz as well as modern historians have portrayed Boleslaw’s decision as resulting in an inevitably fragmented and 1.

There are reasons to believe that Boleslaw may not have expected this long-term political division of Poland to be the result of his testament and that allowing a civil war to break out between his sons without attempting to prevent it would have appeared the worse alternative.

  • Anglo-Iranian Dispute in 1951)
    Studia Litteraria Universitatis Iagellonicae Cracoviensis 2019, special issue, pp. 231–243 Volume in Honour of Professor Anna Krasnowolska doi:10.4467/20843933ST.19.037.10980 www.ejournals.eu/Studia-Litteraria JOLANTA SIERAKOWSKA-DYNDO University of Warsaw e-mail: [email protected] Polish Judge Defended the Iranian Stance (Anglo-Iranian Dispute in 1951) Abstract The nationalization of oil fields in Iran on 20 March 1951 turned into a conflict between the British and Iranian governments. It was a heavy blow for the oil company from Great Britain, which since the beginning of the 20th century was present in Iran (since 1933 under the name of Anglo-Persian Oil Company, the name was changed for Anglo-Iranian Oil Company). British government lodged a complaint against Iran with the International Court of Justice, and then on 22 June 1951 filed a further request for the interim measures of protection to be implemented until the dispute is resolved. Two of the judges of the International Court of Justice gave a dissenting opinion in this case, one of them was a Polish judge, Bohdan Winiarski. In his opinion, and also opinion of Egyptian judge Abdel Hamid Badawi Pasha, the British government was not a party to the contract because it was signed between the Ira- nian Government and the Anglo-Persian Oil Company not with the British Government. This opinion was accepted by the International Court of Justice in Hague. The positive verdict of the Court was a huge victory for Iran. Without doubt, the Polish judge, Bohdan Winiarski, contributed to it.

  • Iran Hostage Crisis National Security Council, 1979 !
    CRISIS COMMITTEES | 2014e IRAN HOSTAGE CRISIS NATIONAL SECURITY COUNCIL, 1979 ! Dear Delegates, We are in the midst of the Iran Hostage Crisis, and there is no time to spare. Our situation is grave and desperate, and together we will find a solution into dealing with the recent events regarding the kidnapping of 52 Americans from the United States embassy in Tehran on November 4, 1979. Indeed there are many sides to this issue, and debates will be tense. The dichotomy between the many people being represented in this committee will surely lead to many disputes and tough agreements. Can the situation remain diplomatic? Or will it lead to something else? It shall remain up to you. It is with great pleasure, as director of this committee, to welcome you to our 2014 UTMUN conference. My name is Stanley Treivus, and alongside our Crisis manager Meerah Haq, we look forward to this thrilling weekend of debate that awaits us. We are both first year students studying Political Science and International relations and this will be our first time being involved in UTMUN. This conference will appeal to all delegates, experienced or novice. And our hope is that you will leave this committee with not only profound knowledge on the subject, but with a better sense of communication and improved debating skills than you had before. The issues we will be discussing will surround the many topics that relate directly to the Iran Hostage Crisis. We will look at foreign relations between the United States and Iran shortly before and during the crisis.

  • Revolution, Reform and Regionalism in Southeast Asia
    Revolution, Reform and Regionalism in Southeast Asia Geographically, Cambodia, Laos and Vietnam are situated in the fastest growing region in the world, positioned alongside the dynamic economies of neighboring China and Thailand. Revolution, Reform and Regionalism in Southeast Asia compares the postwar political economies of these three countries in the context of their individual and collective impact on recent efforts at regional integration. Based on research carried out over three decades, Ronald Bruce St John highlights the different paths to reform taken by these countries and the effect this has had on regional plans for economic development. Through its comparative analysis of the reforms implemented by Cam- bodia, Laos and Vietnam over the last 30 years, the book draws attention to parallel themes of continuity and change. St John discusses how these countries have demonstrated related characteristics whilst at the same time making different modifications in order to exploit the strengths of their individual cultures. The book contributes to the contemporary debate over the role of democratic reform in promoting economic devel- opment and provides academics with a unique insight into the political economies of three countries at the heart of Southeast Asia. Ronald Bruce St John earned a Ph.D. in International Relations at the University of Denver before serving as a military intelligence officer in Vietnam. He is now an independent scholar and has published more than 300 books, articles and reviews with a focus on Southeast Asia,

