Abs tract This thesis examines the role Britain's Ambassador to Italy, Sir Eric Drummond, played on the formulation of British foreign policy during the Italo-Abyssinian crisis of 1935-6. Contrary to some past studies which ignore Drummond's impact on government decisions during the crisis, this thesis shows that he did play an important role in influencing many of the British goverment's decisions. This assessrnent has been arrived at by examining Drummondls tenure as ambassador during the crisis, and also by focussing on the perspectives of British governrnent officiais involved in the foreign policy decision-making process. These individuals include members in the Foreign Office such as the Permanent Under-Secretary and, in the political sphere, the Foreign Secretary. The thesis illustrates how Drummond played a key role during each phase of the crisis. Because of his position as arnbassador, Sir Eric was able to present British views and positions taken throughout the crisis to Mussolini and his aides. But, more importantly, Drummond was able to provide his colleagues and superiors in Whitehall with useful observations and, at times, convincing advice which aided the British government in formulating its policies in response to unfolding events. The thesis is based on an analysis of primary and secondary sources in English, both published and unpublished. The primary sources are comprised mainly of British documents such as those iii found in the Foreign Office, General Correspondence, Poli tical Files (F.O. 371) deposited in the Public Record Office at Kew, Papers from the Foreign Office Confidential Print and Reports, and the Documents on British Foreign Policy- Cabinet and Foreign Office memoranda were also examined, as were other material found in the published diplomatic documents of Canada, Germany, and the United States. This emphasis on Foreign Office, Cabinet, and other diplomatic sources is integral to the thesis because it is in these materials that Drummondlsopinions and advice can be found, along with his governmentlsresponses and policies. Since much of the crisis was played out within the League of Nations, League publications were also used in this study, as were British periodicals and rnemoirs. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS 1 would like to express my appreciation to my supervisory cornmittee for their help throughout my graduate studies. Many thanks go to Dr, Martin Kitchen for his advice and helpful comments. f am also very much indebted to Dr. John Stubbs for his invaluable suggestions and for his unfailing kindness. Many thanks are also due to my husband and parents for their encouragement and support- Finally, to my daughters, Victoria and Gabriella, for their unending patience and good humour, 1 dedicate this thesis.

Decernber 1934 marked the official beginning of the Italo-Abyssinian crisis with a clash between Italian and Abyssinian troops at Walwal, sorne sixty miles inside Abyssinian territory. The crisis ended in July 1936 when sanctions imposed by the League of Nations were lifted. By that time, Italian troops had entered the Abyssinian capital of Addis Ababa (in May 1936), and forced Ernperor Haile Selassie to flee into exile. Throughout the crisis, intense negotiations were pursued (both within and outside of the League) in order to resolve matters. In the end, Mussolini acquired his East African empire. However, it was a venture which had exacted a hea-vy price £rom many of the players involved. Mussolini's scheme to subjugate Abyssinia was in accordance with Fascist philosophy, for success in this endeavour would illustrate how glorious and powerful Italy and il Duce were by providing an empire rerniniscent of ancient Rome. However, the whole adventure was not to be a straightforward affair, for the crisis engulfed not only Abyssinia and Italy, but also affected Great Britain, France, and the League of Nations. By the end O£ Mussolini's adventure in July 1936, European relations had become severely strained. The Stresa front of April 1935 consisting of Britain, France, and Italy in opposition to Nazi Germany's increasing belligerence, had disintegrated. Moreover, the League of Nations1 inability to deal successfully with the crisis had also rendered the League a fatal blow. The Italo-Abyssinian conflict was therefore not merely a crisis of relations between Italy and Abyssinia, but was, above all, a grave crisis with international implications, Ample scholarly li terature theref ore exis ts on various aspects of the conflict, There are, for instance, studies on the devastating impact the crisis had on the League of Nations.' For contemporary accounts of the war itself, there are Pietro Badogliolsand Emilio de Bonolspro-Italian narrativesO2 Ange10 del Boca and Anthony Mockler have also written about the war, as has Thomas M. Coffey/ Coffeytswork places heavy emphasis on Abyssinia's emperor, Haile Selassie and presents a sympathetic account of him. Other aspects of the crisis can be found in works such as Franklin D, Laurens1 examination of French policy. He also analyzes the effect the crisis had on the French public as seen See for example: Elmer Bendiner, A Time £or Ansels: the ~rasicomic Historv of the Leaque of Nations (New York: Alfred A.

