You have got in front of you the last edition of our annual publication which had been completed conscientiously by our Editor in chief, Flavia Tudini. I want in the opening text, congratulate and thank her for the quality of her work for ISHA and Carnival as you will see throughout this magazine. I want to thank all the ISHA International Board members and Council members, for their work during all the term 2014-2015. The International Board appreciates the quality of articles we received. This 16th edition covers different events of ISHA. Since the Annual Conference 2014 in Budapest until the Autumn seminar 2014 in Pula ; including our summer event in the Slovenian capital city and the weekend seminar in Sofia. The discussed topics in this opus are varied and approach different fields of study, and reach far beyond historical sciences. It's a promising 16th edition which is reflecting perfectly the new direction followed by ISHA and impulsed by the International Board lead by Barbora Hruba. Furthermore, the level of the texts presented in this opus are representing a collective will to diversify the topics and improve the academic level of Carnival. This is a representative edition because it shows the will to open toward outside. As you have seen this year, ISHA is back on the stage of international students organizations. The long-awaited partenership with EGEA (European Geography Association) finally became a reality, during our New Year Seminar in Olomouc with the presence of Nora Varga, president of EGEA European Board, to sign officially the new partnership. In our next editions of Carnival, our geography student friends will have the opportunity to published an article in our publications. The links we created together are more than just an institutional partnership, ISHA and EGEA are sister organizations ; and our relations are tending to become stronger. This is just the begining of our common work. ISHA also came back this year in ESU (European Students' Union) network, the most important student representative organization and leader player about higher education in Europe. The presence and the participation of ISHA as associate member was really appreciated in the last two board meetings in Azerbaijan and in Armenia. More than ever, ESU can count on us and count with us. ISHA renew strong ties with other students organizations who are IFISO members (Informal Forum of International Student Organizations), and regains a certain imposing presence there. It's now time to share skills, knowledges and best practises to evolve and develop ISHA. This term was the opportunity to work on ISHA communication, especially on internet with our new social networks and our website. It was high time to go on the way of numerical transition, in order to improve the image of ISHA with students but especially with our partners. Because they will have a lot of importance and a major role in the future of ISHA ; they will be directly involved in ISHA life. This 16th edition is double representative about the will of ISHA International Board to meet and be proactive with partners, and propose a higher academic level, better articles with readness to search and critical analysis. I very much welcome the good health of ISHA, this is reflected day by day with the liveliness of our sections; but also through the increase of events in our network. We've got off course our four traditional events ; and the weekend seminars, they offer to participants the possibility to discover new topics and create social links between ISHA members and ISHA sections. The weekend seminars are great experiences, the International Board wants to encourage people to attend and to organize some during the next years. Finally, ISHA is the best way to share our passion for History and for cultures; our desire to share with others students, not for their origins or their social backgrounds. We are in a period of religious, ethnic conflicts, and financial crises; ISHA is the symbole of tolerance, of the openness toward others, many people underestimate the importance of our student mobility, it's the first step of friendship among peoples. Our generation will play a major role in the future of the world. Keep on getting involved in ISHA, keep going on discovering, keep on contributing to this wonderful experience that ISHA is. Viva History ! VIVA ISHA ! On behalf of the International Board and Council 2014-2015 Anthony Grally ISHA – International Vice president. The American Revolution and its Impacts on British Atlantic Trade Manuel Reimann, Karl-Franzens-Universität Graz In 1773 the so called “Boston Tea Party” was the start of the American Revolution. The war ended in 1776 with the declaration of independence through thirteen British colonies in North America. In 1783 the Peace of Paris was signed which meant that Great Britain accepted the independence of the USA. The war also had a significant amount of influence on trade. Before 1773 it was a kind of “inland trade” between motherland and colonies. The question now is if the war led to a decrease of trade or if it had positive effects. Additionally, the situation after 1776 will be illuminated in this paper. Another query is if the products of trade had changed through the war or if there were changes immediately before or after 1773–1776. One of the main causes of the revolution was that Great Britain, and particularly the Houses of Parliament published new laws. These laws directly were concerned with the economy in the different colonies. The so called “Tea Act” of 1773 was too much. The reaction was the aforementioned “Boston Tea Party”. The question concerning the war years is what the traders did during that time. They were dependent on trade if they wanted to keep their (financial) status. Immediately after the war both parts started trading with each other again. So the American Revolution will be used as a dissociative element. The two main sections will deal with the time before and after the war, of course it is not possible to divide these phases completely. Suitable for this paper is the thesis which says that war is a strong promoter of progress. If this is right, there should be a bigger volume of trade at the end of 18th century than at the beginning. However, since this is also possible in connection to the 1770s, these two positions must be differed. Introduction “When in the course of human Events, it becomes necessary for one People to dissolve the Political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the Powers of the Earth, the separate and equal Station to which the Laws of nature and Nature´s God entitle them, a decent Respect to the Opinions of Mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the Separation.” (Declaration of Independence, The U.S. National Archives and Records Administration) These are the first lines of the American Declaration of Independence which was published on July 4th 1776. In addition, to the well-known impacts which accrued through the abolition of the former colony, for example the colonisation of Australia as an alternative to deport convicts, there were also changes in the trade of Great Britain and their former colonies.

