What Were the Main Causes of World War I? What we need to do is think about the British Army as an institution and a very representative institution of British society at the time. The army is a microcosm of that. How did these lessons get transmitted and how did people learn new stuff? She gets into that. Ultimately, the picture that comes back is much more complex than people had thought. And was this something the German army was very good at, learning? Your book mentions it quite a few times, lessons learned going back to OHL, the German high command, and then out again. The two armies had very different ways of going about it. The Germans were much more programmatic and centralized in the way that they tried to do it. Their self-image was that they were very good at learning. I think they were too programmatic. They were very good at uniformity and systemization, but that made them a bit predictable, which can be a problem. The British were a lot more ad hoc. Sometimes that can be a bad thing. But the real point—and the same is true for any organisation—is that change is easier to effect if you go with the cultural grain of the organisation rather than cutting across it. The British Army with all this ad hocery looks terribly haphazard, but actually it suits the way the British Army works. Another thing that came up a few times in your book was the implication that Rupprecht was more worried about the French than the British. Why were you making that point? Were you arguing against the view that the British represented more of a threat? A bit. It comes back to the point I was making earlier about people thinking about it as a British experience. Even on the Western Front, a lot of the time it was about the French—never mind all the other fronts. Britain is the junior partner, militarily. This is a really interesting book. He sees the war as being important and interesting primarily because it heralds or helps to bring in modernism. In his view, the First World War plays a major part in changing the mindset of artists, enabling the Virginia Woolfs and T. Eliots to flourish. The anomie and uncertainty and apparent irrationality of events all feed into surrealism. Essentially, he says the world changes—or begins to change—with the performance of The Rite of Spring by Stravinsky in Paris in People like Debussy and Baudelaire and Oscar Wilde are often seen as modernists in some sense. He also conflates modernism and modernity in a way that is not terribly helpful. I only dipped into a few chapters, one was about the atmosphere in Berlin on the eve of the war. It was very evocative. Five Books aims to keep its book recommendations and interviews up to date.

Moving north, Allied forces captured Sicily in August , leading to the fall of Mussolini's regime. The next month, the Allies landed in Italy and began pushing up the peninsula. Battling through numerous defensive lines, they succeeded in conquering much of the country by the war's end. After consolidating the beachhead, the Allies broke out, routing the German defenders and sweeping across France. In an attempt to end the war before Christmas, Allied leaders launched Operation Market-Garden , an ambitious plan designed to capture bridges in Holland. While some success was achieved, the plan ultimately failed. In a final attempt to stop the Allied advance, the Germans launched a massive offensive in December , beginning the Battle of the Bulge. After defeating the German thrust, the Allies pressed into Germany forcing its surrender on May 7, As the military exerted ever control over the government, Japan began a program of expansionism, first occupying Manchuria , and then invading China Japan prosecuted a brutal war against the Chinese, earning condemnation from the United States and the European powers. In an effort to stop the fighting, the US and Britain imposed iron and oil embargoes against Japan. Needing these materials to continue the war, Japan sought to acquire them through conquest. To eliminate the threat posed by the United States, Japan launched a surprise attack against US fleet at Pearl Harbor on December 7, , as well as against British colonies in the region. Only in the Philippines did Allied forces hold out, stubbornly defending Bataan and Corregidor for months buying time for their comrades to regroup. A month later, US forces won a stunning victory at Midway , sinking four Japanese carriers. The victory stopped Japanese expansion and allowed the Allies to go on the offensive. Landing at Guadalcanal on August 7, , Allied forces fought a brutal six-month battle to secure the island. Following the Allied victory at Coral Sea, Gen. To the west, the British were driven out of Burma and back to the Indian frontier. Over the next three years, they fought a brutal battle to retake the Southeast Asian nation.

