Siegel Setting the Stage: The Global Impact of the 1919 Paris Peace Conference by Linda Black Editor’s Note Greetings from the Secretariat of the Southeast World History Association (SEWHA). As most of the readers of the World History Bulletin are aware, SEWHA members have served as editors of the Bulletin since the Fall of 2001, when I took over the helm from Chip Desnoyers and Ross Doughty. In the interim eighteen years, the Bulletin has had four SEWHA-affiliated editors: myself, Jared Poley, Denis Gainty, and Ian Christopher Fletcher. During the ensuing years, the Bulletin editors have attempted to make each issue better than the previous one, and I hope to continue that objective. I must first offer congratulations and thanks to Ian for his herculean efforts in producing the special issue on The Long Global Sixties. Although the original intent was to have the topic spread out over two 2018 issues, I am confident most readers will agree with me that the single issue approach worked extremely well. This issue, the first of Volume XXXV, focuses on the 1919 Paris Peace Conference. Although the last veteran of World War I — Florence Green — died in February 2012 at the age of 110, the War and its aftermath remain in the public consciousness, if for no other reason, because of the new national boundaries that were created in Paris in 1919-1920. Even today, those boundaries have scars. My colleague Ellen “Jan” Jenkins has put together an excellent group of essays and classroom activities concerning the Paris Peace Conference. The multinational group of contributors to this issue of the Bulletin illustrates the editorial efforts to broaden our appeal to international members of the World History Association (WHA), and we hope to continue to recruit quality essays from abroad. Yi Guolin, our new Book Review Editor, is in need of members who are willing to review works for future issues. If you are interested, please send me an email [[email protected]] with your address and fields of interest. As you read this issue of the Bulletin, please send me feedback as to how the new editorial team can make the publication more valuable to the WHA membership. H.

From last year’s 1968 vision from Guest Editor Ian Fletcher to the incredible line up for the next three issues, beginning with this one. The themes for the next two issues are as follow: Transglobal Voyages: Five Centuries since the Epic Voyage of Fernão de Magalhães and Juan Sebastián Elcano and The Ottoman Empire: Five Centuries since the Accession of Kanunî Sultan Süleyman. We welcome back Editor-in- Chief Micheal Tarver whose expertise and creativity will benefit the readers. Flipping through this latest issue, it becomes obvious that peace 100 years ago was at worst still tumultuous and at best quite uncertain. Race riots broke out in numerous U.S. cities, including Washington D.C. The 18th Amendment in the U.S. was ratified, prohibiting the sale of alcohol, which would have unexpected repercussions in the following decade and beyond. In Asia, Gandhi initiated nonviolent resistance campaigns against British rule. And for his insight, Woodrow Wilson was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. Our office is focusing on our 28th Annual WHA Conference taking place June 27 – 29, 2019 in Puerto Rico. The two conference themes in Puerto Rico will be “Cities in Global Contexts” and “The Caribbean as Crossroads.” All conference sessions will convene under one roof, that of our host hotel, the Caribe Hilton Hotel in San Juan. Partnering with the Global Urban History Project (GUHP) for a joint conference ensures the interdisciplinary nature of our conference will thrive. Through the expertise of our local tour guide, the WHA Registration desk will be collecting items for residents of Puerto Rico still suffering the aftermath of Hurricane Maria. Those items most needed and that travel well include solar based items for phone chargers; solar based flashlights; solar based “camping” stoves; portable water filters; gift cards for necessities and building materials: Walmart, Kmart, Walgreens, CVS, Home Depot and Sears and over the counter medications. For members planning ahead, the 29th Annual WHA Conference will be held from June 25 – 27, 2020 in Salt Lake City. Nestled in the mountains, we will be located in the Foothills District of the city (www.foothillcd.com). Our conference sessions will be held at the University of Utah, where we are being cosponsored by the Department of History. The conference will kick off at the Marriott University Park, where all opening events commence on June 25. More soon on the WHA website about conference themes and additional specific details. As we plan for 2021 and beyond, should your university be interested in co-sponsoring the WHA annual conference, contact our office.

I am looking forward to seeing many of you in warm and sunny San Juan in June, a joint meeting with the Global Urban History Project (GUHP), a new network of scholars interested in exploring the connections between global history and urban history. The conference program and events look fabulous. My special thanks in advance to Kerry Vieira, Maryanne Rhett, Candice Goucher, and Carl Nightingale for making the conference all that it is. And my great thanks to H. Micheal Tarver, who will resume his position as editor-in-chief of the World History Bulletin with this issue.