  • Disillusionment and Years of Conflict, 1884– 1905
    chapter 3 Disillusionment and Years of Conflict, 1884– 1905 In 1885, growing tensions between Great Britain and Russia ended a decade of relative ease and no foreign threat to Sweden-Norway. The two great pow- ers ultimately clashed in Afghanistan in the so- called Panjdeh Incident on 30 March 1885. The Russian Empire had been advancing into central and south- ern Asia since 1839, and it pushed on to Afghanistan in the early 1880s. Great Britain considered the advance a threat to India, and quickly entered into dis- cussions about the Afghan border with the Russians in 1882. An agreement on a boundary commission was reached in the summer of 1884, but the Russians kept driving southwards. In March 1885, they crushed the Afghan forces and annexed the Panjdeh district before the commissioners had arrived. The Brit- ish prepared for war, but the issue was eventually settled following the inter- vention of the Amir of Afghanistan.1 Before this solution was reached, however, the strained relations between London and St. Petersburg had transferred to the European territories. With the Baltic Sea forming a natural arena for a war between Russia and Great Britain, Sweden- Norway found itself in the most precarious situation it had been in since the Berlin Congress of 1878. The Swedish-Norwegian government ordered military preparedness when it learned of the confrontation between the British and the Russians, and quickly decided on the rearmament of what was left of its navy and the reinforcement of Gotland’s defences. It also revised its neutrality policy to better support Russia’s interests after Russia’s foreign minister, Nikolay Girs, told the Swedish-Norwegian minister in St.

  • The Ulster Women's Unionist Council and Ulster Unionism
    “No Idle Sightseers”: The Ulster Women’s Unionist Council and Ulster Unionism (1911-1920s) Pamela Blythe McKane A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY GRADUATE PROGRAM IN POLITICAL SCIENCE YORK UNIVERSITY TORONTO, ONTARIO JANUARY 2015 ©Pamela Blythe McKane 2015 Abstract Title: “No Idle Sightseers”: The Ulster Women’s Unionist Council and Ulster Unionism (1911-1920s) This doctoral dissertation examines the Ulster Women’s Unionist Council (UWUC), an overlooked, but historically significant Ulster unionist institution, during the 1910s and 1920s—a time of great conflict. Ulster unionists opposed Home Rule for Ireland. World War 1 erupted in 1914 and was followed by the Anglo-Irish War (1919- 1922), the partition of Ireland in 1922, and the Civil War (1922-1923). Within a year of its establishment the UWUC was the largest women’s political organization in Ireland with an estimated membership of between 115,000 and 200,000. Yet neither the male- dominated Ulster unionist institutions of the time, nor the literature related to Ulster unionism and twentieth-century Irish politics and history have paid much attention to its existence and work. This dissertation seeks to redress this. The framework of analysis employed is original in terms of the concepts it combines with a gender focus. It draws on Rogers Brubaker’s (1996) concepts of “nation” as practical category, institutionalized form (“nationhood”), and contingent event (“nationness”), combining these concepts with William Walters’ (2004) concept of “domopolitics” and with a feminist understanding of the centrality of gender to nation.

