MOSES Price: $1.40 University of Queensland Papers Departments of Government and History Volume I Number 4 UNIVERSITY OF QUEENSLAND PRESS St. Lucia 24 September 1968 WHOLLY SET UP AND PRINTED IN AUSTRALIA BY WATSON FERGUSON AND COMPANY, BRISBANE, QUEENSLAND 1968 REGISTERED IN AUSTRALIA FOR TRANSMISSION BY POST AS A BOOK FOREWORD The author's aim in presenting this monograph on the war aims of Imperial Germany is twofold : in the firstplace it is vitally necessary for Australian students to be informed of new developments in all branches of scholarly research performed overseas otherwise our standards will lag behind those of Europe and North America. As a student in German universities from 1961 to 1965 the author was able to witness the current war-guilt debate at first hand and was impressed by the fact that even in such a heavily worked over topic as the First World War, dramatic new evidence was still being unearthed. The second reason for this monograph on the debate is to point up its significance for the historical discipline in general. It shows that "facts" can be interpreted in many different lights and that as Oscar Wilde once pointed out the truth is rarely pure and never simple. In other words the debate shows that it is unwise to be dogmatic about anything in history if only because there is rarely a situation where all the relevant facts are available. And finally, the debate, since it is being carried on largely by German historians, represents a case study as to how false and incomplete images of the past can dominate people's beliefs, attitudes and behaviour, especially in political matters.

  • Ostpolitik Und Geschichtsbewußtsein in Deutschland Zu Reden
    VIERTELJAHRSHEFTE FÜR ZEITGESCHICHTE 34. Jahrgang 1986 Heft 2 DIETRICH GEYER OSTPOLITIK UND GESCHICHTSBEWUSSTSEIN IN DEUTSCHLAND* Stuttgart ist kein schlechter Platz, um über Ostpolitik und Geschichtsbewußtsein in Deutschland zu reden. Hier, in der Stadt und im Land ringsum, gibt es viele Zeugnisse und Erinnerungen, die dazu verführen könnten, mein Thema in der württembergischen Landesgeschichte sozusagen aufzuheben - ich möchte nicht sagen: im Hegeischen Ver­ stande, denn das hieße, den Lokalpatriotismus übertreiben. Zu denken wäre vorab an die, die im 18. und 19. Jahrhundert als bäuerliche Kolonisten, Handwerker, Gelehrte, auch als Soldaten nach dem Osten und Südosten gingen. Zu denken wäre an die Kathari- nenstraßen, die Olgastraßen, Olgahöhen, Olgahaine, die Württemberg noch heute überziehen - Spuren aus einer Zeit, in der Stuttgart noch Prinzessinnen aus Rußland be­ zog und zwei von ihnen gar zu Königinnen machte: Ostpolitik als Heiratspolitik, in die Familiengeschichte der Herrscherhäuser eingelassen. Und eine Kaiserin aus Württem­ berg gab es in Rußland natürlich auch: Marija Fjodorovna, Prinzessin Sophie Dorothée, Tochter des Herzogs Friedrich Eugen, Gemahlin des unglücklichen Kaisers Paul, Mut­ ter zweier Zaren, Alexanders I. und Nikolajs L, Mutter auch der württembergischen Königin Katharina, die als Gemahlin Wilhelms I. nach Stuttgart kam1. Ungleich wichtiger aber wäre, das liberale Württemberg in Erinnerung zu rufen, Württemberg im Vormärz als Zentrum deutscher Polenschwärmerei und Russen­ angst. Die russischen Diplomaten und Agenten damals in Stuttgart kannten die auf­ sässigen Köpfe im Lande genau, auch verdächtige Professoren und Studenten der Tü­ binger Universität, ja sie kannten sie mitunter besser, als es der hiesigen Polizei eigentlich hätte lieb sein dürfen. Und später dann waren sogar die neuen, die im We- berschen Sinn modernen Revolutionäre hier: Lenins berühmtes Pamphlet „Was tun?" erschien in russischer Sprache 1902 im Stuttgarter Verlag von J.W.

Jarausch) My dissertation “Rethinking Modern German History: Critical Social History as a Transatlantic Enterprise, 1945-1989” analyzes the intellectual exchange between German and American historians from the end of World War II to the 1980s. Several factors fostered the development of this scholarly community: growing American interest in Germany (a result of both National Socialism and the Cold War); a small but increasingly influential cohort of émigré historians researching and teaching in the United States; and the appeal of American academia to West German historians of different generations, but primarily to those born between 1930 and 1940. Within this transatlantic intellectual community, I am particularly concerned with a group of West German social historians known as the “Bielefeld School” who proposed to re-conceptualize history as Historical Social Science (Historische Sozialwissenschaft). Adherents of Historical Social Science in the 1960s and early 1970s also strove for a critical analysis of the roots of National Socialism. Their challenge of the West German historical profession was therefore both interpretive and methodological.

