Marie-Christine Michaud Depuis la découverte des Amériques au XVe siècle, les liens entre le Nouveau Monde et l‘Ancien Monde ont évolué en parallèle du développement de l‘internationalisation des échanges qu‘ils soient intellectuels, politiques, commerciaux ou humains. Aussi, les contacts entre les deux continents ont pu conduire à un système de concurrence, de coopération dans certains cas, de rapports de force dans d‘autres. Partant du constat qu‘il existe des aspects dynamiques et positifs dans les rapports de force puisqu‘ils peuvent permettre de définir sa société, de construire sa culture et d‘asseoir son identité, comme le soutenait Claude Levi-Strauss dans Guerres et commerce chez les Indiens de l’Amérique du sud (1943), nous pouvons nous interroger aujourd‘hui, sur la façon dont ces rapports de force ont contribué au progrès des Amériques. En effet, s‘ils peuvent se traduire par des conflits, ils sont également synonymes d‘inspiration. Les guerres d‘indépendance, les révolutions promues par des idéaux post-coloniaux, exemples types des rapports de force entre l‘Ancien et le Nouveau Monde, ont fait émerger de nouvelles identités nationales ; les mouvements de population, notamment de l‘Europe vers les Amériques, confirment la concurrence entre les systèmes sociaux, économiques et politiques. Toutefois, comme l‘Histoire du XXe siècle en témoigne, ce sont avant tout des liens de coopération entre les divers pays qui ont permis aux Amériques, comme à l‘Europe d‘ailleurs, de poursuivre leur avancée vers le modernisme. En fait, comme ce volume en témoigne, les rapports de force ont pu se transformer en jeux d‘influence. Le flux des langues, le partage de traits culturels, les échanges commerciaux ou idéologiques, les modèles sociaux, voire politiques, caractérisent les relations entre les Amériques et l‘Europe. Qu‘il s‘agisse pour certains d‘un enrichissement culturel ou pour d‘autres d‘un appauvrissement social, il n‘en demeure pas moins que les relations entre Ancien et Nouveau Mondes se déclinent avant tout en termes d‘interactions et d‘interférences, pour reprendre la formulation de Michael Fischer dans Ethnicity and the Post-Modern Arts of Memory (1986). Aussi, l‘intérêt de cet ouvrage collectif réside dans l‘originalité des approches et des sujets traités. Il donne des visions multiples et complémentaires de la nature des rapports entre les Amériques et l‘Europe. Des ré-équilibrages se sont opérés entre les deux continents qui, tour à tour, ont occupé une place prédominante : l‘Europe a d‘abord servi de modèle ; puis l‘Amérique a commencé à jouer un rôle prédominant. Il s‘agit donc ici de saisir les enjeux dans un aspect diachronique (le passé contre le présent), mais également dans des perspectives économique (avec des marchés internationaux), idéologique (à travers l‘élaboration de nouvelles orientations politiques), démographique (dûs aux mouvements de population), culturelle (linguistique ou religieuse) et d‘organisation nationale, pendant la Guerre froide entre autres. La première partie du volume rappelle les influences de l‘Europe sur les Amériques tandis que la deuxième partie montre comment le modèle américain a cherché à s‘imposer face à l‘Ancien Monde. Toutefois, un certain ré-équilibrage a pris forme, en matière de politique par exemple, ce que confirment les analyses de la troisième partie. Ombeline ANDROUIN étudie l‘influence de la pensée positiviste d‘Auguste Comte dans la politique gouvernementale de Porfirio Diaz au Mexique à la fin du XIXe siècle. En plus de conduire à une réorganisation du système éducatif, le positivisme a permis au dictateur d‘asseoir sa politique « d‘ordre et de progrès ». Cette contribution souligne l‘évolution du rapport de force entre la France et le Mexique : l‘influence française subie s‘est transformée en influence consentie. Dans son chapitre, Caroline MEVEL constate que les liens entre l‘Europe et les Amériques peuvent se traduire par un phénomène de mimétisme : c‘est l‘idée de prendre comme modèle un système perçu comme plus constructif plutôt que de considérer les influences extérieures dans un rapport de force. La question de l‘aide sociale apportée aux plus démunis aux États-Unis grâce à des institutions telles que les settlement houses (centres d‘aide sociale et culturelle qui visent à l‘épanouissement des personnes et l‘amélioration de leur condition sociale) a en fait traversé l‘océan de l‘Ancien Monde au Nouveau pour se répandre dans les villes où les pauvres et les migrants se concentrent. Alors que Jane Addams, qui fonde Hull-House, institution symbolique de l‘aide sociale à Chicago à la fin du XIXe siècle, est inspirée par le modèle britannique proposé par Arnold Toynbee, Eleanor Roosevelt, figure de proue de l‘assistance sociale à partir de la crise de 1929, fut, elle, influencée par l‘École de Ruches, en France. Ces deux cas témoignent de l‘inspiration que peut susciter l‘Ancien Monde auprès des progressistes du Nouveau. Gilles CHAMEROIS, dans son étude linguistique d‘un extrait du roman de Thomas Pynchon Mason & Dixon (1997), met en exergue les paradoxes des Lumières européennes et leur influence sur les États-Unis à la veille de la Révolution. À travers l‘analyse du canard de Vaucanson, célèbre automate du XVIIIe siècle, et la façon dont sa figure traverse l‘océan, c‘est la naissance de la nation étatsunienne qui est l‘objet de la méditation de Pynchon : la mise en scène des représentations scientifiques de l‘époque montre les paradoxes qui les sous-tendent, et en même temps les interactions culturelles qui lient les deux continents, sous la forme par exemple des influences linguistiques qui ont conduit à l‘élaboration d‘une identité nouvelle aux États-Unis. Il peut s‘agir d‘interactions autant que d‘influences, même paradoxales, car l‘environnement géographique, social, politique, culturel, voire linguistique, a un impact non négligeable dans la construction des sociétés et des individus. D‘ailleurs, les Amériques ont été fondées suivant une vision sociétale idéalisée de l‘Ancien Monde adaptée aux besoins de l‘environnement du Nouveau Continent. Marie-Christine MICHAUD, dans sa contribution sur l‘influence des théories eugénistes qui se sont développées au début du XXe siècle aux États-Unis et qui ont joué un rôle déterminant sur la politique migratoire fédérale et le rejet des migrants européens, notamment des Italiens, rappelle que le Nouveau Monde récusait les influences religieuses, sociales, « raciales » de l‘Ancien Monde incarnées par les migrants, d‘où une forte opposition à l‘immigration. Les États-Unis imposent alors leur modèle aux nouveaux arrivants. Mais ceux-ci, par souci de freiner le phénomène d‘aliénation produit par leur installation dans un nouvel environnement et la politique d‘américanisation des étrangers menée par la société américaine, tentent de résister au processus de déculturation, ce qui révèle un rapport de force latent entre les migrants européens et leur société d‘accueil. C‘est ce que le chapitre de Maria José FERNANDEZ-VICENTE complète dans son étude de l‘émigration espagnole en Argentine après la Seconde Guerre mondiale. Les procédures administratives afin d‘obtenir l‘autorisation d‘immigrer confirment qu‘un rapport de force s‘est établi entre les individus et les États. La politique migratoire argentine impose un contrôle implacable des nouveaux arrivants, et même des Espagnols qui sont considérés comme assimilables et qui sont mieux acceptés que les autres groupes nationaux (en raison de l‘histoire qui lie les deux pays). L‘État se trouve face à un dilemme : l‘immigration