He wrote well regarded biographies of George Moore (1939), Henry Tonks (1936), and W.B. Yeats (1943) with whom he was on terms of close friendship. His political writings included books on the 1916 rebellion, the Irish Convention, and a history of Ireland since independence, published in 1932. He had a strong interest in philosophy, translating Daniel Halévy’s life of Nietzsche and working with Arland Ussher on an anthology of philosophers which was never completed. He was elected President of the Irish Academy of Letters in 1957. With George Roberts and Stephen Gwynn, he co-founded Maunsel & Company, publishers, and served as its chairman. The company published more than five hundred titles to become Ireland’s largest publishing house, publishing works by all the revival’s leading figures. The imprint later changed to Maunsel & Roberts. Joseph Hone died in March 1959 and was survived by his wife Vera (neé Brewster), a noted beauty from New York who he had married in 1911.

  • Circuit Des Guerres De Vendée Dans Le Centre-Mauges
    UN PEU D ’HISTOIRE… Le pays des Mauges à la veille de la révolution À la veille de la Révolution, le Pays des Mauges est calme ; ses habitants s’adonnent à leurs activités habituelles, principalement l’agriculture et le tissage. Ils sont attachés à leurs valeurs traditionnelles, notamment la religion catholique et la monarchie à travers la personnele C edun Roi,tre même-Ma siu desge s uréformesit des sont Gu ardemmenterres d esouhaitées, Vendé ecomme dan ens témoignent les cahiers de Circ doléances. Cependant, la population locale ne va pas pleinement bénéficier des premières mesures prises par la Révolution : les impôts augmentent, le grain est réquisitionné, les paysans ne peuvent acquérir des biens nationaux mis en vente en lots trop importants pour eux. Dans le même temps, le textile connaît une crise profonde (mécanisation et délocalisation du tissage) qui plonge les nombreux tisserands locaux dans la misère. Les raisons du soulèvement De plus, l’Assemblée Nationale Constituante va prendre des mesures qui vont enflammer le pays. D’abord le vote, le 12 juillet 1790 de la Constitution Civile du Clergé qui prévoit, entre autres, l’élection des membres du Clergé par certains électeurs et non plus leur nomination par le Pape ou les évêques. Cette loi va engendrer une vive inquiétude, voire une hostilité de la part de la hiérarchie catholique, qui sera partagée par une majorité de la population. Cette attitude sera renforcée par l’obligation pour tout ecclésiastique de prêter serment de fidélité à la Constitution sous peine d’être destitué. Cela va désorgani- ser profondément l’Église.

  • Russia's Imperial Encounter with Armenians, 1801-1894
    CLAIMING THE CAUCASUS: RUSSIA’S IMPERIAL ENCOUNTER WITH ARMENIANS, 1801-1894 Stephen B. Riegg A dissertation submitted to the faculty at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of History. Chapel Hill 2016 Approved by: Louise McReynolds Donald J. Raleigh Chad Bryant Cemil Aydin Eren Tasar © 2016 Stephen B. Riegg ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Stephen B. Riegg: Claiming the Caucasus: Russia’s Imperial Encounter with Armenians, 1801-1894 (Under the direction of Louise McReynolds) My dissertation questions the relationship between the Russian empire and the Armenian diaspora that populated Russia’s territorial fringes and navigated the tsarist state’s metropolitan centers. I argue that Russia harnessed the stateless and dispersed Armenian diaspora to build its empire in the Caucasus and beyond. Russia relied on the stature of the two most influential institutions of that diaspora, the merchantry and the clergy, to project diplomatic power from Constantinople to Copenhagen; to benefit economically from the transimperial trade networks of Armenian merchants in Russia, Persia, and Turkey; and to draw political advantage from the Armenian Church’s extensive authority within that nation. Moving away from traditional dichotomies of power and resistance, this dissertation examines how Russia relied on foreign-subject Armenian peasants and elites to colonize the South Caucasus, thereby rendering Armenians both agents and recipients of European imperialism. Religion represented a defining link in the Russo-Armenian encounter and therefore shapes the narrative of my project.
