Henry Morgenthau Papers 4 Scope and Content Note The papers of Henry Morgenthau (1856-1946) span the years 1795-1941, with the bulk of the items concentrated in the period 1870-1941. The collection consists of original or transcribed diaries, family papers, correspondence, speeches and writings, subject files, and miscellaneous clippings, printed matter, historical collectibles, and other material. The papers are arranged nine series: Diaries, Family Papers, General Correspondence, Letterbooks, Special Correspondence, Speeches and Writings, Subject File, Miscellany, and Oversize. The material is in English, with some in French, German, and Greek. Henry Morgenthau, who immigrated to the United States from Mannheim, Germany, in 1866, was a businessman, diplomat, and philanthropist whose service as ambassador to Turkey during World War I brought him center stage to Middle Eastern affairs and the breakup of the Ottoman Empire. Sent to Constantinople by Woodrow Wilson in 1913, he held the ambassadorship through the first two years of war and the beginning of the last fatal round of Armenian massacres. He aided Allied personnel in Turkey after it sided with the Central Powers, and he took the initiative to notify Washington and the world of the plight of the Armenians. Other accomplishments included helping save the lives of Jewish settlers in Palestine and serving as technical advisor on Turkish affairs at the Paris peace negotiations in 1919. He joined in the formation of the Armenian Relief Committee, a charitable organization that preceded Near East Relief, and after the war he received from President Wilson an appointment to become chairman of a special commission to investigate the persecution of Jews in Poland. A crowning philanthropic achievement was the massive resettlement under League of Nations auspices of more than one million Greeks exiled from Turkey after the Greco-Turkish War. His last important office was as an American delegate to the World Monetary and Economic Conference in London in 1933. The papers in this collection reflect Morgenthau's many activities as a public servant. Material relating to his family, while sketchy and incomplete, includes the manuscript of an early autobiographical essay, various genealogical and family memorabilia, and a smattering of correspondence that is strongest not in the Family Papers series, but in the Letterbooks series. Covering the years 1922-1940, the letterbooks contain some correspondence outside the family, but are notable for the handwritten copies of the private messages that Morgenthau sent to his wife, to his son, Secretary of the Treasury Henry Morgenthau (1891-1967), and to a few other children and relatives. Also important in revealing the personal side of his career and involvements are the diaries Morgenthau kept. Clustered in two principal groupings, 1871-1886 and 1917-1948, they are perhaps most valuable for the decade beginning with the American entry into World War I. Entries for Morgenthau's Paris

This can be seen as a huge diplomatic blunder; Russia wanted to renew it but now had no assurances it was safe from a German invasion. France courted Russia; the two became allies. Germany, now out of necessity, developed closer ties to Austria.

  • World War I 1914-1918
    A Significant War Over 16 million people died in WWI and over 20 million were wounded, totaling over 37 million. There are 317 million people in the United States today. That means, that if the casualties from WWI were applied to the United States today, one in every nine people would be dead or wounded. That is how much of an impact this war had on the world, especially Europe, and why it is important to know and understand. World War I What was the correlation between the Age of Imperialism and the outbreak of World War I? Long Term Causes Militarism- Glorifying Military Power Keeping a large standing army prepared for war Arms race for military technology Long Term Causes Nationalism- Deep Devotion to One’s Nation Competition and Rivalry developed between European nations for territory and markets (Example France and Germany- Alsace-Lorraine) Long Term Causes Imperialism- European competition for colonies Quest for colonies often almost led to war Imperialism led to rivalry and mistrust amongst European nations Long Term Causes Alliance System- Designed to keep peace in Europe, instead pushed continent towards war Many Alliances made in secret By 1907 two major alliances: Triple Alliance and Triple Entente The Two Sides Triple Alliance Triple Entente Germany England Austria-Hungary France Italy Russia Central Powers Allied Powers Germany England, France, Austria-Hungary Russia, United Ottoman Empire States, Italy, Serbia, Belgium, Switzerland Game of Allegiance Did it get confusing trying to keep your allegiances

  • Revolution in Russia and the Formation of the Soviet Union
    CLASSROOM COUNTRY PROFILES Revolution in Russia and the Formation of the Soviet Union The Russian Revolution often refers to two events that took place in 1917. The first, known as the February Revolution, forced Tsar Nicholas II to abdicate and led to the formation of a provisional government. During the second event, commonly known as the October Revolution or Bolshevik Revolution, Vla- dimir Lenin’s Bolshevik Party seized power and began seven decades of one-party rule. Some scholars and Soviet critics have argued that the second event was actually a coup by Lenin and his supporters and not a true revolution. The Russian Empire in 1914.

    Chapter Six The War Grinds to a Gruesome End 5 The Armistice came, the day we had dreamed of. The guns stopped, the fighting stopped. Four years of noise and bangs ended in silence. The killings had stopped. We were stunned. I had been out since 1914. I should have been happy. I was sad. I thought of the slaughter, the hardships, the waste, and the friends I had lost.1 —British sergeant-major Richard Tobin of the Army’s Royal Naval Division ussia’s withdrawal from the Great War in late 1917 was a major benefit to Germany and the other Central Powers. True, the Germans would have R to leave some manpower in place in the East in order to keep an eye on Ukraine, Poland, Finland, and Baltic states that it had received according to the terms of the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk. But with Russia no longer a concern, Ger- man military commanders could still shift huge numbers of troops, guns, and other military resources to the Western Front, where the enemy remained for- midable. The only question that remained, according to German strategists, was whether this additional muscle would enable them to defeat reeling French and British armies before Americans troops began pouring into Europe. A Race Against Time for Germany In early 1918 Kaiser Wilhelm II remained Germany’s emperor and the offi- cial commander-in-chief of its military. In reality, however, the war had elevat- ed the country’s generals to positions of influence that eclipsed the Kaiser.

The Austrian government blamed Serbia for harboring terrorists and sent the Serbian government an ultimatum with which that country found it impossible to comply. This set in motion a series of alliances. During the month of July, European diplomats debated whether to engage in a war to obtain certain long-sought goals and to justify a huge military buildup. By the end of July all of Europe was poised on the edge of war. In this lesson plan, students, acting as diplomats for the countries involved in the origins of World War I, read and respond to a telegram of July 30, 1914, from Belgium urging the interested countries to avoid war.

Years of misrule, war, and oppression of its various nationalities had virtually driven the Turks from Europe, leaving the weakened Empire on the verge of collapse. By the 1870s the Armenians were the most troubling group, having gained international sympathy at the Congress of Berlin.
