Divisions in Mexican Support of Republican Spain
1 Divisions In Mexican Support Of Republican Spain Carlos Nava [email protected] (214) 245-8209 Presented to the History Department, Southern Methodist University In completion of the Undergraduate History Junior Seminar Research Paper Requirement HIST 4300 Dr. James K. Hopkins Southern Methodist University 05/05/2014 2 On July 17, 1936 the news of the Nationalist uprising in Morocco was confirmed by a radio station at Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, after General Franco alerted his fellow conspirators in the mainland with a telegram that the uprising against the Popular Front government of Spain had begun.1 General Quiepo de Llano occupied Seville after bitter fighting on July 18; General Varela held the port of Cádiz and the eastern coast down to Algeciras near Gibraltar. General Miguel Cabanellas rose in Zaragoza; in Castile the rebellion placed the principal towns In Nationalist hands, and General Mola controlled Pamplona, the capital of Navarre by July 19.2 The initial plan of the coup was for the Army of Africa to mobilize in the early morning of July 18, to be followed 24 hours later by the Army in Spain with the goals of capturing the country’s major cities and communication centers. This would be followed with the ferrying of Franco’s African Army to the peninsula by Navy ships that had joined the rebellion. The forces would converge in Madrid and force the transfer of power, which had happen numerous times in recent Spanish history. However, the uprising of July 17 failed in its initial goal of toppling the Republic in a swift coup. -

Inspiration for this thesis comes from a desire to understand an important participant of the Revolution, Venustiano Carranza, whose story deserves further investigation because of his catalytic role in the ten-year conflict. This thesis poses the argument that fluctuations in the rhetoric of Carranza’s Constitutionalist campaign reflect a sense of willingness on his part to adapt strategically to new contexts; however, to show deep conviction, he always stood behind a platform that was characterized by an unwavering faith in the political doctrine of constitutionality. -
Guide to Japan's Flow of Funds Accounts
Guide to Japan's Flow of Funds Accounts Research and Statistics Department Bank of Japan Introduction The Bank of Japan has been compiling the Flow of Funds Accounts Statistics (the FFA) since 1958, covering the data from 1954. The FFA is released quarterly; preliminary data is released about three months later, and revised data about six months later. In principle, the FFA is revised retroactively once a year. The FFA is a matrix showing financial transactions among various economic entities, and corresponding stock data on financial claims and liabilities of them. It records movements of financial assets and liabilities among institutional units called sectors, such as financial institutions, corporations and households, for each financial instrument called transaction items such as deposits and loans. Being extremely detailed and having wide coverage, the FFA is very useful, but on the other hand, it sometimes adopts unique principles and concepts, and has original definition of sectors and transactions items. Therefore, in using the FFA, it is necessary to accurately understand its features. To help users fulfill their needs better, the Research and Statistics Department publishes a booklet explaining the overall concept of the FFA; it also defines individual sectors and items. The booklet is comprised of the following chapters. The first chapter outlines the FFA, and chapter two explains considerations to be made from a statistical viewpoint. Then, chapter three and four describe definition and scope of each figure by sectors and by transaction items. Compilation method of the FFA is outlined in chapter five. Chapter six details the relationship between the FFA and other statistics in order to provide better understanding of the framework of the FFA. -

Adolfo Gilly's Revision of the Mexican Revolution
Vol. 4, No. 2, Winter 2007, 243-253 www.ncsu.edu/project/acontracorriente Review/Reseña Adolfo Gilly. The Mexican Revolution: A People’s History. Trans. Patrick Camiller. (New York: The New Press, 2005) From Marxism to Social History: Adolfo Gilly’s Revision of The Mexican Revolution Luis F. Ruiz University of Oregon Adolfo Gilly’s The Mexican Revolution, published in The New Press’s series A People’s History, directed by Howard Zinn, is an updated translation of his influential book La Revolución interrumpida, published originally in 1971. Gilly’s book is a welcome addition to the available literature in English on the Mexican Revolution. Most of the recent books on the Mexican Revolution are either specialized studies of regional history or extensive volumes Ruiz 244 that would overwhelm a good number of undergraduate students and lay readers. With the exception of Michael J. Gonzales’s The Mexican Revolution 1910-1940 (2002), few works in English provide the kind of useful overview presented by Gilly in The Mexican Revolution (2005). Because Gilly focuses on the lower classes and their role as “prime movers” of the revolutionary movement, his work could be described as a bottom-up social history of the Mexican Revolution. His study of class warfare and class relations provides a reasonable interpretation of the complex revolutionary process. Although recent studies on regionalism have made the overall narrative of the Mexican Revolution less succinct and more problematic, historians still need to discuss the event as a whole. Gilly’s work offers one possible interpretive framework for the Mexican Revolution. -
Rice Asian Studies Review
Rice Asian Studies Review Volume 3 2018-19 Issue rasr.rice.edu ABOUT RICE ASIAN STUDIES REVIEW i Asia in the 21st century is undergoing rapid political, economic, and cultural change. As people, goods, ideas, and cultures reverse colonial fow and begin emanating from Asia across the globe, it is clear that the scholarly lens through which Asia has traditionally been approached by Western-trained academics is sorely in need of revision. Te Rice Asian Studies Review (RASR), as an undergraduate Asia- focused academic journal authored, edited, and published by students, situates itself on the front-line of this process by providing a venue for young scholars to exhibit their own ideas and learn from those of their peers. Our goal is produce a compilation of diverse, unconventional, and informed Asian studies perspectives. As authors, editors, and publishers come together in the production of RASR, this fresh cohort of 21st century scholars hopes to promote a dynamic, modern, and interdisciplinary approach to Asian Studies.
