  • AUTONOMY: the LIBERATING BENEFITS of a SAFER, CLEANER, and MORE MOBILE SOCIETY America’S Love Affair with the Automobile Has Become a Cliché, Often a Snide One
    Labor of Love: A Fred Smith Story AUTONOMY: THE LIBERATING BENEFITS OF A SAFER, CLEANER, AND MORE MOBILE SOCIETY America’s love affair with the automobile has become a cliché, often a snide one. But in the early days, there was real passion. “You know, Henry, your car lifted us out of the mud,” a farmer’s wife living near Rome, Georgia, wrote to Henry Ford in 1918. “It brought joy into our lives. We loved every rattle in its bones.” Even American reformers and intellectuals were favorably inclined. In his 1916 book, The Romance of the Auto Industry, James Rood Doolittle expressed the belief that the car would “increase personal efficiency … make happier the lot of people who have led isolated lives in the country and congested lives in the cities; [and] … serve as an equalizer and a balance.” Conservationists saw the automobile as a great advance— no longer would vast quantities of fertile farmland be lost feeding horses. And, with mobility, rural youth might even stay on the farm, rather than rushing away to the big city. But those early positions have long vanished. Today’s intellectuals and reformers have little respect for the automobile—or for automobile culture. The car’s very convenience seems an indulgence, a waste of resources and money. “The Soviet Union’s greatest contribution to world peace was the fact that it did not put a car in every Soviet citizen’s garage,” says Ralph Nader. Political activists such as Nader have no monopoly on hostility to the automobile. Among the well-educated and well-to-do, nostalgia for train travel and paeans to subways are as common as complaints about traffic congestion.

Identifying military engagements in Egypt and the Levant, 1915- 1918 Roslyn Shepherd King Pike* Independent Scholar Email: [email protected] ABSTRACT This article examines the official names listed in the 'Egypt and Palestine' section of the 1922 report by the British Army’s Battles Nomenclature Committee and compares them with descriptions of military engagements in the Official History to establish if they clearly identify the events. The Committee’s application of their own definitions and guidelines during the process of naming these conflicts is evaluated together with examples of more recent usages in selected secondary sources. The articles concludes that the Committee’s failure to accurately identify the events of this campaign have had a negative impacted on subsequent historiography. Introduction While the perennial rose would still smell the same if called a lily, any discussion of military engagements relies on accurate and generally agreed on enduring names, so historians, veterans, and the wider community, can talk with some degree of confidence about particular events, and they can be meaningfully written into history.

  • Gallipoli-Gelibolu Canakkale-Dardanelles Straits Battle, February 1915 – January 1916
    GALLIPOLI-GELIBOLU CANAKKALE-DARDANELLES STRAITS BATTLE, FEBRUARY 1915 – JANUARY 1916 © M. Ragheb 7/4/2021 “Mothers who sent their sons to the war from the very far lands! Please stop crying. We hold your sons to our bosom. They are tranquil here and they will repose peacefully. As they died on these lands, we consider them as our sons.” Mustafa Kemal Ataturk, 1934 “Of the 760 of the Wellington Battalion who had captured the height that morning, there came out only 70 unwounded or slightly wounded men. Throughout that day not one had dreamed of leaving his post. Their uniforms were torn, their knees broken. They had had no water since the morning; they could talk only in whispers; their eyes were sunken; their knees trembled; some broke down and cried.” C. E. W. Bean, ‘The Story of Anzac,” Sydney, 1924, Vol. II, p. 679. INTRODUCTION After the collapse of the Ottoman Empire at the end of World War I, the European powers divided upon themselves the spoils of the former Ottoman territory. The “Treaty of Sèvres” ensued. Three years later, after a series of military victories by the former Ottoman Brigadier General Kemal Ataturk Pasha, the European powers had to relent to Turkish pressure and replace the Treaty of Sèvres with the less oppressive “Treaty of Lausanne.” In Turkey, a widespread fear exists that the Western powers aim, through proselytizing, to take back the lands of Turkey that they used to possess before the Ottoman conquest. A 2001 report by the National Intelligence Organization at MIT suggests that "missionaries refer to Pontos [an ancient Greek land] in the Black Sea area, Yazidism, the Chaldean [Church] and Christian Kurds in southeast Turkey, Armenians in eastern Turkey and the ancient Christian lands in the Aegean region and in Istanbul to impress people and win them over." For eight long months, British troops, alongside those from Australia, New Zealand and Ireland, France, India, and Canada’s Newfoundland battled harsh conditions and Ottoman forces desperately fighting to protect their homeland.