These works of course are pro-Italian propaganda pieces published in English and aimed at British audiences and therefore need to be consulted with caution. They are also revealing in showing how Italy aspired to an -pire that was part of the British and French experience.

  • Neville Chamberlain's Announcement of the Introduction of Conscription To
    FRANCO-BRITISH RELATIONS AND THE QUESTION OF CONSCRIPTION IN BRITAIN, 1938-1939 ABSTRACT - This article examines the relationship interaction between the French campaign for the introduction of British conscription during 1938-39 and the ebbs and flows of British public opinion on the same issue. In particular, it will demonstrate how French pressure for conscription varied in intensity depending on their perceptions of British opinion on the subject. It was this interaction between diplomatic and domestic pressures that ultimately compelled the British government to introduce conscription in April 1939. Furthermore, the issue of conscription also sheds light on the wider issue of Franco-British relations, revealing how French foreign policy was neither dictated by an ‘English Governess’ nor pursued independently of Great Britain. When Neville Chamberlain announced the introduction of conscription to the House of Commons on 26 April 1939 he not only reneged on previous promises but deviated from the traditional British aversion to peacetime compulsory service. Chamberlain defended himself by arguing that current international tensions could not be described as ‘peace-time in any sense in which the term could fairly be used’.1 Nonetheless, introducing conscription – albeit in a limited form2 – was alien to British tradition. How, therefore, can the decision be explained? What motivated the government to take such a step? This article sheds new light on the British decision to implement conscription in April 1939, moving beyond existing analyses by showing that the decision was motivated not only by a fusion of domestic and international pressures but by the interaction of the two. More specifically, contends that French pressure for British conscription ebbed and flowed in direct correlation to the French government’s perceptions of the British public’s attitude towards compulsory military service.

Chapel Hill 2007 Approved by: Advisor: Dr. Christopher Browning Reader: Dr. Konrad Jarausch Reader: Dr. Lloyd Kramer Reader: Dr. Michael Hunt Reader: Dr. Terence McIntosh ©2007 Kevin Mason ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Kevin Mason: Building an Unwanted Nation: The Anglo-American Partnership and Austrian Proponents of a Separate Nationhood, 1918-1934 (Under the direction of Dr. Christopher Browning) This project focuses on American and British economic, diplomatic, and cultural ties with Austria, and particularly with internal proponents of Austrian independence. Primarily through loans to build up the economy and diplomatic pressure, the United States and Great Britain helped to maintain an independent Austrian state and prevent an Anschluss or union with Germany from 1918 to 1934. In addition, this study examines the minority of Austrians who opposed an Anschluss . The three main groups of Austrians that supported independence were the Christian Social Party, monarchists, and some industries and industrialists. These Austrian nationalists cooperated with the Americans and British in sustaining an unwilling Austrian nation. Ultimately, the global depression weakened American and British capacity to practice dollar and pound diplomacy, and the popular appeal of Hitler combined with Nazi Germany’s aggression led to the realization of the Anschluss .

