  • How to Deal with Russia （Cultural Internationalism Rather Than Territorial Dispute）
    How To Deal With Russia （Cultural Internationalism Rather Than Territorial Dispute） Hideaki Kinoshita Introduction Considering relations with Russia, it appears to be imperative among the Japanese people to raise the question of the Northern Territories, which comprises the islands of Habomai, Shikotan, Kunashiri and Etorofu. It is because the issue is perceived by the Japanese people as the apparent act of unprovoked aggression initiated during the final stages of World War II by Russian’s illegal and perfidious attack on the Chishima Islands with a sudden shift from relations of friendship to enmity. Japan was actually courting the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics（USSR） to perform as an intermediary for the armistice with the Allied Forces. Russian’s sudden attack unilaterally abrogating the Soviet-Japanese Neutrality Pact concluded in April, 1941 was baffling for the Japanese government, and aroused the impression to the Japanese that they were duped to the committing to the agreement. The agreement specified mutual respect of territorial integrity and inviolability as well as neutrality should one of the contracting parties become the object of hostilities of any third party（Slavinsky 1996: 129）. The Soviet attack no doubt was executed within the validity period of the pact and after the Japanese notification of accepting the Potsdam Declaration on August 15, 1945, and even continued after concluding the armistice on the Battleship Missouri on September 2, 1945（Iokibe, Hatano 2015: 311）. The concept, advocated by the government, of “inherent” Japanese Northern Territories helped foment the idea of the so called “residual” legal rights to the four islands in the Japanese public psyche.

Many men died and many more were wounded in a conflict which could have been avoided if the free world had not been ignorant of the ways of the Communists. Today, many years after the armored spearhead of Communism first drove across the 38th parallel, 350 ,0 0 0 men are still standing ready to repell that same enemy. It is hoped that this study will throw light on the errors which grew to war so that they might not be repeated at another time in a different place.

  • Canada's Response to the 1968 Soviet Invasion of Czechoslovakia
    Canada’s Response to the 1968 Soviet Invasion of Czechoslovakia: An Assessment of the Trudeau Government’s First International Crisis by Angus McCabe A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Affairs in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in History Carleton University Ottawa, Ontario © 2019 Angus McCabe ii Abstract The new government of Pierre Trudeau was faced with an international crisis when, on 20 August 1968, the Soviet Union invaded Czechoslovakia. This study is the first full account of the Canadian government’s response based on an examination of the archival records of the Departments of External Affairs, National Defence, Manpower and Immigration, and the Privy Council Office. Underlying the government’s reaction were differences of opinion about Canada’s approach to the Cold War, its role at the United Nations and in NATO, the utility of the Department of External Affairs, and decisions about refugees. There was a delusory quality to each of these perspectives. In the end, an inexperienced government failed to heed some of the more competent advice it received concerning how best to meet Canada’s interests during the crisis. National interest was an understandable objective, but in this case, it was pursued at Czechoslovakia’s expense. iii Acknowledgements As anyone in my position would attest, meaningful work with Professor Norman Hillmer brings with it the added gift of friendship. The quality of his teaching, mentorship, and advice is, I suspect, the stuff of ages. I am grateful for the privilege of his guidance and comradeship. Graduate Administrator Joan White works kindly and tirelessly behind the scenes of Carleton University’s Department of History.

Following the February Revolution and the 15 March 1917 abdication of Emperor Nicolas II, the three–century old Romanov dynasty was thrown off the throne. Also in the same manner, following the October Revolution and the overthrow of the Alexander Kerensky–led Provisional Government, four Socialist Republics were established on the territory of the defunct Russian Empire – these were the Russian and Transcaucasian Soviet Federated Socialist Republics and the Ukrainian and Belarusian Soviet Socialist Republics. On 28 December 1922, these constituent Republics established the USSR and additional union republics were later established. The USSR lasted seven decades and collapsed in 1991 resulting in the dismemberment of the 15–member geo–polity.

  • A Chance for Peace? the Soviet Campaign to End the Cold War, 1953–1955
    COLD WAR INTERNATIONAL HISTORY PROJECT WORKING PAPER #57 A Chance for Peace? The Soviet Campaign to End the Cold War, 1953–1955 By Geoffrey Roberts December 2008 THE COLD WAR INTERNATIONAL HISTORY PROJECT WORKING PAPER SERIES Christian F. Ostermann, Series Editor This paper is one of a series of Working Papers published by the Cold War International History Project of the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars in Washington, D.C. Established in 1991 by a grant from the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation, the Cold War International History Project (CWIHP) disseminates new information and perspectives on the history of the Cold War as it emerges from previously inaccessible sources on “the other side” of the post-World War II superpower rivalry. The project supports the full and prompt release of historical materials by governments on all sides of the Cold War, and seeks to accelerate the process of integrating new sources, materials and perspectives from the former “Communist bloc” with the historiography of the Cold War which has been written over the past few decades largely by Western scholars reliant on Western archival sources. It also seeks to transcend barriers of language, geography, and regional specialization to create new links among scholars interested in Cold War history. Among the activities undertaken by the project to promote this aim are a periodic BULLETIN to disseminate new findings, views, and activities pertaining to Cold War history; a fellowship program for young historians from the former Communist bloc to conduct archival research and study Cold War history in the United States; international scholarly meetings, conferences, and seminars; and publications.
