  • CHAPTER IV at the Census Taken in 1911, the Last Before the Outbreak Of
    CHAPTER IV THE ENEMY WITHIN THE GATES AT the census taken in 1911, the last before the outbreak of the war, there were within the Commonwealth 32,990 persons who were born in Germany, and 2,774 born in Austria- Hungary. These figures do not afford a clue to the total number of inhabitants of German origin, or who had ties of affinity connecting them with enemy countries, nor do the census statistics afford a dependable means of estimating the probable number of such persons. As will be explained in a later section of this chapter, there were in South Australia and Queensland, and to a lesser extent in Victoria and Tasmania, towns whose population consisted mainly of people of Australian birth, and whose forbears had for several generations been Australian, but who nevertheless were senti- nientally attached to Germany as the land of their family origin. Very many of these habitually spoke German, were Lutheran in religion, and piobably had never seriously thought of being placed in the predicament of having to discriminate between the allegiance which they owed to the, British Crown and nation by virtue of citizenship, and the feeling--which there had never been any need for them to suppress-of affection for the L'nterland of their ancestors, whence came to them their literature, language and religion. It was not uii- natural that some of the many thousands of German descent were prepared, from recklessness, or bravado, or quite honest patriotic motives, to help the German cause if they could, and their intimate knowledge of Australia and of Australian industry increased their power of injuring her cause.

  • The Vietnam War, 1965-1975
    How I will compress four lectures into one because I’ve run out of time. A last‐minute addition to my bibliography: • B.G. Burkett (Vanderbilt, 66) and Glenna Whitley, Stolen Valor: How the Vietnam Generation was robbed of its Heroes and its History (Dallas, 1998). • Burkett makes many claims in this book, but the most fascinating aspect of it is his exposure of the “phony Vietnam veteran,” a phenomenon that still amazes me. “Many Flags” campaign ‐ Allied support 1.)

  • The Vietnam "Moving Wall" August 2 - 6, 2012 • 2670 E
    A SALUTE TO VETERANS THE WAR ON TERROR FOUNDATION – PRESENTS – The Vietnam "Moving Wall" August 2 - 6, 2012 • 2670 E. State Street, Hermitage, PA 16148 The avenue of 444 flags remembers AMERICA HELD HOSTAGE American fl ags for as far as the eye can see greet visitors as they enter Hillcrest Memorial Park in Hermitage, Pennsylvania. Originally they were the symbol of “America Held Hostage”. Today the Avenue of 444 Flags remains as silent proclamation that our freedoms must never be taken for granted. The story began on November 4, 1979, when an angry mob led by university students stormed the gates of the American embassy in Tehran, Iran and took 53 Americans hostage. Americans watched in disbelief as the days on the calendar turned and negotiations with the terrorists failed to secure their release. As day 100 of the crisis approached, Tom Flynn, owner of Hillcrest Memorial Park decided he was tired of seeing the nation’s fl ag burned by Iranians on the 6 o’clock news. He was determined to do something to help Hermitage and the nation remember our hostages. With the encouragement of local veterans organizations, fl ag poles donated by Wheatland Tube, help from unemployed steel workers and casket fl ags donated by families of veterans buried in Hillcrest, on February 11, 1980, an American fl ag was raised for each of the 100 days of captivity. Thus the Eternal Flame, lit by six former hostages when they began the commitment to raise a new fl ag every day until returned to Hermitage to see the fl ags and dedicate the the hostages were released.

  • THE GRAND HARMONIOUS SYMMETRY of JAPAN: an Investigation in Uncanny Flag Similarities Christopher J. Maddish
    THE GRAND HARMONIOUS SYMMETRY OF JAPAN: An Investigation in Uncanny Flag Similarities Christopher J. Maddish The 47 prefectures of Japan have unique flags, whose designs came from various sources. Many flags employ a stylized version of Japanese alphabet in either Hiragana or Katakana on a solid field. Like most sub‐national flags, they are strongly influenced by the national colors and design. Conventional wisdom assumes this process of sub‐national flag selection is a fairly random, yet attenuated to the cultural tastes the particular nation. The thesis of this paper is that a pattern can be found among the prefectural flags of Japan. The revolutionary and rather uncanny pattern is that each prefecture’s flag has a kind of “harmonious twin”. This paper will first describe the methodology of how flags are paired, followed by several illustrative examples. This is a new system of classification of flags based on groups limited to two. This paper’s title, the Grand Harmonious Symmetry of Japan, hints that the flags of Japan exhibit a certain degree of harmony and the title itself exhibits a subtle relationship to Japan. By way of uncanny historical, geographical, and cultural events a pattern of harmonious symmetry will be presented. On the left is the name of Japan written in Japanese as Nihon, literally translated as Sun‐ Source. The upper kaniji that looks like a digital eight means sun, the lower kanji means source, book, and root. To the right is the classical name of Japan, Yamato. The upper kanji means grand or big. The kanji on the lower right means harmony.