  • Yvon Delbos and Anthony Eden: Anglo-French Cooperation, 1936-38
    1 YVON DELBOS AND ANTHONY EDEN: ANGLO-FRENCH COOPERATION, 1936-38 Glyn Stone Anthony Eden was appointed foreign secretary at the end of 1935 following the dismissal of Sir Samuel Hoare for his part in the infamous Hoare-Laval Pact. Yvon Delbos, a member of the Radical party, became French foreign minister six months later as a result of the victory of the Popular Front in the May 1936 elections. Eden resigned as foreign secretary on 20 February 1938. Delbos followed suit less than four weeks later on 14 March 1938. When he became foreign secretary at the age of thirty eight, Eden was already the ambitious, rising star of the Conservative party and had accumulated an impressive degree of experience in foreign affairs having been parliamentary private secretary to foreign secretary Austen Chamberlain between 1926 and 1929, under secretary of state for foreign affairs from September 1931 until January 1934 when he became lord privy seal, and then in June 1935 minister of league of nations affairs (without portfolio). In comparison, Delbos was far less experienced, as Robert Young has observed: Yvon Delbos went to the Quai d’Orsay in his early fifties, equipped with a respectable if unspectacular reputation as a competent member of the Chamber and as a journalist with special interest in foreign affairs. A quiet, moderate man of modest political ambitions…Significantly, in a political world renowned for its gastronomic and alcoholic excesses, here was one, a curiosity, who did not suffer from liver complaints. But he was not the sort of man from whom one could expect either brilliance or novelty in foreign policy.1 Yet, the two foreign ministers developed a good working relationship and contributed much to the improvement in Anglo-French relations after the Abyssinian debacle and the mutual recrimination of the Rhineland crisis.

  • “The Whole Lot, Czechs, Magyars, Poles, Jugos, Roumanians, Should Be Put in a Bag and Shaken up and Then Handed Over to A
    “The whole lot, Czechs, Magyars, Poles, Jugos, Roumanians, should be put in a bag and shaken up and then handed over to a decent Briton to administer.” A Contribution on the British Perception of Czech-German Relations in Czechoslovakia to 1933 Lukáš Novotný INTRODUCTION On 28 October 1918, the “Czechoslovak National Committee’s Proclamation of the In- dependence of the Czechoslovak State” was issued, formally declaring the establish- ment of a new state. At the end of November 1918 the first Czechoslovak President, Tomáš Garrigue Masaryk (TGM), sailed to Great Britain to meet with leading Brit- ish politicians on the future borders of the new state, although the peace conference which was to determine the Czechoslovak borders did not begin until 18 January 1919. TGM thought that London, alongside France, would play an important role in shaping the new state of affairs in Central Europe.1 The establishment of the Czechoslovak state at the end of October 1918 was a re- ality, which British politicians, or rather diplomats at the Foreign Office, would have to learn to work with. One illustration of this is an article entitled All Bohemia for the Czechs which stated that the representatives of the peace treaty had promised Karel Kramář and the future state the whole of historical Bohemia. William Tyrrell at the Foreign Office responded to this by asking whether that meant that the matter of the German areas in the north and west of Bohemia had now been definitively set- tled; he considered this to be of fundamental importance, and events were soon to prove him right.2 In mid-November 1918 in the Revolutionary National Assembly, the first Czechoslovak Prime Minister declared that the new state would not restrict its German citizens in any way in their cultural and language rights, but he also added that the state would be a Czech one.

    THE NAZI BLOOD PURGE OF 1934 APPRCWBD": \r H M^jor Professor 7 lOLi Minor Professor •n p-Kairman of the DeparCTieflat. of History / cr^LtxJ~<2^ Dean oiTKe Graduate School IV Burkholder, Vaughn, The Nazi Blood Purge of 1934. Master of Arts, History, August, 1972, 147 pp., appendix, bibliography, 160 titles. This thesis deals with the problem of determining the reasons behind the purge conducted by various high officials in the Nazi regime on June 30-July 2, 1934. Adolf Hitler, Hermann Goring, SS leader Heinrich Himmler, and others used the purge to eliminate a sizable and influential segment of the SA leadership, under the pretext that this group was planning a coup against the Hitler regime. Also eliminated during the purge were sundry political opponents and personal rivals. Therefore, to explain Hitler's actions, one must determine whether or not there was a planned putsch against him at that time. Although party and official government documents relating to the purge were ordered destroyed by Hermann GcTring, certain materials in this category were used. Especially helpful were the Nuremberg trial records; Documents on British Foreign Policy, 1919-1939; Documents on German Foreign Policy, 1918-1945; and Foreign Relations of the United States, Diplomatic Papers, 1934. Also, first-hand accounts, contem- porary reports and essays, and analytical reports of a /1J-14 secondary nature were used in researching this topic. Many memoirs, written by people in a position to observe these events, were used as well as the reports of the American, British, and French ambassadors in the German capital.
