  • Once Upon a Time, 100 Years Ago in NAIC History…
    Once Upon a Time, 100 Years Ago in NAIC History… 1919: When world events and insurance collide 1919 was the end of the influenza pandemic, the most severe pandemic of any in recent history. Mortality was high in almost every age group, resulting in an estimated 50 million deaths worldwide. This, in turn, created heavy and unexpected burdens on life, accident and health insurance companies. A paper “The Effect of Influenza on Insurance” prepared by the Honorable Burton Mansfield, Insurance Commissioner of Connecticut and Thomas F. Tarbell, Actuary for the Connecticut Department, was presented during the Proceedings of the National Convention of Insurance Commissioners in September 1919. The Effect of Influenza on Insurance, 1919 NAIC Proceedings, pgs. 302-311 1 Tarbell’s report was also widely published and distributed in other insurance publications at the time, such as The Eastern Underwriter (Sept. 12, 1919) and The Spectator (Sept. 18, 1919). The Eastern Underwriter The Spectator The Effect of Influenza on Insurance: Report Background & Major Findings A circular letter was sent out to 32 life insurance companies doing business in the state of Connecticut to collect statistics on the effect of influenza upon mortality. Mr. Tarbell’s investigation was divided into three parts based on claims incurred during the same six periods dated October 1, 1915 – March 31, 1919: 1. The effect of influenza upon mortality and sickness 2. The effect of influenza upon the increase in new business 3. The effect of influenza upon premium rates 2 It was estimated that there was a 25% increase over the normal rate of mortality due to influenza, as respects to claims incurred up to December 31st, 1918.

  • Woodrow Wilson and the Inflation Issue, 1919-1920
    Decline of a Presidenc;r: Woodroi~ Wilson o.nd the Inflation Issue, 1919-1920. John J, Hanrahan' Department of history Morehead statelUniversity Morel1ead, Ky. 40351 ,l . c The Democrats lost the 1929 presidential election, historians agree, as a result of the cumulative effect of the resentments directed against. President Woodrow Wilson by progressives, farmers, and wor.kers, the coali- 1 I tion that had kept him in the White House.in 1916. Wilson· paid this price ! I of political· damage to his presidency and his patty by giving priority to , I ' world affairs. at the expense of domestic problems. Americans .came 'to see the President as a remote figure, absent at .the Versailles peace conference the first six !"cinths of 1919, preoccupied upon his return with the.treaty ratification struggle, and shielded in the White House for months following his October stroke. The President's aloofness from his own advisers and his fierce partisanship gave Republicans the chance to portray his·admin- istration as inept one-man government. They cqnvinced voters that•Wilson was responsible for the social and economic upheaval growing out of the postwar readjustment process. The Republicans returned to power OJ). the back of the anti-Wilson feeling that they helped create. A caption of a contemporary New York World cartoon, "The GOP washed in by the waves of r 'National Discontent'," captured the heart of the Democratic defeat. A major cause in the. revulsion against:Wilsonianism that was ktrik~ ingly manifested' in· the 1920 election was the Pre'sident 1 s failure to deal with inflation effectively, a factor that'has not been given sufficient weight in existing works on the immediate past.

The Impact of the 1918-1919 Influenza Epidemic on Virginia By Stephanie Forrest Barker Master of Arts in History, University of Richmond, 2002 R. Barry Westin, Thesis Director In the fall of 1918 an unparalleled influenza pandemic spread throughout the world. More than a quarter of Americans became ill, and at least 600,000 died. For many Virginians, this was a time of acute crisis that only could be compared to the days of the Civil War. This thesis describes Spanish influenza's impact on Virginia, primarily focusing on the cities of Newport News, Richmond, and Roanoke. It details influenza's emergence in Virginia and explores how state and city officials dealt with this unprecedented epidemic. This study examines how the epidemic disrupted daily routines of life and overwhelmed the state's medical community. This thesis briefly discusses the effect that the segregation of races had on the spread of influenza and the role that women played in battling the epidemic.

