  • Transportation Infrastructure and Regional Development in Northern Manitoba
    Transportation Infrastructure and Regional Development in Northern Manitoba: Realities and Prospects by Stephen Pratte A Thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate Studies of The University of Manitoba in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of MASTER OF ARTS Department of Environment and Geography University of Manitoba Winnipeg © 2012 Copyright by Stephen Pratte Abstract The relationship between transportation and economic development is well documented. Two requirements indispensable to this relationship are access (ability to reach a place) and connectivity (relationship of the place to others). The interaction of people and markets via transportation infrastructure facilitates trade and increased social interaction; all vital for development. This thesis examines the nature of access and connectivity of the multi-modal transport network (i.e. road, rail, water and air modes) of Northern Manitoba, a study area characterized by many small communities distributed in a vast area, with some having no year-round overland access, forcing them to rely on the seasonally constructed winter road system. Models of the four modal networks (graph theory) are used to analyze the transportation ’s structure, accessibility and connectivity for specific points in time with a view to network understand network change. Recommendations are offered that would facilitate the integration of transportation planning. i Acknowledgements Several acknowledgements of gratitude are required of those who guided the production of this thesis. First, to my thesis and program advisor Dr. Daniel Todd, whose insight and perspectives on the spheres of transport and development, and the ongoing discussions thereof, have been invaluable, both from a research and professional perspective.

  • British 8Th Infantry Division on the Western Front, 1914-1918
    Centre for First World War Studies British 8th Infantry Division on the Western Front, 1914-18 by Alun Miles THOMAS Thesis submitted to The University of Birmingham For the Degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY School of History and Cultures College of Arts & Law January 2010 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties.

ABSTRACT Recent years have seen an increasingly sophisticated debate take place with regard to the armies on the Western Front during the Great War. Some argue that the British and Imperial armies underwent a ‘learning curve’ coupled with an increasingly lavish supply of munitions, which meant that during the last three months of fighting the BEF was able to defeat the German Army as its ability to conduct operations was faster than the enemy’s ability to react. This thesis argues that 8th Division, a war-raised formation made up of units recalled from overseas, became a much more effective and sophisticated organisation by the war’s end. It further argues that the formation did not use one solution to problems but adopted a sophisticated approach dependent on the tactical situation.

  • 2.0 Native Land Use - Historical Period
    2.0 NATIVE LAND USE - HISTORICAL PERIOD The first French explorers arrived in the Red River valley during the early 1730s. Their travels and encounters with the aboriginal populations were recorded in diaries and plotted on maps, and with that, recorded history began for the region known now as the Lake Winnipeg and Red River basins. Native Movements Pierre Gaultier de Varennes et de La Vérendrye records that there were three distinct groups present in this region during the 1730s and 1740s: the Cree, the Assiniboine, and the Sioux. The Cree were largely occupying the boreal forest areas of what is now northern and central Manitoba. The Assiniboine were living and hunting along the parkland transitional zone, particularly the ‘lower’ Red River and Assiniboine River valleys. The Sioux lived on the open plains in the region of the upper Red River valley, and west of the Red River in upper reaches of the Mississippi water system. Approximately 75 years later, when the first contingent of Selkirk Settlers arrived in 1812, the Assiniboine had completely vacated eastern Manitoba and moved off to the west and southwest, allowing the Ojibwa, or Saulteaux, to move in from the Lake of the Woods and Lake Superior regions. Farther to the south in the United States, the Ojibwa or Chippewa also had migrated westward, and had settled in the Red Lake region of what is now north central Minnesota. By this time some of the Sioux had given up the wooded eastern portions of their territory and dwelt exclusively on the open prairie west of the Red and south of the Pembina River.

The thesis may not be reproduced elsewhere without the permission of the Author. “With the utmost precision and team play”: The 3rd New Zealand Division and Operation ‘Squarepeg’ A thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the Master of Arts (Defence & Strategic Studies) by Shaun Mawdsley Centre for Defence and Security Studies College of Humanities and Social Sciences Massey University 2013 ABSTRACT This thesis examines the influences and course of the 3rd New Zealand (NZ) Division’s preparations for Operation ‘Squarepeg’ in the Green Islands, in February 1944. It argues that as the largest New Zealand amphibious operation of the Second World War, ‘Squarepeg’ holds a key place in identifying the development of amphibious and jungle warfare doctrine within the New Zealand Army during the war. As such, it can indicate the abilities of the 3rd NZ Division to conduct combat operations in the South Pacific in 1944. The thesis shows that the New Zealand Army was unprepared for operations in the South Pacific, as it had neglected relevant inter-war developments. The hasty formation of the 3rd NZ Division in 1942, as a response to Japanese expansion in the South Pacific, served to highlight the challenges that the division and its commander, Major-General Harold Barrowclough, had to overcome. The studying of foreign doctrine to supplement the dearth of New Zealand material was vital for the 3rd NZ Division’s preparations for deployment.

  • Letting Clausewitz Go: the Lesson the Canadian Army Must Learn from Afghanistan
    Views and opinions Letting Clausewitz Go: The Lesson the Canadian Army Must Learn From AFghanistan by Andrew godefroy rubs this imposed Clausewitzian intellectual touchstone, there is, in reality, very little to be gained from trying to re-invent ourselves as 19th Century Prussian philosophers and general staff officers. Still, to simply chastise the Canadian Army for clinging to the ‘square peg’ of Clausewitz, and trying to stuff his wisdom into the round holes that are our real-life strategic, operational, and tactical problems, would be somewhat unfair. For Canada, as a traditionally supporting actor in the Cold War era NATO and ABCA land force juggernaut, having Clausewitz jammed down our collective throats by our larger and more influential allies was largely unavoidable. Yet now, especially after the Canadian campaign in Afghanistan, where the Army has repeatedly demonstrated its ability to achieve success by its own example, the Army must learn to let this dated and increasingly obtuse European philosopher that was forced upon us go. It is time to refocus more upon its own indigenous and arguably much more relevant strategic, operational, and tactical agents of military change. It remains difficult to judge which is worse – that too many army PowerPoint presentations still begin by telling us that the Cold War is over, or that despite this apparent revela- tion, we should, some two decades later, still myopically cling to the ideas of a man who so conveniently provided us with the military wisdom that might have allowed NATO to win a conventional defensive land war against the Soviet Army- Bildarchiv Preussischer Kulturbesitz/Art Resource, NY dominated Warsaw Pact had the Cold War ‘turned hot.’ Carl von Clausewitz.
