Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106-1346 7 k - b l + - ABSTRACT, Slessor, Douglas, Spaight etal justified the Munich Agreement as providing a 'breathing space' to accelerate British rearmament. Whilst Chamberlain realised Britain's military weakness, feared a German 'knock-out blow', and underestimated the Czech Army^ His prime motive was to prevent, not postpone, a war which he abhorred. Nevertheless he realised the need to accelerate defensive measures such as fighter aircraft, anti-aircraft guns and civil defence. A n x ie tie s th a t Germany would invade Holland, s e iz in g strategic airfields and the Channel Parts, over ruled the policy of 'limited Liability'. French pressure, and Lord Halifax's support enabled Hore-Belisha to raise equipment for an enlarged field force. Chamberlain opposed conscription for fear of alienating the trade unions; whilst he believed a Ministry of Supply would lose industrialists' co-operation with rearmament and undermine economic recovery.

National Policies to Promote Cycling -:HSTCSC=VWXWZ[: (75 2004 10 1 P) ISBN 92-821-2325-1 2004 FOREWORD Cycling is increasingly recognised as a clean, sustainable mode of transport and an essential part of an inter-modal plan for sustainable urban travel. While regional and local authorities bear the primary responsibility for detailed planning and implementation of cycling policies, national-level commitment is important in setting the right legal, regulatory and financial framework so that successful implementation of cycling initiatives can take place. The study provides an overview of policies at the national level for promoting cycling.

  • In 1798, Napoleon Entered the Land. the War with Napoleon and Subsequent Misadministration by Egyptian and Ottoman Rulers, Reduced the Population of Palestine
    In 1798, Napoleon entered the land. The war with Napoleon and subsequent misadministration by Egyptian and Ottoman rulers, reduced the population of Palestine. Arabs and Jews fled to safer and more prosperous lands. Revolts by Palestinian Arabs against Egyptian and Ottoman rule at this time may have helped to catalyze Palestinian national feeling. Subsequent reorganization and opening of the Turkish Empire to foreigners restored some order. They also allowed the beginnings of Jewish settlement under various Zionist and proto-Zionist movements. Both Arab and Jewish population increased. By 1880, about 24,000 Jews were living in Palestine, out of a population of about 400,000. At about that time, the Ottoman government imposed severe restrictions on Jewish immigration and land purchase, and also began actively soliciting inviting Muslims from other parts of the Ottoman empire to settle in Palestine, including Circassians and Bosnians. The restrictions were evaded in various ways by Jews seeking to colonize Palestine, chiefly by bribery. The Rise of Zionism - Jews had never stopped coming to "the Holy land" or Palestine in small numbers throughout the exile. Palestine also remained the center of Jewish worship and a part of Jewish culture. However, the Jewish connection with the land was mostly abstract and connected with dreams of messianic redemption. In the nineteenth century new social currents animated Jewish life. The emancipation of European Jews, signaled by the French revolution, brought Jews out of the Ghetto and into the modern world, exposing them to modern ideas. The liberal concepts introduced by emancipation and modern nationalist ideas were blended with traditional Jewish ideas about Israel and Zion.

  • The Royal Navy's Strategy Discourse up to the Great War – in Outline
    Michael H. Clemmesen Version of 3.8.13 The Royal Navy's strategy discourse up to the Great War – in outline Map from a Swedish winter 1912-1913 General Staff study marked with potential British or German naval bases. (Swedish War Archives) 1 General1 The article has been developed on a combination of fresh studies of surviving Royal Navy War Plans files, files from Danish and Swedish archives and the author’s personal analytic prism based on more than twenty years of active staff and lecturing work with operational concepts and at the interface of politicians and armed service leaders. It has been a pleasure and relief to notice that the analysis of the Royal Navy strategic planning in a longer period conducted by Shawn Grimes parallel to my work has reached most of the same conclusions.2 There were two reasons why I had to analyse the Royal Navy planning in a book about Danish reactions to the crises of 1911 and 1912-13. Firstly because the threat to Denmark (and Western Sweden) in a war depended on what was planned for Jutland and the Kattegat in the implementation of the British blockade. That again depended completely on the blockade’s mission and ambition and on how active and forward it would be conducted. The issue was what risks were appropriate to take to make the naval and trade blockade effective. It was hotly debated and remained unsolved right up to August 1914. Secondly it was essential to understand British plans in order judge the accuracy of the German, Danish and Swedish perceptions of what the Royal Navy intended.
