Near the end of World War II, after Great Britain had fought its adversaries veritably alone in 1940 and was then a partner in a massive coalition, exclaimed that, “There is at least one thing worse than fighting with allies, and that is to fight without them.”1 The papers in this anthology, all presented at the 18th annual conference of the Partnership for Peace Consortium Euro-Atlantic Conflict Studies Working Group, held 16-20 April 2018 in Belgrade, Serbia, highlight national and international challenges and concerns in building and operating with allies in a coalition environment. They were written in response to the conference theme, “Alliance Planning and Coalition Warfare: Historical and Contemporary Approaches.” The first essay, “Challenges in Coalition Warfare: The Case of the Netherlands,” was written by Dr. Jan Hoffenaar, the Head of the Research Division at the Netherlands Institute of Military History, The Hague, and Professor of Military History at Utrecht University. In this essay, the author distinguishes historical “alliances according to the level of agreement among the alliance members and the degree of distribution of capabilities within the alliance,” and provides a diagram illustrating these relationships. He then analyzes the Netherlands’ historical experience with coalitions, suggesting that more recently, 1 Winston Churchill, The Irrepressible Churchill: Stories, Sayings and Impressions of Sir Winston Churchill (London: Robson Books, 1987), n.p. 7 these alliances have been more in the nature of “capability-aggregating” alliances. Indeed, the Netherlands continues to be “highly dependent on the explicit and implicit support of allies for its defense and existence as an independent state.” Dr. Daniela Siscanu of Romania has contributed the interesting essay “Romania and the Entente: The Uncertainties of an Alliance,” to this collection of scholarly papers. She examines Romania’s partici- pation in World War I, attributing the country’s motivation to accom- plishing the historical goal of national reunification. In doing so, she further analyzes why Romania joined the Entente and addresses the challenging negotiation process between Bucharest and the Entente powers, focusing on Romania’s efforts to manage complicated diplo- matic arrangements, to find ways of compensating for its weakness, and to fulfill its own national goals. An additional factor was Romania’s need to counterbalance Russia’s ambitions in Southeast Europe and force Russia to respect the Alliance’s commitments towards Romania. “Ultimately,” the author concludes, “Bucharest’s decision to fight along- side the Entente Allies resulted in the achievement of its national unity in 1918.” The Baltic states of Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania gained their independence from Russia after World War I. The specter of Russian domination lingered, as the Russian Revolution and the subsequent Bolshevist assumption of power had thrown the nation into chaos and civil war between Red and White Russian forces. German troops occupied a significant portion of the Baltics at the end of the war, but with their withdrawal, a power vacuum followed. The victorious Allies wanted to contain the spread of Bolshevism by filling the power void, and a proposal to have an allied Scandinavian military force occupy the region arose. This paper, written by Dr. Mikkel Kikkerbaek of Denmark, examines the various plans, mainly advocated by the British, to deploy a 8 volunteer Scandinavian military force in the Baltic states in 1919. Numerous disagreements ensured, particularly over force funding, with the result that the “Scandinavian effort in the Baltic States was subsequently small and fragmented.” The Åland Islands, located between Sweden and Finland, dominate the Baltic Sea and control entry into the northern port of the Baltic, the Bottenhavet. Dr. Fredrik Eriksson, Department of Military Studies, Swedish Defence University, discusses in his paper “Defending the Åland Islands: Swedish-Finnish Joint Operational Planning in the Late 1930s,” the defense of Åland from a historical perspective, focusing on the joint operational planning prior to the outbreak of World War II. He also examines the defense plans, highlighting anticipated operational problems and strategic/ operational limitations of the plan. The plans of the 1930s should be seen in the light not only of rearmament, but also as part of the general revision of the defense plans in Sweden and Finland leading up to Second World War. Hungarian Maj. Dr. Viktor Andahazi Szeghy identifies examples of the supply problems that the Royal Hungarian Army, as a subordinate military ally, faced during the 1941 Eastern Campaign in his study “Logistical Problems of Joint Operations from the Point of View of An Ally, in Historical Perspectives: Eastern Front, 1941.” The Axis powers on the Eastern Front were Croatia, Hungary, Italy, Romania, and Slovakia, all fighting

    THE EDGE OF EUROPE: HERITAGE, LANDSCAPE AND CONFLICT ARCHAEOLOGY by ROXANA-TALIDA ROMAN A thesis submitted to the University of Birmingham for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Department of Classics, Ancient History and Archaeology School of History and Cultures College of Arts and Law University of Birmingham May 2019 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties.

ABSTRACT The research presented in this thesis addresses the significance of Romanian WWI sites as places of remembrance and heritage, by exploring the case of Maramureș against the standards of national and international heritage standards. The work provided the first ever survey of WWI sites on the Eastern Front, showing that the Prislop Pass conflictual landscape holds undeniable national and international heritage value both in terms of physical preservation and in terms of mapping on the memorial-historical record. The war sites demonstrate heritage and remembrance value by meeting heritage criteria on account of their preservation state, rarity, authenticity, research potential, the embedded war knowledge and their historical-memorial functions. The results of the research established that the war sites not only satisfy heritage legal requirements at various scales but are also endangered.

