The London School of Economics and Political Science the New
The London School of Economics and Political Science The New Industrial Order: Vichy, Steel, and the Origins of the Monnet Plan, 1940-1946 Luc-André Brunet A thesis submitted to the Department of International History of the London School of Economics for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy, London, July 2014 1 Declaration I certify that the thesis I have presented for examination for the MPhil/PhD degree of the London School of Economics and Political Science is solely my own work other than where I have clearly indicated that it is the work of others (in which case the extent of any work carried out jointly by me and any other person is clearly identified in it).

I declare that my thesis consists of 87,402 words. 2 Abstract Following the Fall of France in 1940, the nation’s industry was fundamentally reorganised under the Vichy regime. This thesis traces the history of the keystones of this New Industrial Order, the Organisation Committees, by focusing on the organisation of the French steel industry between the end of the Third Republic in 1940 and the establishment of the Fourth Republic in 1946. It challenges traditional views by showing that the Committees were created largely to facilitate economic collaboration with Nazi Germany. -

Less than two years later that career was over, effectively destroyed by his behaviour over the nationalisation of the Suez Canal Company by the Egyptian President, Gamal Nasser. -

The Challenge of Guinean Independence, 1958-1971
THE CHALLENGE OF GUINEAN INDEPENDENCE, 1958-1971 by Mairi Stewart MacDonald A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Department of History University of Toronto © Copyright by Mairi Stewart MacDonald, 2009 THE CHALLENGE OF GUINEAN INDEPENDENCE, 1958-1971 Doctor of Philosophy, 2009 Mairi Stewart MacDonald Graduate Department of History, University of Toronto Abstract Since the end of French colonial rule in Guinea, “independence” has held a central place in its political culture. Implying both dignity and self-determination for the sovereign people which possesses it, independence is a concept that has meaning only in relation to other nation-states and cultures. Yet the political elite that dominated Guinea’s First Republic constructed a new national culture around this concept. The Challenge of Guinean Independence, 1958-1971 examines Guinea’s assertion of its right to independence and the response of powerful Western players, especially the United States and France, as Guinea challenged their assumptions about the nature of African sovereignty. Considering the history of the international relations of a single African state that enjoyed limited international power and prestige challenges conventions in the historiography of both Africa and international relations. It illuminates and contextualizes expectations concerning the meaning of modernity, African sovereignty as a matter of international law, and the end of formal colonial rule coinciding with the tensions and competitions of the Cold War. The study demonstrates that the international context played a crucial role, both in conditioning the timing and form of decolonization and in shaping the international community’s adaptation of colonial patterns of economic and political interaction to the new reality of African nation-states. -

Firstly, using recently-released American, British, and Israeli documents, private papers, and oral evidence in addition to published work, it re-evaluates the causes and development of the Suez Crisis of 1956. Secondly, it examines the operation of the Anglo-American 'alliance' in the Middle East, if one existed, in the 1950s by considering not only the policymaking structures and personalities involved in 'alliance' but also external factors, notably the actions of other countries, affecting relations between the American and British Governments.

LES PARLEMENTAIRES SFIO FACE À LA CRISE DE MAI 1958 Noëlline
- 955 - LES PARLEMENTAIRES SFIO FACE À LA CRISE DE MAI 1958 Noëlline Castagnez (Université d’Orléans et CHPP) En mai 1958, l’appel au général De Gaulle s’inscrivait dans une tradition bien française qui, de Thiers en 1871 à Pétain en 1940, avait eu pour but de sauver la France du désastre. Mais ce recours à De Gaulle au nom de la défense républicaine fit l’objet de deux interprétations, radicalement inverses, par la classe politique et l’opinion publique. Pour les uns, tels Pierre Mendès France ou François Mitterrand, De Gaulle se faisait le complice d’un coup d’État ; pour les autres, tel le président René Coty, il était l’ultime rempart de la République contre les factieux1. Il n’était pas certain que les socialistes, si sévères à l’égard de la délégation des pleins pouvoirs à un militaire le 10 juillet 1940 et très anti-gaullistes depuis 1947, pourraient s’accorder sur le sens à donner au retour du Général2. Mais les observateurs s’accordaient à penser que la SFIO avait un rôle décisif à jouer. Quelques jours avant la crise, Maurice Duverger n’écrivait-il pas : « Le parti socialiste est l’arbitre de la législature. Rien ne peut être fait sans lui, rien ne peut être fait contre lui3 ? » Dans un premier temps, les parlementaires privilégièrent le soutien au gouvernement de Pierre Pflimlin face aux factieux d’Alger, mais à partir du 24 mai, ils se divisèrent sur la stratégie à adopter, fracturant par là-même irrémédiablement la SFIO. Il conviendra donc 1 Voir les témoignages de Francis de Baëcque et Michel Poniatowski, dans Fondation Charles De Gaulle, L’Avènement de la Cinquième République, « Débats », Paris, A. -

Dwight D. Eisenhower and the Suez Crisis of 1956 Michael Olson
______________________________________________________________________________ Dwight D. Eisenhower and the Suez Crisis of 1956 Michael Olson Michael Olson, from Rockford, Illinois, earned his BA in history in spring 2016. In fall 2016, he will begin work on an MA in history at the University of Missouri. ______________________________________________________________________________ INTRODUCTION The Suez Crisis of 1956 was a confrontation between Britain, France, and Israel on one side and Egypt on the other, during the height of the Cold War. The crisis resulted from the nationalization of the Suez Canal by Egyptian president Gamal Abdel Nasser in July of that year, continuing through the fall and culminating in a joint Anglo-French-Israeli invasion of the Sinai Peninsula in October, and the forced withdrawal of coalition forces by the end of the year. The invading nations endured tremendous pressure to withdraw from both sides of the Cold War divide. Particularly, economic pressure from the United States and President Dwight D. Eisenhower convinced Britain to lead a withdrawal from the Sinai Peninsula after initial victories. Eisenhower's intervention on the side of Egypt, against America's traditional allies, particularly Britain and France, stemmed from a deep personal dislike of and discomfort with colonial imperialism, and frustration that his European allies had seemingly returned to their old colonial ways. Domestic political concerns also influenced Eisenhower's decision-making process; in an election year, and with Democratic opponent Adlai Stevenson bidding for favor with a staunchly peace-oriented campaign, Eisenhower felt that American intervention would position the United States as an honest broker determined to achieve and maintain a peace of strength.
