Palabras claves: Felipe IV, cultura visual, identidad política. «… pongamos ahora a contemplar a España: de yerro es esta ilustre Provincia, toda es Marcial, y bellicosa…»1. «Sepan pues todos los Principes del Mundo, que aunque sean Martes fortisimos, aunque sean altisimos como Saturno, aunque sea cada uno dellos un Iupiter en fortuna, y riquezas: si se apartaren del Sol esplendissimo de Espana, se abatiran aunque les pese: quando llegaren a hazerle oposicion, llegaran al Perigeo de su periodo, al lugar mas infimo de su infortunio»2. 1 Juan , Ἡσπανο-σθημα.

The symbolic importance of Nördlingen and its victorious general was made wholly apparent in 1635 in the elaborate arches and stages adorned with portraits, historical scenes, allegory and heraldry created in Antwerp under the direction of Peter Paul Rubens to celebrate both the victory and authority of Habsburg rule, that of both the Austrian and Spanish houses5.

It is based on intensive statistical study of common soldiers in Electoral Saxony during the Thirty Years War, through which I both analyze the demographics of soldiers’ backgrounds and discuss military wages in depth. Drawing on microhistory and anthropology, I also follow the career of a single regiment, headed by Wolfgang von Mansfeld (1575-1638), from mustering-in in 1625 to dissolution in 1627. This regiment was made up largely of people from Saxony but it fought in Italy on behalf of the King of Spain, demonstrating the global, transnational nature of early-modern warfare. My findings upend several assumptions about early seventeenth-century soldiers and war. Contrary to the Military Revolution thesis, soldiers do not appear to have become more disciplined during this period, nor was drill particularly important to their daily lives.

  • 2018-2019 National History Bowl Round 4
    NHBB A-Set Bowl 2018-2019 Bowl Round 4 Bowl Round 4 First Quarter (1) This action was supported by Eduardo Frei's Christian Democratic Party and occurred after sweeping gains for one leader's party in midterm elections. The target of this event gave a radio broadcast that he ended with the words \Long live the people! Long live the workers!", then used a gold-plated AK-47 to commit suicide while barricaded in La Moneda Palace. For ten points, name this event that led to the rise of the military dictator Augusto Pinochet. ANSWER: overthrow of Salvador Allende (accept death of Salvador Allende; accept descriptions of a coup d'etat against Salvador Allende; accept descriptions of the 1973 Chile coup d'etat; accept descriptions of \the coup d'etat that brought Augusto Pinochet to power" before his name is mentioned) (2) In the 1971 edition of this game, success was determined by how fast and accurately they typed words like \BANG" or \WOW." MECC produced this game, in which taking the Barlow Road or floating across the Columbia River Gorge are the two options for players as they approach Willamette Valley. The player is responsible for leading for leading a wagon party starting at Independence, Missouri in, for ten points, what classic educational computer game that shares its name with a pioneer route? ANSWER: The Oregon Trail (3) This politician issued a namesake Moratorium in an attempt to give Germany more time to catch up on reparation payments. In another postwar role, this man organized Belgian food relief efforts.

  • Ernest Hemingway, the American Red Cross, And
    ERNEST HEMINGWAY, THE AMERICAN RED CROSS, AND THE GREAT WAR by STEVEN J. FLORCZYK (Under the Direction of James Nagel) ABSTRACT Ernest Hemingway’s enlistment with the American Red Cross in 1918 was one of the most formative experiences of his life. This adventure provided the source material for A Farewell to Arms and his other writing about Italy. Although his service has been well documented, previously unexamined materials provide additional information. Among these, the diary of the commanding officer, Captain Robert W. Bates, official reports documenting the ambulance and canteen services, section newspapers published by volunteers, as well as other contemporaneous accounts, taken in conjunction with the established biography, clarify aspects of Hemingway’s involvement that have been unclear in existing scholarship. Moreover, these records show that the author drew on sources in ways that have not yet been fully appreciated. The documents shed light on the writer’s initial naiveté as a volunteer and point to the ways in which he transformed that experience in his fiction according to his sophisticated attitudes in the 1920s. The shift he underwent led him to “tell the truth,” as he later called the “writer’s job,” by using complex literary techniques to portray the wartime adventures of his youth in retrospect. His involvement with the Red Cross led to some of the finest American literature on the Great War. INDEX WORDS: Ernest Hemingway, World War I, Italian front, American Red Cross, The Toronto Star, in our time, In Our Time, The Sun Also Rises, Men Without Women, A Farewell to Arms, Winner Take Nothing, Across the River and into the Trees, A Moveable Feast, Men at War, “A Very Short Story,” “Soldier’s Home,” “Big Two-Hearted River,” “In Another Country,” “Now I Lay Me,” “A Way You’ll Never Be,” “A Natural History of the Dead” ERNEST HEMINGWAY, THE AMERICAN RED CROSS, AND THE GREAT WAR by STEVEN J.

  • Governing the Galleys: Jurisdiction, Justice, and Trade in the Squadrons of the Hispanic Monarchy
    chapter 3 Resistance, Consensus, and Solidarity García de Toledo, captain general of the Galleys of Naples, wrote a report to King Philip ii that described the greatest difficulties he had faced throughout his years as leader of the squadron. In an attempt to give a Stoic tinge to his dis- course, he associated every problem with one of the four elements in nature. The greatest obstacle was water, whose instability made all movement on the sea uncertain. Fire was a danger because ships were made of wood and cloth, while air imperilled any kind of maneuver— sometimes the wind did not blow at all; at other times it blew too hard. Finally, earth was represented by the rocks and sandbanks on which ships could run aground. The writer noted that at sea “you must defend yourself against many [dangers],” whereas on land there was only one: the crew members themselves, “who are looking you in the face day and night to seize the first occasion they can, and having performed their work all their lives, they well know how to act.” These reflections are valuable on several levels. They offer a glimpse into an officer’s interior world and betray the psychological pressure, even for an cap- tain general, of serving on the deck of a galley under the eyes of men hungry for any sign of weakness or opportunity. They reveal the ever- present threat of insubordination, mutiny, or flight, especially by rowers condemned to long sentences or slavery. An officer must fear his entire crew: “When you do not pay them it seems you cannot punish them, [and] everywhere you go they stir up trouble.”1 These observations betray a significant aspect of the internal governance of a galley, and will form the basis for the final section of this book.
