  • A Life Transformed: the 1910S
    TWO A Life Transformed: The 1910s Not the least significant element of modem political history is contained in the constant growth of individual personality accompanied by the limitation of the State.! Georg Jellinek, 1892 FIRST TRIP TO CHINA AND THE JAPANESE COMMUNITY IN PEKING When Nakae grew bored with working for the South Manchurian Rail­ way Company, once again his benefactors came to his rescue and found something else for him. Around October 1914, his mother's former boarder, Ts'ao Ju-lin, managed to land him an offer. Ts'ao summoned Nakae to Peking with a one-year contract to work as secretary to Ariga Nagao (1860-1921). Ariga was a professor of international law at Waseda University and had been a friend of Ushikichi's father, although thei; political views diverged sharply. Apparently, years before, Mrs. Nakae out of concern for her wayward son's future had prevailed on the ever grateful Ts'ao to intercede on behalf of Ushikichi if necessary. Nakae received the handsome monthly salary of one hundred yuan for responsibilities neither especially demanding nor explicit. One suspects that he held this sinecure, which might otherwise not have existed, because of his mother's earlier appeal. We know, however, that Nakae spent a great deal of his time in China that year leading what he himself would later refer to as the life of a "profligate villain" (hi5ti5 burai).2 In 1914 Ariga accepted an invitation to serve as an advisor to the gov- "'-------------------- -- 28 A Life Transformed ernment of Yuan Shih-k'ai (1859-1916), which had taken power several years earlier in the young Republic of China.

Following the misery of Passchendaele where teeming rain created perhaps one of the bleakest landscapes of battle in the war, the British Army revived in confidence by virtue of promising success in the mass use of tanks during the first days of Cambrai.

  • TIMELINE of EVENTS March 1917 Tsar Nicholas Abdicates and The
    TIMELINE OF EVENTS March 1917 Tsar Nicholas abdicates and the Provisional Government takes over supported by the Soviet. It now has to deal with all the problems which led to the downfall of the Tsar – the war, food shortages and peasant demands for land…. April 16th 1917 Lenin arrives in Russia. He makes a speech demanding an end to the war with Germany, land for the peasants and nationalisation of banks. He insists that no support be given to the Provisional Government – instead the Soviets (there are Soviets in other cities) should get together and form a new government. These ideas became known as the April Theses. June 1917 The Provisional Government orders the armies to attack Austria. This fails and turns into a retreat. Soldiers began to desert in large numbers. Many go to Petrograd and join the Bolsheviks demanding an end to the Provisional Government July 1917 100000 soldiers and Bolsheviks are out in the streets demanding ‘All power to the Soviets’. These three days of rioting in Petrograd are known as the July Days. Kerensky sends loyal troops into the city to deal with the uprising. He claims the Bolsheviks have been paid by Germany to make trouble and Lenin is a German agent. Lenin has to leave Russia to avoid arrest and goes to Finland. Other leading Bolsheviks are arrested. The Bolsheviks have become unpopular and weak. August 1917 Kerensky become leader of the Provisional Government. He has to deal with a challenge from General Kornilov, Commander in Chief of the army who wants to take control.

Suffrage during the Pandemics of 1918 and 2020 1 Suffrage during the Pandemics of 1918 and 2020 Allison K. Lange 1 In October 1918, a suffragist named Florence Huberwald declared to the New Orleans Times-Picayune: “Everything conspires against woman suffrage” (“Influenza,” 1918). That month, she and many other activists watched as the number of flu cases in the United States rose. When I encountered her quote in April 2020, I could relate to her experience in a way that I could not have imagined a few months before. Huberwald had plans, and she saw them collapsing. I, too, had plans, but fellow scholars, museums, historical societies, and numerous other organizations slowly realized that the events we had organized to mark the 19th Amendment’s centennial needed to be changed.

  • The Roaring 1900S, 1910S, and 1920S DJ Script Good Evening, Ladies and Gentlemen
    The Roaring 1900s, 1910s, and 1920s DJ script Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. I am happy to speak to all the listeners out there who own the wonderful invention called the radio. Tonight we’ll be listening to a few pieces of popular music from the early 20th century, including the 1900s, 1910s, and 1920s. Let’s begin! The first song you’ll hear is a good example of ragtime music. Ragtime was popular in the 1900s, and this song is the most famous example. It was written in 1902 by an African American man named Scott Joplin. The song is called The Entertainer and it is written for a solo piano. Here’s The Entertainer by Scott Joplin. *listen to “The Entertainer” The next song is by a very famous songwriter named Irving Berlin. He is perhaps the most prolific American songwriter of all time, which means he’s written more popular songs than any other American. This song was inspired by ragtime music and became a hit in 1911. Please enjoy this recording of Alexander’s Ragtime Band by Irving Berlin. *listen to “Alexander’s Ragtime Band” The most important and influential style of music to come out of this time period came from the 1920s. The style is called blues. Blues began as music sung by slaves in the southern United States in the 1800’s and evolved to a sophisticated form of popular music. W.C. Handy, known as the “Father of the Blues” wrote this next song, St. Louis Blues. *listen to“St. Louis Blues” The next popular style of music to emerge in the 1910s was called Dixieland Jazz.
