THE WHITE INTERNATIONAL: ANATOMY OF A TRANSNATIONAL RADICAL REVISIONIST PLOT IN CENTRAL EUROPE AFTER WORLD WAR I Nicholas Alforde Submitted in accordance with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy School of Social and International Studies University of Bradford 2013 Principal Supervisor: Gábor Bátonyi, DPhil Abstract Nicholas Alforde The White International: Anatomy of a Transnational Radical Revisionist Plot in Central Europe after World War I Keywords: Bauer, Gömbös, Horthy, Ludendorff, Orgesch, paramilitary, Prónay, revision, Versailles, von Kahr The denial of defeat, the harsh Versailles Treaty and unsuccessful attempts by paramilitary units to recover losses in the Baltic produced in post-war Germany an anti- Bolshevik, anti-Entente, radical right-wing cabal of officers with General Ludendorff and Colonel Bauer at its core. Mistakenly citing a lack of breadth as one of the reason for the failure of their amateurishly executed Hohenzollern restoration and Kapp Putsch schemes, Bauer and co-conspirator Ignatius Trebitsch-Lincoln devised the highly ambitious White International plot. It sought to form a transnational league of Bavaria, Austria and Hungary to force the annulment of the Paris Treaties by the coordinated use of paramilitary units from the war vanquished nations. It set as its goals the destruction of Bolshevism in all its guises throughout Europe, the restoration of the monarchy in Russia, the systematic elimination of all Entente-sponsored Successor States and the declaration of war on the Entente.

  • Soviet”: from Bolshevik Utopia to Soviet Modernity
    Introduction Countercultures Ideologies and Practices Alternative Visions A HISTORY OF THE “SOVIET”: FROM BOLSHEVIK UTOPIA TO SOVIET MODERNITY Anna Krylova Introduction: Crossing out “Proletarian,” Writing “Soviet”1 In early 1936,Aleksandr Kosarev, the thirty-three-year-old leader of the All-Union Young Communist League (Komsomol), and his Central Committee worked away on a draft of the organiza- tion’s new membership rules. The draft was forwarded directly to Joseph Stalin, who must have spent hours hand-editing the lengthy document. The resulting document was cleansed of what most scholars today would associate with the signature Bolshevik lingua franca of the socialist project undertaken in the Soviet Union. Stalin consistently crossed out the familiar Bolshevik terms, categories, and metaphors that Kosarev had copied from the old rules. Stalin wrote “nonaffi liated” in place of “proletarian” and “laboring” in place of “class conscious.”2 Two months later, at the Komsomol Congress that gathered to adopt the new mem- bership rules, Stalin began to use the term “Soviet” to refer to these “party-less” and “laboring” young people. The toast with which he ended the Congress, “Long live the Soviet youth,” sounded like a definitive corrective to Kosarev and other weath- ered Komsomol leaders, who still preferred to refer to their 1 I am grateful to Social organization as the “young generation of the proletarian revolu- History for allowing me to draw on materials 3 tionaries.” published in Anna Krylova, “Imagining Socialism in the Soviet Century,” Social The odd but explicit opposition between the Bolshevik political History 42, no. 3 (2017): lingua franca and Stalin’s discursive intervention carried out under 315–41, in this essay, DOI: 10.1080/03071022 the rubric of the “Soviet” cannot help but give a scholar of modern .2017.1327640, reprinted Russia pause.

  • The Irish Working Class and the War of Independence
    The Irish Working Class and the War of Independence Conor Kostick of rural workers battled white armies of the FFF (Farmers Freedom Force). In the west, where great tracts of land were still owned by absentee landlords, the struggle took the form of small farmers breaking up the large estates or in some cases appropriating them collectively and working them as soviets.1 Yet, of course, it was in the urban centres that the working class displayed the great- ‘Workers Soviet Mills, We Make Bread Not Profits’ est militancy and in addition to an almost continuous sequence of strikes and local gen- eral strikes there were five crucial turning points in these revolutionary years created In the coming centenary commemora- by urban working class activity: firstly, a tions of the Easter Rising of 1916 there will general strike against conscription; secondly, be a great deal of enthusiasm for the efforts a general strike at the beginning of 1919 in of that generation to escape the British Em- Belfast; thirdly, the Limerick Soviet of April pire.

Chapel Hill 2015 Approved by: Konrad H. Jarausch Christopher R. Browning Klaus W. Larres Susan Dabney Pennybacker Donald M. Reid Benjamin Waterhouse © 2015 Scott H. Krause ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Scott H. Krause: Outpost of Freedom: A German-American Network’s Campaign to bring Cold War Democracy to West Berlin, 1933-66 (under the direction of Konrad H. Jarausch) This study explores Berlin’s sudden transformation from the capital of Nazi Germany to bastion of democracy in the Cold War. This project has unearthed how this remarkable development resulted from a transatlantic campaign by liberal American occupation officials, and returned émigrés, or remigrés, of the Marxist Social Democratic Party (SPD). This informal network derived from members of “Neu Beginnen” in American exile. Concentrated in wartime Manhattan, their identity as German socialists remained remarkably durable despite the Nazi persecution they faced and their often-Jewish background. Through their experiences in New Deal America, these self-professed “revolutionary socialists” came to emphasize “anti- totalitarianism,” making them suspicious of Stalinism. Serving in the OSS, leftists such as Hans Hirschfeld forged friendships with American left-wing liberals. These experiences connected a wider network of remigrés and occupiers by forming an epistemic community in postwar Berlin. They recast Berlin’s ruins as “Outpost of Freedom” in the Cold War.

Although the First World War was over, Germany began a new and violent chapter as an outbreak of civil war threatened to tear the country apart. The birth of the Weimar Republic, Germany’s first democratic government, did not begin smoothly as republican institutions failed to re-establish centralized political and military authority in the wake of the collapse of the imperial regime. Coupled with painful aftershocks from defeat in the Great War, the immediate postwar era had only one consistent force shaping and guiding political and cultural life: violence.

  • Forgotten Revolution: the Limerick Soviet of April 1919’
    ‘Forgotten Revolution: The Limerick Soviet of April 1919’ Notes for an illustrated talk by Liam Cahill at the Granary Library, Limerick 10th April 2019 Our story begins with a young man named Robert Byrne. He was born in Dublin on 28 November 1889 and was named after his father, Robert, a fitter by trade, from the North Strand. His mother was Annie Hurley, from Limerick and after his father died in 1907, the family moved to live at Town Wall Cottages. SLIDE 1 Robert Byrne Robert Byrne was employed as a telegraph operator in Limerick GPO and was elected as a delegate from the Post Office Clerks’ Association to Limerick United Trades and Labour Council. He joined the 2nd Limerick Battalion, Irish Volunteers, under the command of Peadar Dunne, a veteran of Easter Week 1916. Byrne had been under Special Branch observation since before the 1916 Rising. Just before Christmas 1918 he was elected Adjutant of the Second Battalion but the tolerance of the postal authorities had reached its limits. In January 1919, he was dismissed from the Post Office because of his Republican activities. 1 On New Year’s Eve 1918, a party of Royal Irish Constabulary had raided the family home in Town Wall Cottages. They found a revolver in a locker beside his bed and a military instruction manual in the kitchen. On January 13, 1919 the RIC arrested Byrne and charged him with possession of a revolver and ammunition and he was remanded in prison. For a short time after his imprisonment he refused to take food.