  • Dagome Iudex1
    STANISŁAW KĘTRZYŃSKI DAGOME IUDEX1 Pierwszym znanym nam imiennie biskupem w Polsce był Jor­ dan. Przypuszczamy, że był on z pochodzenia Anglosasem, czy Ir­ landczykiem, nie zaś Niemcem, że pochodzi zapewne z diecezji leo- dyjskiej i że nie mógł mu być obcym kult św. Lamberta z Leodium, który to kult manifestuje się imionami Lamberta, zjawiającymi się w dynastii piastowskiej już koło r. 980. Nie był ten Jordan bisku­ pem poznańskim, jak to przyjmowano do niedawna, był on bisku­ pem misyjnym. Terenem wyznaczonym mu do jego pracy kościel­ nej była prawdopodobnie ziemia Polan, czyli tzw. później Wielko­ polska, z Gnieznem jako prawdopodobną rezydencją, ośrodkiem centralnym. Ten biskup Jordan zmarł koło r. 982, a jego następcą został teraz niewątpliwy Niemiec, niejaki Unger. Dzięki bystremu spo­ strzeżeniu znakomitego niemieckiego badacza P. Kehr a, przyjętemu przez polskich historyków (Wł. Abrahama, St. Zakrzewskiego i na­ stępnych), można przyjąć, że jest ten Unger w r. 991 biskupem, ale równocześnie opatem turyngijskiego opactwa w Memleben. Wy­ mieniony jest on bowiem w dokumencie z r. 991 jako biskup i opat równocześnie, gdy już w roku następnym 992 jest w Memleben inny opat. Stąd wniosek słuszny, że Unger w ciągu roku 991 na 992 ustą­ pił z opactwa i pozostał następnie tylko biskupem i to niewątpliwie biskupem w Polsce. Imię bowiem Unger jest wcale rzadkie i trudno by było przyjąć, by mogło być równocześnie dwu biskupów Unge- rów i to żaden z nich nie zasiadający na regularnej katedrze, biskup­ stwie w Niemczech. Drugim wnioskiem P. Kehra, jednak sądzić wolno, niekoniecznie do przyjęcia, jest to, że stanowisko biskupie po śmierci Jordana, a przed r.

  • Histoire De La Pologne 1 Histoire De La Pologne
    Histoire de la Pologne 1 Histoire de la Pologne L'histoire de la Pologne commence véritablement au Xe siècle, sous le règne de Mieszko Ier et de la dynastie Piast. C'est sous son règne que les souverains polonais se convertissent au christianisme. La Pologne devient rapidement au Moyen Âge une puissance régionale, tout en essayant régulièrement de sortir de l'influence du Saint-Empire Romain Germanique, et repousser le Drang nach Osten. C'est ainsi qu'à partir du XIIe siècle, le royaume de Pologne doit lutter contre les Chevaliers Teutoniques qui ont colonisé la Prusse et une partie de la Poméranie. Le pays atteint son apogée au XVe et au XVIe siècles sous la dynastie des Jagellons, après l'union Royaume de Pologne et du Grand-duché de Évolution du territoire de la Pologne entre 1000, Lituanie résultant en la République des Deux Nations, l'un des plus 1569, 1939 et 1945. grands pays d'Europe. Mais durant le XVIIe et surtout le XVIIIe, la République est engagée dans des nombreux conflits militaires qui lui font perdre une grande partie de sa superficie, notamment sous le coup de l'expansion de l'Empire russe. À la fin du XVIIIe siècle, après 3 partitions, la République des Deux Nations est partagée entre la Prusse, l'Autriche et l'Empire russe. La Pologne ne retrouve son indépendance qu'en 1918, mais le pays est à nouveau partagé durant la Seconde Guerre mondiale entre l'Allemagne nazie et l'Union Soviétique. À la fin de celle-ci, l'URSS conserve la partie orientale de la Pologne qui, en contrepartie, acquiert les territoires de la Poméranie, de la Prusse Orientale et de la Silésie, régions allemandes depuis plusieurs centaines années.