  • Academy of Romanian Scientists Series on History and Archaeology ISSN 2067-5682 Volume 10, Number 1/2018 17
    Annals of the Academy of Romanian Scientists Series on History and Archaeology ISSN 2067-5682 Volume 10, Number 1/2018 17 MARCH 27, 1918, THE UNION OF BESSARABIA WITH ROMANIA, THE FIRST LINK IN THE MAKING OF THE GREATER ROMANIA Jipa ROTARU Abstract. There are, in the history of peoples, events of great significance and national value. Such an event was on March 27, 1918, when under extreme conditions, under foreign occupation, the Country Council (the legislative body of Bessarabia elected by the people) decided to unite the Romanian province between the Pruth and Dniester with the mother country, Romania. The act of the union of Bessarabia with the country was reckoned by the great historian Gheorghe Buzatu, one of the astral moments of Romanian becoming, along with January 24, 1859, May 9, 1877 and December 1, 1918. The special significance of this event consisted in the fact that, the Union of the Bessarabian people, freely expressed in March 1918, opened the series of three fundamental moments, the plebiscite assemblies in Chişinău, Cernăuţi and Alba Iulia, through which the Romanian people made their full national unity. The Revolutionary-National Movement in Bessarabia in the years 1917-1918, which culminated in the return of the Romanian land between the Pruth and Dniester, self-embedded in the Tsarist Empire more than 100 years ago, during the First World War, in close connection with the Russian revolution that broke out in the spring of 1917, but also with the extensive upheavals in the struggle for self- determination of the oppressed peoples of the three empires: Tsarist, Austro- Hungarian and Ottoman.

  • SAMUEL HILL: His Life, His Friends, and His Accomplishments
    SAMUEL HILL: His life, his friends, and his accomplishments “We have found the Garden of Eden. It is the garden spot of the world — the most beautiful country I have ever seen. I took Mary up on top of the mountain and showed her the kingdom of the earth. Just think of a place where you can raise apples, peaches, quinces, corn, potatoes, watermelons, nineteen varieties of grapes, plums, apricots, strawberries, walnuts, almonds and everything except oranges . I am going to incorporate a company called ‘The Promised Land Company’.” (October 18, 1907, from a letter sent by Samuel Hill to his brother, Dr. Richard Junius Hill.) The Promised Land Company, later known as Maryhill, Washington, eventually failed due to irrigation difficulties and a world war. Left in this wake was a huge Grecian-doric castle museum, dedicated to international art; a replica of England’s Stonehenge, dedicated to peace; and a colorful history of our people: a queen, a Folies Bergere denseuse, a sugar heiress, and an empire builder. The story of the castle begins in 1913 and continues today. Samuel Hill executed plans for the building of a castle on a rocky promontory high above the second largest river in the United States. Mr. Hill, a strange mixture of cosmopolite and farmer, intended to use his castle as a residence for entertaining illustrious friends and royalty. He was anxious to show them the beauties of the West and to return, in a good manner, the hospitality that had been extended to him. For his good friend, King Albert, Samuel had the Belgian crest engraved above the doors.

  • Continuities and Changes of Europe in Romanian National Discourse
    Lund UniversityLund University STMV 23, 2017 PoliticalPolitical Science Science Department Department Superviser: Magnus Jerneck MasterMaster of European Of European Affairs Affairs Superviser: STVM 23, Magnus 2017 Jerneck Continuities and Changes of Europe in Romanian National Discourse A thematic analysis of Romania`s chiefs of state speeches, between 1931 and 2016 Mihail Nejneru Lund University Political Science Department Superviser: Magnus Jerneck Master of European Affairs STVM 23, 2017 Abstract There are several problems when studying, as this thesis, the interplay between the concepts of Europe and of nation, in an official discourse of a state. One is that these concepts are largely seen as being in a dichotomous position. This research argues about the importance of changing the perception about the various way the concepts can relate to each other. The study considers the representations of the nation and of Europe as correlated. Consequently, the idea of Europe is modified over time according to the political culture type. The peculiarities of the case selection: Romania, as two violent regime changes, amplifies the effects of this multi faced process of conferring meanings to Europe. First, the communist regime crafted its own national narrative by mixing soviet supranational elements with a strong nationalistic rhetoric. This was done also with the use of Protochronism, a Romanian term, describing the process to ascribe, with the use of questionable data and by questionable interpretations, an idealised past to the country. Second, the post-communist elites could not decide what stance should be adopted towards pre-communist and communist regimes. The implications for the concept of Europe were discovered using a thematic analysis on 25 New Year’s Eve messages of Romanians chiefs of the state, transmitted from 1931 to 2016.

