77 th Annual Meeting SOCIETY FOR MILITARY HISTORY CausesCauses Lost Lost & Won May 20-23, 2010 HostedHosted by by VirginiaVirginia Military Military Institute Institute and and GeorgeGeorge C. C. Marshall Marshall Foundation Foundation On behalf of Virginia Military Institute and the George C. Marshall Foundation we welcome you to Lexington for the 77th Annual Meeting of the Society for Military History. We are pleased to host the event this year. WELCOME The Society is important to both our organizations, both of which are deeply rooted in history wedded to the ex- traordinary work of the Society. The Journal of Military History is published by the Society for Military History, the Virginia Military Institute, and the Marshall Founda- tion. All three organizations share a deep connection with George C. Marshall. He graduated from VMI in 1901 as First Captain of the Corps of Cadets; the Marshall Foun- dation preserves and promotes his legacy, and the Society for Military History sponsors the annual George C. Marshall Lecture. We encourage you to walk through the VMI Post and to explore the charm of historic Lexington during your visit. A college town that’s probably similar to many of your own, Lexington enjoys a proud legacy associated with George Washington, Stonewall Jackson, and Robert E. Lee, extraordinary leaders of their day as well. Please enjoy yourself while you are here. We look forward to meeting you and to spending the next few days together. General J.H.

Ricks Senior fellow, Center for New American Security Contributing editor, Foreign Policy magazine Special military correspondent, The Washington Post Author, Fiasco and The Gamble, about Iraq Thomas Ricks is the author of Fiasco: The American Military Adventure in Iraq, 2003-05, which was a No. 1 New York Times bestseller and a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize in 2007. His second book on that war, The Gamble: General Petraeus and the American Military Adventure in Iraq, 2006-08, was published in February 2009, and became a New York Times bestseller. He wrote Making the Corps, which won the Washington Monthly's “Political Book of the Year” award. In addition to his newspaper work, he has written on defense matters for the Atlantic Monthly and other publications. His first novel, A Soldier's Duty, about the U.S. military intervening in Afghanistan, was published by Random House in June 2001—some four months before the U.S. actually did intervene there. He covered the U.S. military for the Washington Post from 2000 through 2008. (Until the end of 1999 he had the same beat at the Wall Street Journal, where he was a reporter for 17 years.) He has reported on U.S. military activities in Somalia, Haiti, Korea, Bosnia, Kosovo, Macedonia, Kuwait, Turkey, Afghanistan and Iraq. In January 2009 he joined the Center for a New American Security, where he serves as a coun- selor and is researching the history of American officership, in particular the Ameri- can idea of what a general should do and be. He became a contributing editor for Foreign Policy magazine, for which he writes a blog called “The Best Defense.” Born in Massachusetts in 1955, he grew up in New York and Afghanistan and grad- uated magna cum laude from Yale in 1977. He now lives in Silver Spring, Maryland, with his wife. For recreation he enjoys whitewater kayaking, downhill skiing and reading military history. He is a member of the Inter-University Seminar on Armed Forces and Society, the Society for Military History, and the International Institute for Strategic Studies. 5 SPECIAL THANKS Virginia Military Institute VMI Center for Leadership and Ethics George C. Marshall Foundation Hunter Defense Technologies Lexington and Rockbridge Visitor Center New Market Battlefield State Historical Park The National D-Day Memorial Foundation FIELD TRIPS field Trip to the national d-day memorial, Bedford, Virginia friday, may 21st, 1:30–5:30 pm The lessons and legacy of D-Day are remembered and preserved at the National D- Day Memorial. This is a place where visitors discover and recognize the worthy service of those who answer duty’s call and a place where gravity and dignity are hallmarks. Led by Col. William A. McIntosh, D-Day Memorial Foundation presi- dent, this personal tour will include one hour at the memorial site and one hour to walk around the grounds and gift shop. Staff Ride: Executive director’s Tour of new market Battlefield State Historical Park, new market, Virginia Saturday, may 22nd, 12:00–5:00 pm (lunch provided) The core area of this pivotal battle fought on 15 May 1864 has been owned and in- terpreted by VMI since 1964. The crossroads village of New Market became a bat- tlefield when Confederate MG John Breckinridge, former Vice President of the United States, turned back the advancing Union Army under German born MG Franz Sigel. In an effort to bolster his slight numbers, Breckinridge called out the VMI Cadet Corps which found itself in the center of the fight at the pivotal mo- ment. Victory was determined by their actions. The tour will be conducted by COL Keith Gibson and the staff of the battlefield park. In addition to a discussion of the evolution of the battle and leadership principles demonstrated, the group will also explore civilian experience as revealed by the Bushong family on whose farm the battle played out. 6 MAP OF VMI POST US 11 Lexington Bypass 8 7 6 5 PARADE GROUND 3 to Lexington 1 2 4 MAP KEY & SESSION LOCATIONS 1.

KALAMA'S 1938 MAP: ACCULTURATION OR TRANSCULTURATION? IV. POLITICS AND LAND IN THE MID-1800s V. PRINCE LOT KAPUAIWA AND THE BOUNDARY COMMISSION VI. (RE)MAPPING THE HAWAIIAN STATE VII. CONCLUSIONS I. INTRODUCTION The early to mid-1800s was an era of tremendous cultural and socio­ political change for Hawai'i and its native people. A wave of outside influences swept through the islands, inundating the ruling ali'i (chiefs) as well as the maka'ainana (commoners). In addition to many new technologies and materials, this wave introduced ideologies, cultural norms and worldviews foreign to Hawai'i. The establishment of the Kingdom of Hawai'i, with its adoption of and adaptation to "modem" forms of government and policy, represented a fundamental change to Hawaiian society. The ruling ali'i struggled to maintain the sovereignty of their islands in the midst of foreign attempts to gain control over the lands and resources of Hawai'i. Policies implemented during these difficult years may have been a mix of policies that the ali'i were pressured to implement and others ali'i strategically implemented in their attempts to secure their nation's political and cultural future. One of those policies -- the surveying and mapping of Kingdom lands -- not only had political and economic implications, but affected traditional Hawaiian concepts of land di vision and palena (place boundaries). Scholars have suggested that western surveys and maps are tools used to aid "colonizers" in the dispossession of native people from their native lands.