    DONALD NICOL Donald MacGillivray Nicol 1923–2003 DONALD MACGILLIVRAY NICOL was born in Portsmouth on 4 February 1923, the son of a Scottish Presbyterian minister. He was always proud of his MacGillivray antecedents (on his mother’s side) and of his family’s connection with Culloden, the site of the Jacobite defeat in 1745, on whose correct pronunciation he would always insist. Despite attending school first in Sheffield and then in London, he retained a slight Scottish accent throughout his life. By the time he left St Paul’s School, already an able classical scholar, it was 1941; the rest of his education would have to wait until after the war. Donald’s letters, which he carefully preserved and ordered with the instinct of an archivist, provide details of the war years.1 In 1942, at the age of nineteen, he was teaching elementary maths, Latin and French to the junior forms at St-Anne’s-on-Sea, Lancashire. He commented to his father that he would be dismissed were it known that he was a conscientious objector. By November of that year he had entered a Friends’ Ambulance 1 The bulk of his letters are to his father (1942–6) and to his future wife (1949–50). Also preserved are the letters of his supervisor, Sir Steven Runciman, over a forty-year period. Other papers are his diaries, for a short period of time in 1944, his notebooks with drawings and plans of churches he studied in Epiros, and his account of his travels on Mount Athos. This material is now in the King’s College London Archives, by courtesy of the Nicol family.

