  • The Night Operation on the Passchendaele Ridge, 2Nd December 1917
    Centre for First World War Studies A Moonlight Massacre: The Night Operation on the Passchendaele Ridge, 2nd December 1917 by Michael Stephen LoCicero Thesis submitted to The University of Birmingham for the Degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY School of History and Cultures College of Arts & Law June 2011 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties. The intellectual property rights of the author or third parties in respect of this work are as defined by The Copyright Designs and Patents Act 1988 or as modified by any successor legislation. Any use made of information contained in this thesis/dissertation must be in accordance with that legislation and must be properly acknowledged. Further distribution or reproduction in any format is prohibited without the permission of the copyright holder. Abstract The Third Battle of Ypres was officially terminated by Field Marshal Sir Douglas Haig with the opening of the Battle of Cambrai on 20 November 1917. Nevertheless, a comparatively unknown set-piece attack – the only large-scale night operation carried out on the Flanders front during the campaign – was launched twelve days later on 2 December. This thesis, a necessary corrective to published campaign narratives of what has become popularly known as „Passchendaele‟, examines the course of events from the mid-November decision to sanction further offensive activity in the vicinity of Passchendaele village to the barren operational outcome that forced British GHQ to halt the attack within ten hours of Zero. A litany of unfortunate decisions and circumstances contributed to the profitless result.

    Note: Original spelling is retained for this document and all that follow. Appendix 1: Primary source and background documents Document No. 1: Germany's Declaration of War with Russia, August 1, 1914 Presented by the German Ambassador to St. Petersburg The Imperial German Government have used every effort since the beginning of the crisis to bring about a peaceful settlement. In compliance with a wish expressed to him by His Majesty the Emperor of Russia, the German Emperor had undertaken, in concert with Great Britain, the part of mediator between the Cabinets of Vienna and St. Petersburg; but Russia, without waiting for any result, proceeded to a general mobilisation of her forces both on land and sea. In consequence of this threatening step, which was not justified by any military proceedings on the part of Germany, the German Empire was faced by a grave and imminent danger. If the German Government had failed to guard against this peril, they would have compromised the safety and the very existence of Germany. The German Government were, therefore, obliged to make representations to the Government of His Majesty the Emperor of All the Russias and to insist upon a cessation of the aforesaid military acts. Russia having refused to comply with this demand, and having shown by this refusal that her action was directed against Germany, I have the honour, on the instructions of my Government, to inform your Excellency as follows: His Majesty the Emperor, my august Sovereign, in the name of the German Empire, accepts the challenge, and considers himself at war with Russia.

Alfred Harmsworth, Lord Northcliffe (1865-1922), acquired The Times newspaper in 1908. In adding the most influential and reliable voice of the British establishment and of Imperially- fostered globalisation to his growing portfolio of newspapers and magazines, Northcliffe aroused some opposition among those who feared that he would rely on his seemingly infallible ear for the popular note and lower the tone and weaken the authority of The Times. Northcliffe had long hoped to prise this trophy from the control of the Walters family, convinced of his ability to make more of the paper than they had, and from the beginning applied his singular energy and intuition to improving the fortunes of ‘The Thunderer’.

  • How Did German Policy from January 1917 Onward Cause
    HOW DID GERMAN POLICY FROM JANUARY 1917 ONWARD CAUSE THE UNITED STATES TO DECLARE WAR? Zimmerman Papers were famous because they exposed a German plot to enlist Mexico into an alliance with Germany in a war against the U.S. Prior to U.S. entry into WWI, Germany's unrestricted submarine warfare most challenged the nations' neutrality - Freedom of navigation on the seas was central to President Wilson's foreign policy from 1914 to 1917 - Germany's declaration of its intent to wage unrestricted submarine warfare had the greatest effect in moving the U.S. toward WWI Evidence supporting this position includes: - The sinking of the Lusitania - The Sussex Pledge - Wilson's decision to break off diplomatic relations with Germany - Wilson's war message to Congress, April 1917 On April 2, 1917, Wilson asked Congress for a declaration of war on Germany for the following reasons: - German submarines sinking U.S. merchant ships most influenced President Wilson's decision - German's autocratic government & Germany's plans for military victory - Sympathy for the democracies of Britain & France - The Russian Revolution - According to Wilson WWI was waged "to make the world safe for democracy" After President Wilson's second inauguration, many Americans consider his campaign slogan "He kept us out of war" ironic: because "He requested Congress issued a declaration of war on Germany" ASSESS THE INFLUENCE OF U.S.' INVOLVEMENT IN WWI ON THE FOLLOWING: - AFRICAN AMERICANS - WOMEN - CIVIL LIBERTIES - BUSINESS - PROPAGANDA African Americans - The first massive
