  • The Spell of Belgium
    The Spell of Belgium By Isabel Anderson THE SPELL OF BELGIUM CHAPTER I THE NEW POST THE winter which I spent in Belgium proved a unique niche in my experience, for it showed me the daily life and characteristics of a people of an old civilization as I could never have known them from casual meetings in the course of ordinary travel. My husband first heard of his nomination as Minister to Belgium over the telephone. We were at Beverly, which was the summer capital that year, when he was told that his name was on the list sent from Washington. Although he had been talked of for the position, still in a way his appointment came as a surprise, and a very pleasant one, too, for we had been assured that “Little Paris” was an attractive post, and that Belgium was especially interesting to diplomats on account of its being the cockpit of Europe. After receiving this first notification, L. called at the “Summer White House” in Beverly, and later went to Washington for instructions. It was not long before we were on our way to the new post. Through a cousin of my husband’s who had married a Belgian, the Comte de Buisseret, we were able to secure a very nice house in Brussels, the Palais d’Assche. As it was being done over by the owners, I remained in Paris during the autumn, waiting until the work should be finished. My husband, of course, went directly to Brussels, and through his letters I was able to gain some idea of what our life there was to be.

  • Anglo-Habsburg Relations and the Outbreak of the War of Three Kingdoms, 1630-1641
    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA RIVERSIDE Charles I and the Spanish Plot: Anglo-Habsburg Relations and the Outbreak of the War of Three Kingdoms, 1630-1641 A Dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History by Patrick Ignacio O’Neill March 2014 Dissertation Committee: Dr. Thomas Cogswell, Chairperson Dr. Randolph Head Dr. Georg Michels Copyright by Patrick Ignacio O’Neill 2014 The Dissertation of Patrick Ignacio O’Neill is approved: __________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________ Committee Chairperson University of California, Riverside ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Bertolt Brecht posed the question, “Young Alexander conquered India./ He alone?” Like any great human endeavor, this dissertation is not the product of one person’s solitary labors, but owes much to the efforts of a great number of individuals and organizations who have continually made straight my paths through graduate school, through archival research, and through the drafting process. First and foremost, I would like to thank my dissertation chair, Dr. Thomas Cogswell, for his excellent guidance throughout my years at the University of California, Riverside. When I arrived as a first-year graduate student, I had very little certainty of what I wanted to do in the field of Early Modern Britain, and I felt more than a bit overwhelmed at the well-trod historiographical world I had just entered. Dr. Cogswell quickly took me under his wing and steered me gently through a research path that helped me find my current project, and he subsequently took a great interest in following my progress through research and writing. I salute his heroic readings and re-readings of drafts of chapters, conference papers, and proposals, and his perennial willingness to have a good chat over a cup of coffee and to help dispel the many frustrations that come from dissertation writing.

  • Keeping up with the Dutch Internal Colonization and Rural Reform in Germany, 1800–1914

Content is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Licence eISSN: 2213-0624 Keeping Up with the Dutch Internal Colonization and Rural Reform in Germany, 1800–1914 Elizabeth B. Jones HCM 3 (2): 173–194 http://doi.org/10.18352/hcm.482 Abstract Recent research on internal colonization in Imperial Germany empha- sizes how racial and environmental chauvinism drove plans for agri- cultural settlement in the ‘polonized’ German East. Yet policymakers’ dismay over earlier endeavours on the peat bogs of northwest Germany and their admiration for Dutch achievements was a constant refrain. This article traces the heterogeneous Dutch influences on German internal colonization between 1790 and 1914 and the mixed results of Germans efforts to adapt Dutch models of wasteland colonization. Indeed, despite rising German influence in transnational debates over European internal colonization, derogatory comparisons between medi- ocre German ventures and the unrelenting progress of the Dutch per- sisted. Thus, the example of northwest Germany highlights how mount- ing anxieties about ‘backwardness’ continued to mold the enterprise in the modern era and challenges the notion that the profound German influences on the Netherlands had no analog in the other direction.