  • Coming to Terms with the Communist Past in Romania: an Analysis of the Political and Media Discourse Concerning the Tismăneanu Report Alina Hogea*
    S TSS Vol 2 / Issue 2 16 Studies of Transition States and Societies Coming to Terms with the Communist Past in Romania: An Analysis of the Political and Media Discourse Concerning the Tismăneanu Report Alina Hogea* Abstract This paper looks at the public debates about the communist past, as triggered by the final report on the communist dictatorship in Romania (the Tismăneanu report) and its presidential endorsement in December 2006. The paper employs narrative and discourse analysis to examine the political reactions to the official condemnation of communism, as well as its reflection in several Romanian newspapers. The Tismăneanu report was meant to be a ‘redressive ritual’ that would provide closure to a traumatic past by retrospectively denouncing the meaning of communism, but instead it generated more public debates and political turmoil. This indicates that the contorted path taken by Romania to confront its communist past is not a finished process yet, but rather represents a dynamic field in which social ac- tors are fighting over which events and actors in the past should be collectively remembered, and espe- cially how they have to be represented in the collective memory of post-communist Romania.1 Keywords: collective memory, communism, Romania, politics, media discourse Introduction More than twenty years after the fall of communism in Eastern Europe, Romania is still struggling with its communist past. The Romanian ‘revolution’ remains a debated topic as there is no consensus among scholars, politicians, journalists, and lay people on what exactly happened in December 1989 (revolution or coup d’état) and on the name this political event should take (see more on this topic in Tileagă, 2008 and Văcărescu, 2004).

  • Villa Falkenhorst
    VILLA FALKENHORST GESCHICHTE DER VILLA FALKENHORST Der Bau der Villa Falkenhorst ist eng mit der Industrie-geschichte des Walgaus verknüpft. Am 1. Jänner 1837 bildeten der Schotte John Douglass, der Engländer Peter Kennedy und der Schweizer Albert Escher eine Kommanditgesellschaft zum Bau der KK privilegierten mechanischen Baumwollspinnerei und Weberei E.K. Douglass in Thüringen. Ende 1836 hatte Peter Kennedy als Bevollmächtigter von John Douglass Grundstücke nordwestlich über dem Dorf für den Bau der Villa gekauft. Mit dem Bau wurde im Frühjahr 1837 begonnen. Im Jahre 1838 bezeichnete Kreishauptmann Ebner, dass die Villa Falkenhorst als "sehens- und bemerkenswert sei und in vielerlei Hinsicht als Muster für neue Wohnhäuser dienen könnte". Aus diesem Grund besichtigten am 29.7.1839 Erzherzog Johann und eineinhalb Monate später sein Bruder Erzherzog Reiner (Vizekönig von Mailand und Onkel des regierenden Kaisers Ferdinand I) die Villa Falkenhorst. Die Villa Falkenhorst wurde im Jahre 1838 von Jane Margret Douglass gekauft, welche dieselbe im Jahr 1891 an ihren Enkel John William veräßerte. Ein späterer Eigentümerwechsel erfolgte 1909, als Ing. Rudolf Kastner Fabrik und Villa erwarb. Bis zum Ankauf durch die Gemeinde Thüringen 1997 befand sich die Villa im Besitz von Gladys Dittrich geb. Kastner. ARCHITEKTUR DER VILLA FALKENHORST Die Villa Falkenhorst orientiert sich nicht an der traditionellen Hauslandschaft Vorarlbergs, sondern an der Form des einfachen englischen Landhauses, wie es seit dem 18. Jahrhundert bekannt war. Es handelt sich um einen symmetrisch schlichten Baukörper in Anlehnung an Villenbauten der italienischen Renaissance, während der zeitgenössischen, englischen Villa in diesen Jahren bereits die gotische Architektur als Vorbild diente. Mehr als ein Jahrhundert diente Falkenhorst, in dieser Form als Wohnhaus.