  • Post-Colonial Relationships on the Flagpole
    Middle States Geographer, 2018, 51: 77-86 IMPERIAL BANNERS? POST-COLONIAL RELATIONSHIPS ON THE FLAGPOLE Noah Anders Carlen Department of Geography and Environmental Engineering United States Military Academy West Point, NY 10997 ABSTRACT: This research was conducted to examine trends in the flags of post-colonial nations around the world, grouping them by the empire to which they belonged. A flag is the preeminent symbol of a nation, typically representing a country’s most important values. As empires broke up, dozens of new countries struggled to find and establish common identities. As expected, countries that went through similar colonial experiences produced flags with similar values, reflecting their history with imperialism. This research compiled data of what was represented on the national flag of every former colonial country and tallied how many from each empire (Portuguese, Spanish, French, and British) included certain values or ideas. The resulting information showed that the institution of independence was much more prominent in Portuguese and Spanish countries than it was in French and British countries, caused by greater struggles during their colonial period. This project reveals how flags can be used collectively as a powerful tool to analyze geographic and historical trends, using national symbols as a point of comparison between countries across the globe. Keywords: Flags, vexillology, colonialism, identity INTRODUCTION Flags are strongly connected to the concepts of patriotism and national identity, and as such they reveal a lot about who they represent. Like any symbol, they are dynamic over time, depicting only a snippet of a people’s values and how they define their country.

  • The Propagandistic Rhetoric of Presidential Petitions for War
    A CALL TO ARMS: THE PROPAGANDISTIC RHETORIC OF PRESIDENTIAL PETITIONS FOR WAR by Howard R. Reese Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts in the English Program YOUNGSTOWN STATE UNIVERSITY August, 2009 A Call To Arms: The Propagandistic Rhetoric of Presidential Petitions for War Howard R. Reese I hereby release this thesis to the public. I understand that this thesis will be made available from the OhioLINK ETD Center and the Maag Library Circulation Desk for public access. I also authorize the University or other individuals to make copies of this thesis as needed for scholarly research. Signature: ______________________________________________________________ Howard R. Reese, Student Date Approvals: ______________________________________________________________ Dr. Jay L. Gordon, Thesis Advisor Date ______________________________________________________________ Dr. Jeffrey M. Buchanan, Committee Member Date ______________________________________________________________ Dr. Steven R. Brown, Committee Member Date ______________________________________________________________ Peter J. Kasvinsky, Dean of School of Graduate Studies & Research Date iii ABSTRACT Eleven times in the history of the United States has a President gone before Congress, asked for a declaration of war against a sovereign foreign state, and received it. This thesis contends that although there may be valid reasons to justify a petition for war, those reasons, if they exist, are secondary to propaganda that appeals to a public’s fears, weaknesses, collective history, and desire for authoritative leadership. Chapter I of this study is an overview of propaganda—its origin as a device of the Roman Catholic Church for propagating the gospel of Christ throughout Europe and the Americas, its evolution into a device for promoting war, and its acquisition of sinister connotations in the 20th century.

    THINGS TO KNOW ABOUT PARIS TO HELP YOU PREPARE (This information was compiled by AUSA from various online sources) 1. Location and Geography 2. Official Language and Religion 3. National Flag 4. Climate 5. Currency 6. Tipping 7. Key Words/Phrases Location and Geography Paris occupies the heart of a sedimentary basin in the western reaches of the great plains of Northern Europe. In the centre of the fluvial plain of the Seine, the city lies just downstream of the Seine-Marne confluence and upstream of the confluence with the Oise. The naturally occurring waterway crossroads explains the existence and exceptional development over fifteen centuries of this urban pole. More precisely, Paris formed around the l'île de la Cité at the junction of two great waterways. The north-south axis weaves between the hills of Montmartre and Belleville over the hillock of la Chapelle, the gateway to gares du Nord et de l'Estand the Saint-Martin canal. At Châtelet in the centre, the east-west axis runs alongside the Seine on the right bank, through la Bastille, the Louvre and the Champs-Élysées, over to the suburbs in Chaillot and beyond, la Défense.From there, the axis runs along Rue Saint-Martin and Rue Saint-Denis, crosses the Seine at the pont au Change and climbs up the right bank, following the Montagne Sainte- Geneviève. Official Language and Religion The languages of France include the French language and some regional languages. The French language is the only official language of France according to the second article of the French Constitution, and is by far the most widely spoken.