  • A Background Sketch of the Summer's Crisis
    Introduction: A Background Sketch of the Summer’s Crisis The trouble that was fermenting before the war, which broke upon a nation in which another crisis was rapidly germinating, is now coming fast to a head. A tremendous discontent possesses the soul of the people, and a violent passion to set things suddenly aright.1 ∵ With the acceptance of the first Sankey Report by the mfgb, the situation facing the government eased considerably, and Lloyd George was able to return to Paris to resume his place at the negotiating table. However, respite was temporary. By the beginning of July, he was back. The Sankey Commission had finished its investigation into nationalisation, and the country was once more entering a period of profound crisis. The crisis of the summer was composed of several elements. The optimism that had greeted Coalition promises of peace and reconstruction was rapidly dissipating. The transition from a war economy was proving difficult. Lloyd George privately admitted that a ‘burgeoning national debt, falling productiv- ity, loss of credit, and endemic strikes signalled Britain’s declining position’.2 Churchill’s support for the White armies in Russia was widely viewed as an act of base hypocrisy, undermining the idealistic rhetoric of the Versailles peace treaty. Liberals outside the government were outraged by the treaty itself. C.P. Scott, editor of the Manchester Guardian, told Lloyd George that whilst he had ‘not the least objection to Coalition in itself’, he objected strongly to such ‘surrenders of principle’ as had taken place at Versailles.3 Liberal concerns increased tensions within the Coalition, and there was a sense that the govern- ment might not last.

  • President Wilson's Visit to Sioux Falls, 1919
    Copyright © 1971 by the South Dakota State Historical Society. All Rights Reserved. President Wilson's Visit To Sioux Falls, 1919 RALPH R. TINGLEY "Not all citizens can accept the president's views on national and international policies. But differences of opinion on such matters detract nothing from the personal warmth of the welcome which thousands of South Dakotans will give to their president." With this hope for pubhc harmony. The Daily Argus-Leader of Sioux Falls noted the impending visit of President Woodrow Wilson and suggested that although South Dakota was "a hard-shell republican state" there would nevertheless be "an enthusiastic welcome to the president," who had been "chief executive during one of the most trying periods of the world's history" and who was traveling "to talk things over with the American people." ^ The time was September 1919 ; the topic was the Treaty of Versailles. It lay so heavily on the president's mind that he embarked upon a tour stretching from Columbus, Ohio, to Cahfomia and back to Colorado, where his collapse necessitated the cancellation of his remaining speeches. The president had broken precedent by going to Paris himself to negotiate a treaty following the armistice of November 1918, and when the United States Senate hesitated to approve his work, he took to the road to defend the treaty against both those who demanded modifications and those who opposed the treaty even with proposed reservations. Many criticized incorporating the League 1. Daily Argus Leader, ^Se^i. 1919, p. 4. Copyright © 1971 by the South Dakota State Historical Society.

The war’s long-term effects were so devastating that it is fair to say no clear dividing-line separates the war itself from the post-war period; nearly 10 million men died, in other words, one in seven of all soldiers; 21 million were wounded; millions of widows, orphans and other grieving relatives were left behind to mourn their dead. The war’s aftermath produced countless human tragedies; nearly every family continued to feel the emotional and psychological effects for years to come.1 To take the single year of 1919 and consider it as a specific historical subject in its own right thus constitutes another way to question traditional chronology, which tends to view the Armistice of 11 November 1918 and the subsequent peace treaties as the two decisive markers in the return to peace. In reality, 1919 constitutes at most a step – but only a step – in what historians now call ‘the transition from war to peace’, in French, la sortie de guerre. This term refers to a transition period of several years, characterised by the return home of soldiers and prisoners of war, the pacification of the belligerent nations and the far slower demobilisa- tion of minds and attitudes, or what is also called ‘cultural demobilisation’.2 This process was far from straightforward.