    Small States and the Challenge of Sovereignty

    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by OpenGrey Repository Small States and the Challenge of Sovereignty: Commonwealth Caribbean Offshore Financial Centers and Tax Competition William B. Vlcek Thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in International Relations The London School of Economics and Political Science University of London 2006 ABSTRACT The dynamics of inter-state relations and state sovereignty have been disturbed by late-20th century globalisation. Yet the literature on the international system, globalisation and international political economy gives scant attention to the most vulnerable sovereign entities, the small and micro states. One significant exception has been the Commonwealth, with its many small state members. Another is the area of financial crime, and the role of the offshore financial centre (OFC) within global finance. This thesis analyses the efforts of several small Commonwealth states from the Caribbean to maintain their OFCs in the face of an OECD-directed campaign against tax competition. It demonstrates both the contribution made to economic development by an OFC and the successful assertion of sovereignty achieved by these small states. The case study focuses on Caribbean OFCs and the OECD campaign against harmful tax competition during 1998 - 2003. First, the argument that tax competition is a global problem is deconstructed. Three main points from the small states’ response to the OECD position are explored, along with the OECD’s rebuttal. Because the small states are individually at a disadvantage, the thesis provides an exposition of the collective response facilitated by the Commonwealth.

Bringing citizens and citizen soldiers together through the exploration of military history, topics, and current affairs, this is Pritzker Military Presents. (Applause) Williams: Welcome to Pritzker Military Presents with editor Edward J. Marolda discussing his book, Combat at Close Quarters: An Illustrated History of the US Navy in the Vietnam War. I’m your host Jay Williams, and this program is coming to you from the Pritzker Military Museum and Library in downtown Chicago. It’s sponsored by the US Naval Institute. This program and hundreds more are available on demand at PritzkerMilitary.org. The enormous scale of land operations in the Vietnam War and the focus of the news media on land campaigns often leads us to forget that America’s direct military involvement in Vietnam was significantly escalated by the result of a conflict at sea. In August 1964 evidence suggested that North Vietnamese torpedo boats attacked two US Navy destroyers, the USS Maddox and USS Turner Joy, patrolling near their coast in the Gulf of Tonkin. This prompted the United States to immediately rapidly ramp up its involvement on the Vietnamese Peninsula. Throughout the Vietnam War the US Navy played a major role in important combat missions, including air operations, coastal surveillance, surface gun fire support, and logistics. With a total of 1.8 million sailors serving in Southeast Asia during the conflict, the navy provided the US Military with key strategic support to conduct extensive campaigns both from the air and on land by controlling the seas, by direct attack, and by standing as a constant reminder of American military might.

    Missionaries to Government Service

    Missionaries to Government Service Over the course of a little over 40-years (1820-1863 - the “Missionary Period”), about 180-men and women in twelve Companies served in Hawaiʻi to carry out the mission of the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions (ABCFM) in the Hawaiian Islands. A few of the missionaries left the mission and ultimately worked for the Hawaiian Government; for the most part, they left the mission because the King asked for their assistance working directly for the Kingdom. These included William Richards, Gerritt P Judd, Lorrin Andrews and Richard Armstrong. William Richards William Richards was the first to leave. King Kamehameha III and chiefs, who felt the need of reform in their government, asked Richards to become their teacher, chaplain and interpreter. With the consent of the ABCFM, he accepted this position and resigned his appointment as missionary and then spent his time urging the improvement of the political system. William Richards, the seventh child and third son of James and Lydia (Shaw) Richards, was born at Plainfield, Massachusetts, August 22, 1793. His grandparents were Joseph and Sarah (Whitmarsh) Richards, and Captain Ebenezer and Ann (Molson) Shaw. The Richards family is descended from William Richards, who came to Plymouth before 1633, and ultimately settled in Weymouth, Massachusetts. William was a younger brother of James Richards, Jr. In the summer of 1806, in a grove of trees, in what was then known as Sloan's Meadow at Williams College, James Richards, Samuel John Mills, Francis L Robbins, Harvey Loomis and Byram Green debated the theology of missionary service.

    The notions of International Relations (IR) in capital letters and international relations (ir) in lowercase letters have two different meanings. The first refers to a scholarly discipline while the second one means a set of contemporary events with historical importance, which influences global-politics. In order to make observations, formulate theories and describe patterns within the framework of ‘IR’, one needs to fully comprehend specific events related to ‘ir’. It is why the Institute for Cultural Relations Policy (ICRP) believes that a timeline on which all the significant events of international relations are identified might be beneficial for students, scholars or professors who deal with International Relations. In the following document all the momentous wars, treaties, pacts and other happenings are enlisted with a monthly division, which had considerable impact on world-politics. January 1800 | Nationalisation of the Dutch East Indies The Dutch East Indies was a Dutch colony that became modern Indonesia following World War II. It was formed 01 from the nationalised colonies of the Dutch East India Company, which came under the administration of the Dutch government in 1800. 1801 | Establishment of the United Kingdom On 1 January 1801, the Kingdom of Great Britain and the Kingdom of Ireland united to form the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland. Most of Ireland left the union as the Irish Free State in 1922, leading to the remaining state being renamed as the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland in 1927. 1804 | Haiti independence declared The independence of Haiti was recognized by France on 17 April 1825.
