  • Revolutionary Networks in the Age of Revolutions
    REVOLUTIONARY NETWORKS IN THE AGE OF REVOLUTIONS Heather Freund University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign In Paris in 1790, the Marquis de Lafayette gave the key to the Bastille to Thomas Paine to present to George Washington. Paine wrote to Washington that it was “an early trophy of the Spoils of Despotism and the first ripe fruits of American principles transplanted into Europe...That the principles of America opened the Bastile [sic] is not to be doubted, and therefore the Key comes to the right place.”1 Paine and Lafayette knew each other, and Washington, through their participation in the American Revolution. Thus, the episode was a symbolic token of the connection between the American and French Revolutions and tangible evidence of lasting personal relationships in the Age of Revolutions.2 Along with Thaddeus Kosciuszko, Paine, and Lafayette are examples of individuals who participated in more than one theater of this revolutionary age. This paper focuses on how their international fights for liberty resulted in complex notions of personal and national identity and connections between revolutions. The fact that these individuals and others participated in more than one theater of the Age of Democratic Revolutions and recognized it as a time of great promise demonstrates its significance and the importance of understanding the dynamics of the period from both an individual and international perspective. Historians often refer to the period from approximately 1776-1830 as the Age of Atlantic Revolutions, a time in which people on both sides of the Atlantic rebelled in the name of liberty and equality, amongst other things.

Qualls The Russian Revolutions: The Impact and Limitations of Western Influence After the collapse of the Soviet Union, historians have again turned their attention to the birth of the first Communist state in hopes of understanding the place of the Soviet period in the longer sweep of Russian history. Was the USSR an aberration from or a consequence of Russian culture? Did the Soviet Union represent a retreat from westernizing trends in Russian history, or was the Bolshevik revolution a product of westernization? These are vexing questions that generate a great deal of debate. Some have argued that in the late nineteenth century Russia was developing a middle class, representative institutions, and an industrial economy that, while although not as advanced as those in Western Europe, were indications of potential movement in the direction of more open government, rule of law, free market capitalism. Only the Bolsheviks, influenced by an ideology imported, paradoxically, from the West, interrupted this path of Russian political and economic westernization.

  • Slavery and the New History of Capitalism‡
    Journal of Global History (2020), 15: 2, 1–20 doi:10.1017/S1740022820000029 ARTICLE † 1 Slavery and the new history of capitalism 2 Trevor Burnard1,* and Giorgio Riello2 AQ1 3 1Wilberforce Institute, University of Hull, Hull, HU6 7RX, UK and 2Department of History and Civilization, European AQ2 4 University Institute, Via Bolognese 156, 50139 Florence, Italy 5 *Corresponding author. E-mails: [email protected]; [email protected] 6 Abstract 7 The new history of capitalism (NHC) places a great deal of emphasis on slavery as a crucial world 8 institution. Slavery, it is alleged, arose out of, and underpinned, capitalist development. This article starts 9 by showing the intellectual and scholarly foundations of some of the broad conclusions of the NHC. It 10 proceeds by arguing that capitalist transformation must rely on a global framework of analysis. The article 11 considers three critiques in relation to the NHC. First, the NHC overemphasizes the importance of 12 coercion to economic growth in the eighteenth century. We argue that what has been called ‘war 13 capitalism’ might be better served by an analysis in which the political economy of European states 14 and empires, rather than coercion, is a key factor in the transformation of capitalism at a global scale. 15 Second, in linking slavery to industrialization, the NHC proposes a misleading chronology. Cotton 16 produced in large quantities in the United States came too late to cause an Industrial Revolution which, 17 we argue, developed gradually from the latter half of the seventeenth century and which was well estab- 18 lished by the 1790s, when cotton started to arrive from the American South.

The unification of Italy in 1861 and Germany in 1871, along with expansion of the British and Russian Empires, were accompanied by rising nationalism and waves of counter-revolutionary reaction. As the industrial revolution brought tremendous wealth, the European powers fought to control trade and colonies across the globe. The romantic idea of overthrowing tyrannical oppression through violent uprisings first unleashed by the American and French Revolutions fired the imaginations of poets and artists. French painter Eugène Delacroix, like the British poet Lord Byron, became an ardent supporter of the Greeks during their war for independence (1821–29) against the Ottoman Empire. Many Europeans regarded the Greek uprising as an effort to reclaim the birthplace of democracy for Western Eugène Delacroix. Greek Cavalry Men Resting in a Forest, 1858. Oil on canvas.

The Revolutions of 1848 in Germany, Italy, and France Abstract The Revolutions of 1848 were a widespread uprising that took place across Europe in response to social and economic pressures brought on by the eighteenth century Enlightenment and the Industrial Revolution. Conservative monarchs throughout Europe were threatened as middle and working class people attempted to establish new governments that allowed the common man a voice in government function.

  • Peter Mcphee, Rethinking the French Revolution And
    56 French History and Civilization Rethinking the French Revolution and the ‘Global Crisis’ of the Late-Eighteenth Century Peter McPhee In 1780 the lawyer Charles Dominique Vissery de Bois-Valé constructed a massive lightning conductor on his house in St-Omer in north-eastern France.1 The contraption had alarmed neighbors to the point where they had obtained a court order to have it dismantled. When Vissery prevaricated, they resorted to throwing stones, singing and chanting. The court order was confirmed by the local Magistrate’s Court, but Vissery refused to be defeated. He appealed to the highest court in the province, the Council of Artois at Arras, and charged the lawyer François Buissart with presenting his defense. Buissart was a passionate amateur scientist, nicknamed “the barometer” by locals. He consulted eminent physicists and wrote a voluminous report to brief a young friend and new lawyer in town, Maximilien Robespierre. Robespierre, then aged 25, was able in 1783 to have the ruling overturned in a context of references to enlightenment triumphing over “obscurantism.” “Gentlemen,” he pleaded to the Council: You must defend Science.... [T]he fact that the whole of Europe is watching this case will ensure that your decision will be as well-known as possible.… Paris, London, Berlin, Stockholm, Turin, St Petersburg will hear almost as soon as Arras of this mark of your wisdom and enthusiasm for scientific progress.2 Peter McPhee is Emeritus Professor at the University of Melbourne. His most recent books are Robespierre: a Revolutionary Life (New Haven and London: 2012), and (ed.), A Companion to the French Revolution (Oxford: 2013).