  • Britain and the Greek Civil War, 1944–1949 British Imperialism, Public Opinion and the Coming of the Cold War
    Britain and the Greek Civil War, 1944–1949 British Imperialism, Public Opinion and the Coming of the Cold War JOHN SAKKAS Harrassowitz Verlag (Germany, 2013), 149 pp/28 illust. ISBN: 978-3-447-06718-8 The Greek civil war holds a significant place in the history of twentieth-century Europe for many reasons. Firstly, it was Europe’s bloodiest conflict in the second half of the 1940s; secondly, it marked a turning point in the Cold War; and lastly, it showed how Greece had become an ‘apple of discord’ for both American and Soviet involvement in Greek affairs which led to even more complexity in the country’s post-war politics. Yet despite its significance, only a limited number of studies have been carried out on the subject of this era. After the troubled period of the 1950s and 1960s, a time dominated by extreme conservatism, anti-communism and nationalist paroxysms, it was difficult to access material sources and this made it nearly impossible to conduct scholarly research, so that older politically-charged interpretations and accounts went mostly unchallenged. However, in the past two decades a new historiographical current has developed as regards the civil war in Greece and new evaluations and debates have emerged that shed fresh light on conventional supposition. Britain and the Greek Civil War, 1944–1949 draws upon the author’s doctoral dissertation and provides a welcome addition to studies on that period in Greek history. John Sakkas takes up a novel approach that does not focus solely on Greek politics, whether they are national or local, nor does it centre simply on British policy in Greece.

THE LABOUR PARTY AND BRITISH INTERVENTION IN GREECE, 1944-45 As the Second World War drew towards a close, the leader of the Labour party, Clement Attlee, was well aware of the meagre and mediocre nature of his party’s representation in the House of Lords. With the Labour leader in the Lords, Lord Addison, he hatched a plan whereby a number of worthy Labour veterans from the Commons would be elevated to the upper house in the 1945 New Years Honours List. The plan, however, was derailed at the last moment. On 19 December Attlee wrote to tell Addison that ‘it is wiser to wait a bit. We don’t want by-elections at the present time with our people in a rather emotional state on Greece – the Com[munist]s so active’.

  • France and the German Question, 1945–1955
    CreswellFrance and and the Trachtenberg German Question France and the German Question, 1945–1955 ✣ What role did France play in the Cold War, and how is French policy in that conºict to be understood? For many years the prevailing as- sumption among scholars was that French policy was not very important. France, as the historian John Young points out, was “usually mentioned in Cold War histories only as an aside.” When the country was discussed at all, he notes, it was “often treated as a weak and vacillating power, obsessed with outdated ideas of a German ‘menace.’”1 And indeed scholars often explicitly argued (to quote one typical passage) that during the early Cold War period “the major obsession of French policy was defense against the German threat.” “French awareness of the Russian threat,” on the other hand, was sup- posedly “belated and reluctant.”2 The French government, it was said, was not eager in the immediate postwar period to see a Western bloc come into being to balance Soviet power in Europe; the hope instead was that France could serve as a kind of bridge between East and West.3 The basic French aim, according to this interpretation, was to keep Germany down by preserving the wartime alliance intact. Germany itself would no longer be a centralized state; the territory on the left bank of the Rhine would not even be part of Germany; the Ruhr basin, Germany’s industrial heartland, would be subject to allied control. Those goals, it was commonly assumed, were taken seriously, not just by General Charles de Gaulle, who headed the French provisional government until Jan- uary 1946, but by Georges Bidault, who served as foreign minister almost without in- terruption from 1944 through mid-1948 and was the most important ªgure in French foreign policy in the immediate post–de Gaulle period.

    who’s Who in the War in Europe (National Archives and Records Administration, 342-FH-3A-20068.) POLITICAL LEADERS Allies FRANKLIN DELANO ROOSEVELT When World War II began, many Americans strongly opposed involvement in foreign conflicts. President Roosevelt maintained official USneutrality but supported measures like the Lend-Lease Act, which provided invaluable aid to countries battling Axis aggression. After Pearl Harbor and Germany’s declaration of war on the United States, Roosevelt rallied the country to fight the Axis powers as part of the Grand Alliance with Great Britain and the Soviet Union. (Image: Library of Congress, LC-USZ62-128765.) WINSTON CHURCHILL In the 1930s, Churchill fiercely opposed Westernappeasement of Nazi Germany. He became prime minister in May 1940 following a German blitzkrieg (lightning war) against Norway, Denmark, the Netherlands, Belgium, and France. He then played a pivotal role in building a global alliance to stop the German juggernaut. One of the greatest orators of the century, Churchill raised the spirits of his countrymen through the war’s darkest days as Germany threatened to invade Great Britain and unleashed a devastating nighttime bombing program on London and other major cities. (Image: Library of Congress, LC-USW33-019093-C.) JOSEPH STALIN Stalin rose through the ranks of the Communist Party to emerge as the absolute ruler of the Soviet Union. In the 1930s, he conducted a reign of terror against his political opponents, including much of the country’s top military leadership. His purge of Red Army generals suspected of being disloyal to him left his country desperately unprepared when Germany invaded in June 1941.

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.