Our nation has never been more divided, more war- stricken, more fearful of the future. Yet, the promise and the greatness of Russia remains undaunted. The Russian Provisional Government can and will overcome these challenges and lead our Motherland into the dawn of a new day. Out of character. To introduce myself, I’m a fourth-year Economics and History double major, currently writing a BA thesis on World War II rationing in the United States. I compete on UChicago’s travel team and I additionally am a CD for our college conference. Besides that, I am the VP of the Delta Kappa Epsilon fraternity, previously a member of an all-men a cappella group and a proud procrastinator. This letter, for example, is about a month late. We decided to run this committee for a multitude of reasons, but I personally think that Russian in 1917 represents such a critical point in history. In an unlikely way, the most autocratic regime on Earth became replaced with a socialist state. The story of this dramatic shift in government and ideology represents, to me, one of the most interesting parts of history: that sometimes facts can be stranger than fiction.

  • Kiev 1941: Hitler's Battle for Supremacy in the East
    Kiev 1941 In just four weeks in the summer of 1941 the German Wehrmacht wrought unprecedented destruction on four Soviet armies, conquering central Ukraine and killing or capturing three-quarters of a million men. This was the battle of Kiev – one of the largest and most decisive battles of World War II and, for Hitler and Stalin, a battle of crucial importance. For the first time, David Stahel charts the battle’s dramatic course and after- math, uncovering the irreplaceable losses suffered by Germany’s ‘panzer groups’ despite their battlefield gains, and the implications of these losses for the German war effort. He illuminates the inner workings of the German army as well as the experiences of ordinary soldiers, showing that with the Russian winter looming and Soviet resistance still unbroken, victory came at huge cost and confirmed the turning point in Germany’s war in the east. David Stahel is an independent researcher based in Berlin. His previous publications include Operation Barbarossa and Germany’s Defeat in the East (Cambridge, 2009).

Its contribution to the historiography of the period stems from the fact that it constitutes the first academic study of the third largest resistance organisation in Greece, the 5/42 regiment of evzones. The study of this national resistance organisation can thus extend our knowledge of the Greek resistance effort, the political relations between the main resistance groups, the conditions that led to the civil war and the domestic relevance of British policies.

  • Strategic Surprise from the Bike Trail the Republic of Korea and the Bicycle
    COMMENTARY Strategic Surprise from the Bike Trail The Republic of Korea and the Bicycle MAJ RACHAEL NUSSBAUM, USAF Strategic surprise is often a goal of nation-states that are considering engaging in an internationally unpopular course of action. A good strategic surprise, if capitalized upon, can change the course of history. Consider Russia’s “little green men”—by inserting troops without insignia and denying all responsibility for the operation, Russia surprised Ukraine and seized the Crimean region. The world had no response to Russia’s thinly deniable act, and as a result, the region has been plunged into an ongoing crisis, to Russia’s benefit. Nation-states that are not con- sidering initiating unpopular acts but are in areas of the world that have unsettled situations, such as territory claimed by many nations or armed cold conflict, may create plans and develop options that can cause strategic surprise. Such nations, rather than initiating a crisis, may prepare plans and options in hopes that diplo- macy or time will resolve problems or improve their situation. South Korea is a nation in such an area of the world. While the United States, South Korea’s most significant ally, often depends on strategic advantage based on technical innova- tion, such as stealth or precision weapons, as shown by Russia’s employment of little green men, strategic surprise does not require advanced technology. South Korea is building a low-tech system around bicycling that sets the stage for effec- tive strategic surprise in case of a North Korean incursion. Japan used a concept based around bicycling to execute a low-tech strategic surprise early in World War II, while simultaneously attempting a rapid knockout punch at Pearl Harbor with what was then modern tech.

The structure of the human brain defines the limits of what can be a grammatical or a lexical rule of a language. But how a specific language emerges and changes within the biologically given boundaries is a sociohistorical process, and it should be understood and explained as such. The link between history on one hand and the grammar or the lexicon of a language on the other is the use of the language in spoken and written communication, the pro- duction of texts. Through texts history is influenced by language: the language available makes it easier to say some things than others. Through texts the rules of a language are influenced by history: the verbal interaction between people confirms or challenges the linguistic rules in force. This article is about the latter kind of influence or determination. The way we talk is only partly dependent upon current conventions: superordinate maxims of communication makes it possible, practical or necessary to deviate from the norms. What we say - or write - is therefore full of ellipses, expansions (metaphors, expanded meanings of words), borrowings and even errors etc. Some of these deviations or expansions are taken over by other language users and conventionalized as parts of the common system of grammatical and lexical rules. A couple of quite general motive forces lie behind the conventionalization of individual communicative solutions, e.g.

Militärhistorikern, fil dr Arne Stade kommenterar Carl X Gustaf som brevskrivare och framlägger ett antal brev från denne till drott­ ning Hedvig Eleonora. Då konungens brev är synnerligen svåra att läsa, har det ansetts vara motiverat att publicera dessa tolkningar. I en posthum uppsats av kommendör Magnus Hammar diskuteras brittisk maritim strategi under de senaste hundra åren. Kapten Arvid Cronenberg tar sedan upp frågan om förhållandet mellan lantmannapartiet och föreningen Värnpliktens Vänner under försvarsdebatterna i mitten av 1870-talet. Forskningschefen, fil dr Thede Palm publicerar några anteck­ ningar om borggårdskrisen 1914 av general Jochum Akerman, ned­ skrivna i anslutning till publiceringen av professor Axel Brusewitz bok "Kungamakt, herremakt, folkmakt" (Sthlm 1951).