  • DRAFT 2 Chapter One Stigmatized by Choice: the Self-Fashioning Of
    DRAFT 2 Chapter One Stigmatized by Choice: The Self-Fashioning of Anna Katharina Emmerick, 1813 Introduction: Whose Story? The residents of Dülmen had plenty to talk about and worry over in March of 1813. By then, the Westphalian village had seen three regime changes over the course of a decade of war.1 As the front line of the battle between Napoleon’s Imperial France and the other European powers had shifted, passing soldiers made camp in Dülmen’s fields and requisitioned its goods – over 15,000 of them at one point, overwhelming the community’s 2,000 inhabitants. The French Revolution had come to their doorstep: the annexed village’s Augustinian convent was secularized, its peasants emancipated. Twenty of Dülmen’s young men had just recently been conscripted into Napoleon’s Grand Armeé, joining its long march to Russia. Now the Russian campaign was over, all twenty Dülmener soldiers were dead, and not only retreating French but Prussian and Russian troops were heading Dülmen’s way.2 Despite all these pressing concerns, a growing number of Dülmeners were talking in the streets and taverns about something else entirely: Anna Katharina Emmerick, the bedridden spinster forced to leave Dülmen’s convent upon its secularization. This peasant woman, rumor 1 At the time of Emmerick’s birth, Dülmen was part of the Prince-Bishopric of Münster. The last Prince-Bishop of Münster died in exile in Vienna in 1801, and the Prince-Bishopric was formally dissolved by the Reichsdeputationshauptschluß of 25 February 1803 (for more on this document, see p. 14 below).

  • Germany and the Coming of the French Wars of Religion: Confession, Identity, and Transnational Relations
    Germany and the Coming of the French Wars of Religion: Confession, Identity, and Transnational Relations Jonas A. M. van Tol Doctor of Philosophy University of York History February 2016 Abstract From its inception, the French Wars of Religion was a European phenomenon. The internationality of the conflict is most clearly illustrated by the Protestant princes who engaged militarily in France between 1567 and 1569. Due to the historiographical convention of approaching the French Wars of Religion as a national event, studied almost entirely separate from the history of the German Reformation, its transnational dimension has largely been ignored or misinterpreted. Using ten German Protestant princes as a case study, this thesis investigates the variety of factors that shaped German understandings of the French Wars of Religion and by extension German involvement in France. The princes’ rich and international network of correspondence together with the many German-language pamphlets about the Wars in France provide an insight into the ways in which the conflict was explained, debated, and interpreted. Applying a transnational interpretive framework, this thesis unravels the complex interplay between the personal, local, national, and international influences that together formed an individual’s understanding of the Wars of Religion. These interpretations were rooted in the longstanding personal and cultural connections between France and the Rhineland and strongly influenced by French diplomacy and propaganda. Moreover, they were conditioned by one’s precise position in a number of key religious debates, most notably the question of Lutheran-Reformed relations. These understandings changed as a result of a number pivotal European events that took place in 1566 and 1567 and the conspiracy theories they inspired.

    The Napoleon Series The Germans under the French Eagles: Volume IV The Regiment of the Saxon Duchies – Chapter One By Commandant Sauzey Translated by Greg Gorsuch THE REGIMENT OF THE SAXON DUCHIES ================================================================================== FIRST CHAPTER THE CAMPAIGN OF JENA AND THE SAXON DUCHIES (1806) _______________ I. -- The Duchy of Weimar furnishes to the Prussians a contingent to fight at Auerstaedt, and accompanies Blücher in his retreat on Lübeck. We are in the autumn of the year 1806: the Prussian monarchy, carried away by a wind of military folly, shortly before the catastrophes to follow; its army, placed on the a war footing, approached Saxony: in spite of its desire to remain neutral, the Elector was obliged to yield to the pressure of events; the Prussians were very close, and the Emperor Napoleon was still far away... The Saxon Electorate troops are thus incorporated into the Prussian ranks. But all the Allies were good for the war which was about to begin: a convention of the 4th of October, 1806, signed by the Colonel and Quartermaster General von Guyonneau on the side of the Prussia, and on the side of the Duchy of Saxe-Weimar by the Chamberlain and Major von Pappenheim, put at the service of Prussia for a period of twelve months a battalion of jäger and 40 hussars of Saxe-Weimar: these troops, together with those of the Electorate of Saxony, were to fight against the Emperor Napoleon and his allies of the Confederation of the Rhine. It was the establishment of this "Confederation

