This excluded oil, however, an indispensable raw material for the conduct of any modern military campaign, and this favoured Italy. The Ethiopian offensive was defeated by the superiority of the Italian's weaponry artillery and machine guns as well as aerial bombardment with chemical weapons , at first with mustard gas. The Ethiopians in general were very poorly armed, with few machine guns, their troops mainly armed with swords and spears. Some Italians objected when they found out but the practices were kept secret, the government issuing denials or spurious stories blaming the Ethiopians. As the progress of the Christmas Offensive slowed, Italian plans to renew the advance on the northern front began as Mussolini had given permission to use poison gas but not mustard gas and Badoglio received the Italian III Corps and the Italian IV Corps in Eritrea during early The forces of Ras Kassa were defeated, the Italians using phosgene gas and suffering 1, casualties against 8, Ethiopian casualties according to an Ethiopian wireless message intercepted by the Italians. Special sprayers were installed on board aircraft so that they could vaporize, over vast areas of territory, a fine, death-dealing rain. Groups of nine, fifteen, eighteen aircraft followed one another so that the fog issuing from them formed a continuous sheet. It was thus that, as from the end of January , soldiers, women, children, cattle, rivers, lakes, and pastures were drenched continually with this deadly rain. To systematically kill all living creatures, to more surely poison waters and pastures, the Italian command made its aircraft pass over and over again. That was its chief method of warfare. The Ethiopians suffered massive losses and poison gas destroyed a small part of Ras Mulugeta's army, according to the Ethiopians. During the slaughter following the attempted withdrawal of his army, both Ras Mulugeta and his son

This work was abruptly arrested by the war, and the fresh start necessary on the liberation of the country emphasized that much health work still remains to be done. A realistic approach to certain disease-problems and the necessity for compe- tent outside assistance to tackle such problems form the basis for future work. The accomplishments of the Ethiopian Government in the limited time since the war bode well for the future.

    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Sussex Research Online K. Rietzler Journal of Global History, 11.1 (2016) Counter-Imperial Orientalism: Friedrich Berber and the Politics of International Law in Germany and India, 1920s-1960s Katharina Rietzler1 This is the peer reviewed, accepted manuscript of an article which will be published in final form in the Journal of Global History, Vol. 11.1 (March 2016), doi:10.1017/S1740022815000303 Abstract: The most trenchant critiques of Western international law are framed around the legacy of its historic complicity in the imperial project of governing non-European peoples. International law organised Europe and its ‘others’ into a hierarchy of civilizational difference that was only ever reconfigured but never overturned. But when analysing the complex relationship between international law and imperialism the differences within Europe—as opposed to a dyadic opposition of Europe versus the ‘rest'—also matter. Within the historical and political constellations of the early and mid-twentieth century, German difference produced a set of arguments that challenged dominant discourses of international law by posturing as anti- imperial critique. This article focuses on the global career of Friedrich Berber (1898-1984) who, as a legal adviser in Nazi Germany and Nehru’s India, was at the forefront of state-led challenges to liberal international law. Berber fused notions of German civilizational superiority with an appropriation of Indian colonial victimhood, and pursued a shared politics of opposition. He embodies a version of German-Indian entanglement which did not abate after the Second World War, emphasizing the long continuities of empire, power differentials, civilizational hierarchies and developmental logics under the umbrella of international law.

  • Bibliographic Guide to Further Reading
    BIBLIOGRAPHIC GUIDE TO FURTHER READING The historical, memoir, travel, and technical literature on Ethiopia is immense and continually growing. A complete bibliography would require a very thick volume. Included below are most of the major books cited in the text. Journal articles, pamphlets and monographs are not included. Many worthwhile books from my own collection not specifically referenced in the footnotes have been added. Books in languages other than English, German, French, Italian and Portu­ guese are not listed. Among the most valuable sources for research on Ethiopia are the proceedings of the triennial International Ethiopian Studies Conferences (IESC), the most recent of which were held in East Lansing, Michigan in September 1994 and in Kyoto,Japan in Decem­ ber 1997. The former produced 2,372 pages of papers published as New Trends in Ethiopian Studies (2 vols. Red Sea Press, No. 1994). The latter resulted in 2,345 pp. of papers published as Ethiopia in Broader Perspective (Shokado, Kyoto, 1997, 3vols). The 14th IESC is scheduled to take place in Addis Ababa in November 2000. Many other volumes of conference proceedings have been published in Ethiopia and elsewhere during the past three decades. With only a few except­ ions, these have not been listed below.

  • Black Internationalism and African and Caribbean
    BLACK INTERNATIONALISM AND AFRICAN AND CARIBBEAN INTELLECTUALS IN LONDON, 1919-1950 By MARC MATERA A Dissertation submitted to the Graduate School-New Brunswick Rutgers, the State University of New Jersey In partial fulfillment of the requirements For the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Program in History Written under the direction of Professor Bonnie G. Smith And approved by _______________________ _______________________ _______________________ _______________________ New Brunswick, New Jersey May 2008 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Black Internationalism and African and Caribbean Intellectuals in London, 1919-1950 By MARC MATERA Dissertation Director: Bonnie G. Smith During the three decades between the end of World War I and 1950, African and West Indian scholars, professionals, university students, artists, and political activists in London forged new conceptions of community, reshaped public debates about the nature and goals of British colonialism, and prepared the way for a revolutionary and self-consciously modern African culture. Black intellectuals formed organizations that became homes away from home and centers of cultural mixture and intellectual debate, and launched publications that served as new means of voicing social commentary and political dissent. These black associations developed within an atmosphere characterized by a variety of internationalisms, including pan-ethnic movements, feminism, communism, and the socialist internationalism ascendant within the British Left after World War I. The intellectual and political context of London and the types of sociability that these groups fostered gave rise to a range of black internationalist activity and new regional imaginaries in the form of a West Indian Federation and a United West Africa that shaped the goals of anticolonialism before 1950.