Bestselling authors and professors from The University of British Columbia's renowned MFA program will guide you through a rigorous self-editing and revision process, a stage of manuscript development all successful writers undertake. The trend in global publishing is toward outsourcing the editorial process. More and more, publishers are looking for that elusive "finished" draft, placing the burden on writers to take their work to that next level. Learn the necessary skills to polish your novel and better position you in today's highly competitive and fast-moving publishing marketplace. In this course we'll explore the editorial process from macro to micro. From a far-reaching analysis of the three journeys every novel must take internal, external, aesthetic to a tight focus on the rigorous choices associated with prose style, learners will hone critical skills and develop a rewriting plan tailored to the needs of their individual projects.

  • Planting Parliaments in Eurasia, 1850–1950
    Planting Parliaments in Eurasia, 1850–1950 Parliaments are often seen as Western European and North American institutions and their establishment in other parts of the world as a derivative and mostly defec- tive process. This book challenges such Eurocentric visions by retracing the evo- lution of modern institutions of collective decision-making in Eurasia. Breaching the divide between different area studies, the book provides nine case studies cov- ering the area between the eastern edge of Asia and Eastern Europe, including the former Russian, Ottoman, Qing, and Japanese Empires as well as their succes- sor states. In particular, it explores the appeals to concepts of parliamentarism, deliberative decision-making, and constitutionalism; historical practices related to parliamentarism; and political mythologies across Eurasia. It focuses on the historical and “reestablished” institutions of decision-making, which consciously hark back to indigenous traditions and adapt them to the changing circumstances in imperial and postimperial contexts. Thereby, the book explains how represent- ative institutions were needed for the establishment of modernized empires or postimperial states but at the same time offered a connection to the past.

  • The Struggle for Independence
    9 · The Struggle for Independence The armistice of Moudros The armistice concluded on 31 October 1918 at Moudros between Admiral Calthorpe, commander of the British Black Sea squadron, and an Ottoman delegation under Hüseyin Rauf Bey, the Navy Minister, really amounted to an Ottoman capitulation. The 25 articles contained provisions such as the military occupation of the Straits, control by the Entente of all railway and telegraph lines, demobilization and disarma- ment of the Ottoman troops, except for small contingents needed to keep law and order, surrender by all Ottoman troops in the Arab provinces and the freeing of all Entente prisoners of war in Ottoman hands (but not the other way round). All German and Austrian military personnel had to leave the country within two months. The most dangerous clause from the Ottoman point of view was article seven, which stipulated that the Entente had the right to occupy any place in the Ottoman Empire itself if it considered its security to be under threat. Article 24 gave the Entente the right to intervene militarily in the ‘Armenian’ provinces if law and order should break down there. These articles could (and did) allow the Entente to use force more or less as it pleased. Harsh though they were, the conditions were accepted – some- times even greeted with relief – by the Ottomans. When a resistance movement developed in the years after the war, its leaders did not protest against the armistice agreement as such, but against the way the Entente abused its conditions.1 The armistice went into effect the next day and on the whole was effective.

Thewalt@chemie. uni-ulm. de Abstract The present study describes the geology and mineralogy of the main petrified wood occurrences in Evros-Rhodopi and Limnos and integrates them in a volcanic- hydro thermal framework taking into consideration the nature of hydrothermal solu­ tions during the silicification process. In the Lykofi-Fylakto-Lefkymi area, quartz and opal-CT are the main silica polymorph within the wood. The hostrocL· exhibit a zeolitic alteration suggesting reduced and slightly alkaline fluids for the silicifica­ tion of wood. At Kassiteres/Sappes area the presence ofsilicified wood within kao- linite±alunite altered tuffbreccias indicates that slight acidic fluids were involved in the silicification processes. In Limnos Island the fossiliferous Portianou, Varos- Roussopouli and Moudros-Roussopouli areas occur in the periphery of an eroded volcanic edifice exposed at Fakos peninsula. The silicified wood occurs: (a) within weakly altered pyroclastics and (b) associated to several horizons of sinters inter- bedded within the pyroclastics.