  • Poland and the Holy See. Contribution to the Concordatory Law *
    Teka Kom. Praw. – OL PAN, 2014, 44 –63 POLAND AND THE HOLY SEE. CONTRIBUTION TO THE CONCORDATORY LAW * Józef Krukowski The University of S. Wyszy ński in Warsaw Faculty of Canon law Summary. The article contains the explication of the very important questions respecting the normalization of relations between the democratic Poland and the Catholic Church using the international agreement between the Holy See and the supreme authority of Polish State, called „concordat”. This event is consi dered in the historical context of political transformations from the communist totalitarian regime to liberal democracy and at the same time from atheistic state based on the hostile separation to the secular one based on the friendly separation. In complains the following issues: 1) notion and classification of concordats, 2) axiological and formal dimension of its conclusion between the Holy See and Poland (1993 –1998), 3) compliance Concordat’s with the Constitution of Poland, 4) the stabilization function of Concordat, 5) financial clauses. Key words: Holy See, Polish State, concordat, Constitution, Church-State relations The historical events are a good opportunity for the taking this subject into account. The last year (2013) twenty anniversary have passed since the signing of the Concordat between the Holy See and the Republic of Poland and fifteen years since its ratification 1. A few days ago we experienced the canonization by the Pope Francis the two of his predecessors: John XXIII and John Paul II, who contributed to the process of the building justice and peace between the nations in modern world, especially the relations between the Church and State in Poland.

  • 30 Tadeusz Wasilewski Brata Przybysława, Księcia Stodoran4
    TADEUSZ WASILEWSKI (Warszawa) POCHODZENIE EMNILDY, TRZECIEJ ŻONY BOLESŁAWA CHROBREGO A GENEZA POLSKIEGO WŁADZTWA NAD MORAWAMI Do spornych, dotąd nie rozwiązanych zagadnień z wczesnych dziejów dynastii piastowskiej należy pochodzenie Emnildy — długoletniej mał­ żonki Bolesława Chrobrego, matki Mieszka II. O Emnildzie mamy jedynie unikalny przekaz współczesnego jej kronikarza saskiego, biskupa merse- burskiego Thietmara: tertia (uxor Bolizlavi) fuit Emnildis, edita a vene­ rabili seniore Dobremiro1. Dowiadujemy się z tych słów, jak to wykazał w 1895 r. Oswald Bal­ zer, że ojciec, określony mianem venerabilis senior, był chrześcijańskim księciem, a jego słowiańskie imię sytuuje jego księstwo na Słowiańszczyź- nie. Wymienienie go wyłącznie z imienia, bez podania bliższych określeń, zwłaszcza geograficznych, wskazuje, że był on postacią znaną dobrze ko­ mesom i duchownym saskim jako adresatom kroniki Thiettmara. Na związ­ ki Dobromira, może nawet pokrewieństwo z arystokracją niemiecką, wska­ zuje niemieckie imię córki Emmildis, a być może również imię wnuczki Regelindis. Księstwo Dobromira położone było ponadto również w pobliżu granic państwa Mieszka I, gdyż kolejne małżeństwa zawierane przez Bole­ sława Chrobrego za życia ojca miały wybitnie polityczny charakter2. Na podstawie powyższych wskazówek poszukiwano ojczyzny Dobro­ mira w jednym z księstw słowiańskich, znajdujących się w zasięgu wpły­ wów niemieckich, którego chrześcijańscy władcy znani byli dobrze Sa­ som. Umiejscawiano zatem księcia Dobromira przede wszystkim na Połabiu. Oswald Balzer uważał, że był on księciem jakiegoś ludu w Słowiańszczyź- nie północno-zachodniej i zwracał uwagę na występowanie już w X w. wśród Obodrzyców chrześcijańskich książąts.