  • Exclusive Breastfeeding and Maternal Employment Among Mothers Of
    Tadesse et al. BMC Public Health (2019) 19:1015 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12889-019-7345-5 RESEARCHARTICLE Open Access Exclusive breastfeeding and maternal employment among mothers of infants from three to five months old in the Fafan zone, Somali regional state of Ethiopia: a comparative cross-sectional study Frew Tadesse1* , Yonas Alemayehu2, Sisay Shine1, Henok Asresahegn1 and Trhas Tadesse3 Abstract Background: Lack of exclusive breastfeeding is the most important risk factor for infant and young child morbidity and mortality. A better understanding of the factors that influence EBF is important in order to promote appropriate infant feeding practices. The return to work due to short maternity leave time may hinder employed mothers from breastfeeding their infants exclusively for the recommended six months duration. Methods: A community based comparative cross-sectional study was conducted from January to February 2016 in the Fafan zone, of the Somali Regional State, of Ethiopia. A total of 558 mothers with infants from ages 3–5 months, living in the five districts (Jigjiga city, Kebribeyah town, Aubere town, Bombas town and Babile) were included in the analysis. Logistic regression models were used to examine the effect of maternal employment on EBF practice. Results: This study has demonstrated a 24.8 and 82.9% prevalence of EBF practices among employed and unemployed mothers of index infants of 3–5 months respectively in the 24 h preceding the survey. Unemployed mothers were accounted for thusly: [Adjusted OR = 26.5; 95% CI (13.6,

  • The League of Nations in the 1930S
    The League of Nations in the 1930s This is a transcript of The League of Nations in the 1930s podcast from www.mrallsophistory.com While my last podcast considered the League of Nations in the 1920s, we could argue that the League’s problems and ultimate failure in the 1930s stems from the last major world event of the 20s. Due to the Wall Street crash, the world was plunged into huge economic depression which ultimately led to strained relations between countries as they tried to survive at all costs. While the 1920s saw presented a mix of both success and failure for the League of Nations, the 1930s arguably saw its complete collapse. The first failure of the League in the 1930s was a dispute over the Japanese invasion of Manchuria. In an attempt to overcome the effects of the worldwide depression, Japan took over this area of China after claiming Chinese aggression against their railway there. In response, China asked the League of Nations for help, as specified in the Covenant of the League. The first problem with the League’s response to Manchuria was that it took their representative, Lord Lytton, over a year to reach a judgement. This delay showed their inefficiency at responding to crises, and when they finally did reach a judgement in February 1933 by ordering Japan to leave Manchuria the Japanese refused. As a result of not liking the decision, Japan left the League instead and stayed in Manchuria! The League was left in a precarious situation. Britain and France, the leading powers within the League, were reluctant to impose trade sanctions or even a ban on weapons for fear of further damaging their own economies by losing valuable trade.

    The World War Two Allied Economic Warfare: The Case of Turkish Chrome Sales Inaugural-Dissertation in der Philosophischen Fakultät und Fachbereich Theologie der Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen Nürnberg Vorgelegt von Murat Önsoy Aus der Türkei D29 Tag der mündlichen Prüfung: 15 April 2009 Dekan: Universitätsprofessor Dr. Jens Kulenkampff. Erstgutachter: Universitätsprofessor Dr. Thomas Philipp Zweitgutachter: Universitätsprofessor Dr. Şefik Alp Bahadır ACKNOWLEDGMENTS An interesting coincidence took place in the first year of my PhD study, I would like to share it here. Soon after I moved to Erlangen, I started thinking over my PhD thesis topic. I was searching for an appropriate subject. Turkish Chrome Sales was one of the few topics that I had in my mind. One day, I went to my Doktorvater Prof. Thomas Philipp’s office and discussed the topics with him. We decided to postpone the decision a few days while I wanted to consider the topics one last time and do the final elimination. Afterwards I went to the cafeteria of the Friedrich Alexander University to have lunch. After the lunch, just before I left the cafeteria building, I recognized somebody speaking Turkish and reflexively turned around. He was a Turkish guest worker with a large thick moustache; I paid attention to his name tag for a second. His name was Krom, the Turkish word for chrome, since, for the first time in my life I was meeting someone with the name Krom I asked him about his name. Perhaps he is the only person with this name in Turkey. He told me that, this name was given by his father, who was a worker of a chrome mine in Central Anatolia and that day, when Mr.

The Abyssinia Crisis Introduction The League of Nations was founded in the wake of the First World War on the 10th of January 1920 as part of the Paris Peace Conference. The precursor to the United Nations, its goals were to provide a forum for the international community to resolve issues peacefully. The Covenant of the League of Nations outlined the principles of collective security, disarmament and communication among world powers to maintain international peace. The United States Senate, isolationist as it was in the era, however refused to consent to ratification of the Covenant and thus the US never joined. The League of Nations included two key institutions, the Assembly and the Council, operating in much the same way as the General Assembly and the Security Council do in the contemporary United Nations. The Assembly comprised representatives of all of the member states of the League, with each member being allowed up to three representatives and a single vote. The Council acted as an executive body to the League, deciding its business and holding most power in times of emergency.