THE PROBLEMAT SUEZ BY CHABLES JOHNSTON The new year began with persistent threats of a huge Teutonic-Turkish drive against the Suez Canal and Egypt. The motive underlying this threat is complex. The more superficial element is the Kaiser's wish to make a magnifi cent present to the Turks, or at least to lead them to believe in his desire and power to make them such a gift, as the restoration to the Sultan of the ancient Turkish province of Egypt would be.

  • 2013-2014 Wisconsin Blue Book
    STATISTICS: HISTORY 677 HIGHLIGHTS OF HISTORY IN WISCONSIN History — On May 29, 1848, Wisconsin became the 30th state in the Union, but the state’s written history dates back more than 300 years to the time when the French first encountered the diverse Native Americans who lived here. In 1634, the French explorer Jean Nicolet landed at Green Bay, reportedly becoming the first European to visit Wisconsin. The French ceded the area to Great Britain in 1763, and it became part of the United States in 1783. First organized under the Northwest Ordinance, the area was part of various territories until creation of the Wisconsin Territory in 1836. Since statehood, Wisconsin has been a wheat farming area, a lumbering frontier, and a preeminent dairy state. Tourism has grown in importance, and industry has concentrated in the eastern and southeastern part of the state. Politically, the state has enjoyed a reputation for honest, efficient government. It is known as the birthplace of the Republican Party and the home of Robert M. La Follette, Sr., founder of the progressive movement. Political Balance — After being primarily a one-party state for most of its existence, with the Republican and Progressive Parties dominating during portions of the state’s first century, Wisconsin has become a politically competitive state in recent decades. The Republicans gained majority control in both houses in the 1995 Legislature, an advantage they last held during the 1969 session. Since then, control of the senate has changed several times. In 2009, the Democrats gained control of both houses for the first time since 1993; both houses returned to Republican control in 2011.

  • Chapter 10: Great War and Russian Revolution
    132 Chapter 10: Great War and Russian Revolution World War I Summary World War I (WWI or WW1), also known as the First World War or the Great War, was a global war centred in Europe that began on 28 July 1914 and lasted until 11 November 1918. More than 9 million combatants and 7 million civilians died as a result of the war, a casualty rate exacerbated by the belligerents' technological and industrial sophistication, and tactical stalemate. It was one of the deadliest conflicts in history, paving the way for major political changes, including revolutions in many of the nations involved. The war drew in all the world's economic great powers, assembled in two opposing alliances: the Allies (based on the Triple Entente of the United Kingdom, France and the Russian Empire) and the Central Powers of Germany and Austria-Hungary. Although Italy had also been a member of the Triple Alliance alongside Germany and Austria- Hungary, it did not join the Central Powers, as Austria-Hungary had taken the offensive against the terms of the alliance. These alliances were reorganised and expanded as more nations entered the war: Italy, Japan and the United States joined the Allies, and the Ottoman Empire and Bulgaria the Central Powers. More than 70 million military personnel, including 60 million Europeans, were mobilised in one of the largest wars in history. The trigger for war was the 28 June 1914 assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria, heir to the throne of Austria- Hungary, by Yugoslav nationalist Gavrilo Princip in Sarajevo. This set off a diplomatic crisis when Austria-Hungary delivered an ultimatum to the Kingdom of Serbia, and entangled international alliances formed over the previous decades were invoked.
