    The Liquidation of Denikin and Yudenich October 1919 – March 1920 “. Победить Деникина, уничтожить его, сделать невозможным повторение подобного нашествия – таков коренной интерес и Великорусских, и Украинских рабочих и крестьян.” “. To defeat Denikin, to annihilate him, to have made impossible for a similar invasion to recur – this is the main interest of the Great Russians, and the Ukrainian workers and peasants.” 45 Map 7 The Liquidation of Denikin and Yudenich // October 1919 – March 1920 Colored lithographic print, 99 x 64 cm. Compilers: A. N. de-Lazari and N. N. Lesevitskii Artist: N. D. Kazantsev Historical Background and Thematic Design The seventh map in the series depicts the Red Army’s defeat of the White counterrevolutionary forces of Gen- erals Denikin and Yudenich in the fall and winter of 1919-20. The map’s dominant visual image is the surge of Red Army soldiers, including soldiers with rifles and bayo- nets or cavalry with lances, who pursue White opposition forces into southern Russia and Ukraine, northern Russia, the Trans-Caspian, Crimea, Caucasus, Estonia, and Galicia, where they are illustrated as either hold- ing defensive positions, in flight, wounded, or killed. Bold red spearheads depict the movements of Red Ar- my forces, while green arrows indicate the defensive movement and retreat of White forces. Red is the dominant color and identifies the territory under control of the Red Army and the Soviet govern- ment. Green identifies territory remaining under White control, whereas gray indicates the area still being contested. Defeat of White Forces Overextended, outnumbered, and without local or international support, the White forces in southern Russia fell into a general retreat approximately 240 miles short of Moscow.

Papers, [Box #, Folder #], Special Collections Research Center, University of Chicago Library Biographical Note John Manfred Rise (1899-1970) was a student at the College University of Chicago from 1918 to 1920. Scope Note The papers of John Manfred Rise (1898-1970) paint a vivid picture of student life at the University of Chicago during the late 'teens. Rise was a student in the College from 1918-1920 and in letters home to his mother and friends he tells of "typical" student life of the time. He comments on campus food, the entertainment available in Hyde Park and Chicago, class work and lectures, and late night talks with friends where such questions as whether or not all women were "inveterate liars" were discussed. From these papers, one gleans an idea not only of early student life at the University of Chicago, but also a sense of the character of the student experience.

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.

Influenza Outbreak of 1918-1919 by Steve Case, revised by Lisa Gregory, 2010 NC Government and Heritage Library [2] See also: NC and Influenza (WWI) [3]; Public Health [4]; Infectious Diseases [5] Detail of cartoon featured in October 1919 issue of The Health Bulletin [6]From the Spring of 1918 through early 1919, as nations experienced the upheaval of World War One, an influenza pandemic [7] ran through North Carolina. In April 1919, Dr. William Rankin, the Secretary of the State Board of Health and a noted proponent of health education, reported the death of over 13,600 North Carolinians from influenza, and estimated that approximately 1,000,000 of North Carolina's 2.5 million inhabitants had caught the disease. Nationally, the disease killed around 700,000, and some estimates suggest anywhere from 50 to 100 million died worldwide. Known alternately as "the grippe," the "Spanish flu," and the "Spanish lady," the influenza A strain from this pandemic was particularly virulent, hitting the United States in multiple waves. There were a number of complicating factors that influenced the spread of the epidemic. Coming as it did during the height of the United States' involvement in World War One [8], such measures as the state took to combat the flu were often overshadowed by the patriotic fervor accompanying the war. In addition, the cause of the disease was unknown, and many hesitated even diagnosing it as influenza. Other diseases, like typhoid fever and tuberculosis, were affecting the state at the same time.
