Ross Toole This thesis examines the German-American w its in Montana as they represent themselves in their own newspaper, the Montana Staats-Zeitung, before and during World War I. Primary research sources were articles and editorials printed in the German press during the war years, 191** to 1917, and records of the Montana Council of Defense. Most articles used were printed originally in German. They were translated into English and organized themat­ ically by chapters. The Germans in Montana, as well as in other states, were a distinct and separate entity of American society, who sought to preserve their cultural uniqueness by sup­ porting German businesses and promoting German unity. Their interests and activities were manifested in the pages of their newspaper. The thesis documents that the German newspaper, which served as a voice for this ethnic group, came under such tremendous pressure during World War I, that it was forced to close down. Continuing to publish a newspaper in the German language while the United States was at war with Germany proved to be an impossible task for its editor, Dr. Karl Weiss. The thesis concludes that anti-German sentiment grew rapidly in this country during wartime, and these "for­ eigners", the vast majority of whom were loyal citizens, were subjected to all kinds of persecution, simply because of their ethnic origin. Public consciousness at this time in history was characterized by "Americanism" and patriotism swept the country at a feverish pitch, never again to be felt with such intensity.

Signature:……………………………………… 3 Summary Due to their characteristic themes (such as „perverse‟ desire and monstrosity) and form (incoherence and excess), exploitation films are often celebrated as inherently subversive or transgressive. I critically assess such claims through a close reading of the films of the Spanish „sex and horror‟ specialist Jess Franco. My textual and contextual analysis shows that Franco‟s films are shaped by inter-relationships between authorship, international genre codes and the economic and ideological conditions of exploitation cinema. Within these conditions, Franco‟s treatment of „aberrant‟ and gothic desiring subjectivities appears contradictory. Contestation and critique can, for example, be found in Franco‟s portrayal of emasculated male characters, and his female vampires may offer opportunities for resistant appropriation.

  • War of 1812 Booklist Be Informed • Be Entertained 2013
    War of 1812 Booklist Be Informed • Be Entertained 2013 The War of 1812 was fought between the United States and Great Britain from June 18, 1812 through February 18, 1815, in Virginia, Maryland, along the Canadian border, the western frontier, the Gulf Coast, and through naval engagements in the Great Lakes and the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. In the United States frustrations mounted over British maritime policies, the impressments of Americans into British naval service, the failure of the British to withdraw from American territory along the Great Lakes, their backing of Indians on the frontiers, and their unwillingness to sign commercial agreements favorable to the United States. Thus the United States declared war with Great Britain on June 18, 1812. It ended with the signing of the Treaty of Ghent on December 24, 1814, although word of the treaty did not reach America until after the January 8, 1815 Battle of New Orleans. An estimated 70,000 Virginians served during the war. There were some 73 armed encounters with the British that took place in Virginia during the war, and Virginians actively fought in Maryland, Virginia, and Ohio and in naval engagements. The nation’s capitol, strategically located off the Chesapeake Bay, was a prime target for the British, and the coast of Virginia figured prominently in the Atlantic theatre of operations. The War of 1812 helped forge a national identity among the American states and laid the groundwork for a national system of homeland defense and a professional military. For Canadians it also forged a national identity, but as proud British subjects defending their homes against southern invaders.

I believe this report will show that the Commission effectively met its responsibility, and that the ~ercentenary obs~rvance instilled in the people of our state a renewfd spirit of pride in the New Jersey heritage.

  • The Ljubljana Gap
    the Ljubljana Gap T H I N K we have these Huns at the top of the toboggan slide and the full crash of the Russian offensive should put the skids under them.” So wrote a jubilant Marshall with uncharacteristic slanginess to President Roosevelt on June 14. He was still glowing after his visit to the American landing area in Normandy.1 Marshall, Arnold, and King had arrived over Scotland a few days earlier after an uneventful flight across the Atlantic, but heavy fog prevented their planes from landing at the intended destination, Prestwick. After an hour and a half of circling over the invisible airfield they were di- verted to Valley, an Air Transport Command base in the northwest tip of Wales, where no preparations had been made to receive them. Colonel McCarthy, sent over several days before to help make arrangements, had gone on to Prestwick with the controversial special train furnished by the Services of Supply commander, General Lee. McCarthy had passed on Marshall’s instructions that Lee was not to meet the party, since he un- doubtedly had more important things to do in the first days of the land- ings in Normandy. To McCarthy’s astonishment General Lee met the train, “booted, spurred, and replete with riding crop.” But fog had spoiled his welcome. The fussy General, whose initials, JCHL, were some- times interpreted as “John Court House Lee” or “Jesus Christ Himself Lee,” stood lonely at the Prestwick station waiting for the VIPs who did not appear. Bad weather, train delays, unforeseen changes in plans conspired in the first hours of arrival to remind the Chiefs of Staff that they, too, like ordi- nary soldiers, sailors, and airmen, could also “hurry up and wait.” When they finally landed at Valley, they found that the best course of action was to flag down the Irish Mail, a London-bound express.