The concept of gotha thus summed up the ambivalence of the supra-national identity of the high nobility. Not only did it refer to the exclusiveness of the famous Almanach du Gotha which had been published since 1764 in the eponymous German town, but it also proclaimed that the most prestigious families were part of a European elite which was determined less by the geographic origin and settlement of its members than by their antiquity. Such a repre - sentation was to be firmly adopted by the members of the few dynasties whose names were listed in the Almanach : not only were they undoubtedly proud of being men - tioned in the most elitist armorial of Europe, but they also used it as a tool to be informed of various dynastic events and to identify individuals among their plethoric genealogical trees (which could be useful in society life as well in matrimonial strate - gies). Nevertheless, the nobility could hardly be reduced to an exclusive international - ism of blue-blood, as territorial roots and dynastic loyalties remained essential crite - ria for its hybrid strategies, practices and self-representations.

    Those In Between: Princely Families on the Margins of the Great Powers Jonathan Spangler (Final version, October 2008) “To a gentleman, any country is a homeland.” --Cardinal Jules Mazarin (Giulio Mazzarino)1 “We are looked upon as the last of the Gauls or as the first of the Germans. We are neither Gauls nor Germans; we belong at once to both of them.” -- from an eleventh-century necrology, Saint-Lambert de Liège2 Strasbourg, 1827—After having resided peaceably in this city since his Alsatian estates were restored to him by the Congress of Vienna in 1815, the Prince of Salm-Salm was required to leave France by the new Conservative Catholic Royalist government. His crime? He had declared his intention to convert to Protestantism. The issue at stake, however, was whether or not the formerly sovereign prince was to be considered an alien or a citizen and thus subject to French law. In his defense, the prince produced example after example of his ancestors’ and his own service to the French crown in the preceding centuries. His uncle was a French field marshal who had raised troops from Alsace for Louis XV at his own expense, and his younger brother had worked to keep the northeast frontier loyal to Louis XVI as bishop of Tournai.3 But examples could be provided in equal numbers of his ancestors’ service to the Empire. His own father, the French field marshal’s brother, had been an Austrian field marshal and governor of Luxembourg.4 Two brothers, two careers; one French, one Austrian. For a princely family hailing from the borderlands between France and the Empire, this scenario was entirely commonplace, a standard family practice for survival between larger powers.

Institutional Transplant and Cultural Proximity: Evidence from Nineteenth-Century Prussia* Giampaolo Lecce† and Laura Ogliari‡ This version: March 2017 Abstract The economic impact of exported institutions depends on the underlying cultural envi- ronment of the receiving country. We present evidence that cultural proximity between the exporting and the receiving country positively affects the adoption of new institutions and the resulting long-term economic outcomes. We obtain this result by combining new information on pre-Napoleonic kingdoms with county-level census data from nineteenth- century Prussia. This environment allows us to exploit a quasi-natural experiment gener- ated by radical Napoleonic institutional reforms and deeply rooted cultural heterogeneity across Prussian counties. We show that counties that are culturally more similar to France, in terms of either religious affiliation or historical exposure to French culture, display bet- ter long-term economic performance. We analyze a range of alternative explanations and suggest that our findings are most easily explained by cultural proximity facilitating the adoption of new institutions. Keywords: Institutions, Institutional Transplants, Culture, Economic Growth JEL classification: N13, N43, O47, Z10, Z12 *This is a substantially revised and extended version of a paper previously circulated in Spring 2016.
