  • Wishful Thinking Or Buying Time? the Logic of British Appeasement in the 1930S
    Wishful Thinking or Buying Time? Wishful Thinking or Norrin M. Ripsman and Buying Time? Jack S. Levy The Logic of British Appeasement in the 1930s The “lessons of the 1930s,” based on British and French appeasement of Germany, have pro- foundly inºuenced U.S. security policy for a half century. Presidents have invoked these lessons in decisions for war in Korea, Vietnam, and Iraq in 1990–91 and 2003, and in presidential campaigns.1 Among policymakers and publics, and among many scholars as well, the futility of appeasement has ac- quired the status of a lawlike generalization.2 The implicit assumption is that the Western allies’ primary aim was to secure a lasting peace with Germany through concessions to resolve Adolf Hitler’s grievances. If that was the aim, the policy clearly failed. But, as we shall demonstrate, that was not appease- ment’s primary aim. Scholars need to rethink both the concept of appeasement and the goals of appeasement in the 1930s. The popular image of appeasement was fueled by the scholarship of tra- ditional historians, who condemned British and French appeasement of Germany as politically naïve and morally bankrupt. In their view, the policies Norrin M. Ripsman is Associate Professor in the Department of Political Science at Concordia University. He is the author of Peacemaking by Democracies: The Effect of State Autonomy on the Post–World War Settlements (University Park: Penn State University Press, 2002). Jack S. Levy is Board of Gover- nors’ Professor of Political Science at Rutgers University, Senior Associate at the Arnold A. Saltzman Insti- tute of War and Peace Studies at Columbia University, and past president of both the International Studies Association (2007–08) and the Peace Science Society (2005–06).

  • Chapter Three: Daily Life in the Public Domain, 1933–1938
    125 Chapter Three: Daily Life in the Public Domain, 1933–1938 Nazi Policy toward the Jews The introduction and the implementation of Nazi policy toward the Jews affected them in all aspects of their lives, including the public domain. As the years progressed, their level of insecurity and lack of safety escalated. Whether policy dealt with public or private space, Jewish or non-Jewish space was inconsequential. All policy was engineered toward the demonisation, humiliation and exclusion of Jews from all spheres of life and influence in Germany. Included in this was their constant surveillance as declared ‘enemies of the German people.’ All policy also affected the behaviours and attitudes of non-Jews towards Jews in the public domain, as Jews had been allocated pariah status. In depicting the effect of Nazi policy on the daily lives of Jews in the city from 1933 until the pogrom in November 1938, a similar pattern corresponding to the time-line of economic disenfranchisement emerges. The initial shock and violence of 1933 was followed by a period of adjustment to their new and disturbing status.1 Ongoing boycotts and public defamation, combined with the exclusion from some public places, were the main features until the introduction of the Nuremberg Laws in 1935. After September 1935 Jews no longer possessed any legal status and were racially defined. This led to an open season of accusing Jews of either invented crimes or newly created crimes, such as ‘Rassenschande.’ In Magdeburg this resulted in show trials and the trial by media of a number of community members.

  • Great Depression and the Dust Bowl How Do People Overcome Hardships?
    TEACHING WITH PRIMARY SOURCES Great Depression and the Dust Bowl How do people overcome hardships? The United States had experienced several major economic swings before the Great Depression in the 1930s. During World War I, the U.S. government had vigorously encouraged farmers to expand crop and livestock outputs to feed the army and U.S. allies in Europe. They guaranteed high prices and appealed to the farmers’ patriotism through slogans like “Food Will Win the War.” Farmers borrowed to buy new machinery to replace the labor lost by sons and hired hands drafted into the military. As Food Demand Drops, Farm Prices Collapse In 1920, with the war over and the demand for farm goods decreasing, the U.S. government with little warning announced that it was ending price supports. The farmers, however, continued to produce at near record levels creating surplus commodities that sent prices plummeting. Until then, land prices had been rising rapidly as farmers and non-farmers saw buying farms as a good investment. With the collapse of farm prices, the land bubble burst, often dropping the market value of the land well below what the investor owed on it. The post-war depression did not start with the Stock Market Crash of 1929. For the Midwest, it started in 1921, and farmers and the small towns that depended on the land were hit hard. In the 1920s, only slightly less than half of the U.S. population lived on farms. When farmers were not making money, they could not buy the products that factories were making.

  • 1935 Sanctions Against Italy: Would Coal and Crude Oil Have Made a Difference?
    1935 SANCTIONS AGAINST ITALY: WOULD COAL AND CRUDE OIL HAVE MADE 1 A DIFFERENCE? CRISTIANO ANDREA RISTUCCIA LINACRE COLLEGE OXFORD OX1 3JA GREAT BRITAIN Telephone 44 1865 721981 [email protected] 1 Thanks to (in alphabetical order): Dr. Leonardo Becchetti, Sergio Cardarelli (and staff of the ASBI), Criana Connal, John Fawcett, Prof. Charles Feinstein, Dr. James Foreman-Peck, Paola Geretto (and staff of the ISTAT library and archive), Gwyneira Isaac, Clare Pettitt, Prof. Maria Teresa Salvemini, Prof. Giuseppe Tattara, Leigh Shaw-Taylor, Prof. Gianni Toniolo, Dr. Marco Trombetta, and two anonymous referees who made useful comments on a previous version of this paper. The responsibility for the contents of the article is, of course, mine alone. ABSTRACT This article assesses the hypothesis that in 1935 - 1936 the implementation of sanctions on the export of coal and oil products to Italy by the League of Nations would have forced Italy to abandon her imperialistic war against Ethiopia. In particular, the article focuses on the claim that Britain and France, the League’s leaders, could have halted the Italian invasion of Ethiopia by means of coal and oil sanctions, and without the help of the United States, or recourse to stronger means such as a military blockade. An analysis of the data on coal consumption in the industrial census of 1937 - 1938 shows that the Italian industry would have survived a League embargo on coal, provided that Germany continued her supply to Italy. The counterfactual proves that the effect of an oil embargo was entirely dependent on the attitude of the United States towards the League’s action.

  • Events in Europe & How the US Reacted O'brien US II CP
    Events in Europe & How the US European Reacted O’Brien Theater US II CP Annotation In the years after World War I many Americans quickly reached the conclusion that their country's participation in that war had been a disastrous mistake, one which should never be repeated again. During the 1920s and 1930s, therefore, they pursued a number of strategies aimed at preventing war. Having experienced the horrors of modern war during one world war, many Americans in the 1920s concluded that there must not be another. A number of antiwar organizations had existed even before the war, but during the interwar period pacifism became the fastest-growing movement in America. At first the major players in this effort were American peace societies, many of which were part of larger international movements. Their agenda called for large-scale disarmament and an international treaty to abolish war. Their efforts were successful, as 1922 saw the signing of the Washington Naval Treaty (aka 5 Power Treaty) - a major agreement among the great powers to reduce their numbers of battleships. Six years later most of the world's nations signed the Kellogg-Briand Pact (1928), in which the signatories pledged never again to go to war with one another. Most Americans applauded both of these measures, but by the early 1930s there was a growing sense of pessimism regarding the ability of arms control and Kellogg-Briand to stop wars from breaking out. Militant nationalist regimes in Japan and Germany both announced that they would no longer be bound by prior agreements on disarmament, and in 1931 Japan invaded the Chinese province of Manchuria.