  • The New History of World War I and What It Means for International
    The New History of World War I The New History of Keir A. Lieber World War I and What It Means for International Relations Theory Nearly a century after the outbreak of World War I, the image of European statesmen sliding into a war that nobody wanted seems ªxed in the popular imagination. The 1914 analogy is conveyed in David Lloyd George’s classic statement that “the na- tions slithered over the brink into the boiling cauldron of war without any trace of apprehension or dismay”; Barbara Tuchman’s memorable description of leaders who “attempted to back away but the pull of military schedules dragged them forward”; Henry Kissinger’s conclusion that “nation after na- tion slid into a war whose causes they did not understand but from which they could not extricate themselves”; and a recent Wall Street Journal column com- paring contemporary international relations to a time when everyone was “poised on the edge of an abyss that nobody saw coming.”1 World War I looms large in international relations theory. The view that the war was in some signiªcant degree unintended or undesired helped to inspire the concept of the security dilemma and drove related work on spiral model dynamics and offense-defense variables.2 To be sure, the current consensus Keir A. Lieber is Assistant Professor of Political Science at the University of Notre Dame. The author thanks Meredith Bowers, Charles Glaser, Brian Greenhill, Rose Kelanic, Elizabeth Kier, Robert Lieber, Daniel Lindley, Jonathan Mercer, Benjamin Riddleberger, Sebastian Rosato, Jack Snyder, Jeffrey Wolf, the anonymous reviewers, and seminar participants at the University of Chi- cago Program on International Politics, Economics, and Security, and the University of Washing- ton International Security Colloquium for helpful comments on previous drafts of this article.

  • The Causes of World War I
    The Causes of World War I by Patrick Alessandra The historiography of the causes of World War One has always been a field fraught with conflict. The political implications of where to place the blame in the aftermath of the war, and the sheer scale of the conflict have caused many a historian to put forth their own interpretations of why The Great War began that fateful summer in 1914. The historiography of World War I has fluctuated from blaming Germany, to the idea that the war was a horrible accident, to blaming Austria-Hungary's ethnic tensions, to more holistic views that take into account the millions of individual factors involved in modern times. Like so many areas of history, the causes of World War I are a source of endless contention for historians. One of the biggest schools of thought in regards to the causes of World War I is exemplified by the writing of Fritz Fischer. In his book Germany’s Aims in In The First World War first published in Germany in 1961, Fritz Fischer makes the case that The Great War was largely the responsibilit y of Germany. He paints a picture of ever escalating European tension fueled by Germany’s angling for increased resources and status.1 He emphasized the German antagonism with France as central to Germany’s approach to general European war, which Germany saw as inevitable. In fact according to Fischer, the German leadership felt it needed a war to maintain Germany's status as a great power.2 World War I happened because Germany needed it, and her statesmen and generals forced it to explode, out of fears of a rising Russia and a scheming France.3 In contrast to this Germany centric view, A.

  • Antisemitism in Tourist Facilities in Weimar Germany Jacob Borut
    Antisemitism in Tourist Facilities in Weimar Germany Jacob Borut Research about antisemitism in Germany was recently given a boost by Daniel Goldhagen’s Hitler’s Willing Executioners. Goldhagen’s claim that a radical, “eliminationist” antisemitism was a constant feature of modern German history was accepted as a challenge by many historians who oppose his views. In response to his assertion that German antisemitism was constant and unchanging, leading in a direct path to Auschwitz, historians scrutinized the various manifestations of Jew-hatred in different periods, attempting to show that its level was not constant and that radical antisemitism was not widespread in German society at all times. The study of antisemitism thus came to be part of the long debate about continuity in German history, about the question whether the Third Reich was the final link in a chain of developments that led directly to it, or was a break in German history, an accident, a Betriebsunfall. That debate broke out into the open in Germany in the early 1960s, with the controversy about Fritz Fischer’s book Griff nach der Weltmacht. Fischer claimed that German politics prior to and during World War I had common characteristics with Nazi politics, and Nazi rule was a logical consequence of previous German history.1 His book aroused the stormy indignation of most German historians at the time. Since then, German historians have become less defensive about their past; nevertheless, that debate seems to rise time and again, in various forms, to the forefront of German historiography. In that sense, the dispute surrounding Goldhagen is yet one more manifestation.

    Paths to Empire: The Production and Mobilization of Historical Narratives by Baltic German Émigrés, 1905-1918 by ERIKS EDUARDS BREDOVSKIS B.A. (Hons.) the University of Toronto, 2014. A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS in THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE AND POSTDOCTORAL STUDIES (History) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) June 2016 © Eriks Eduards Bredovskis, 2016 Abstract This thesis examines how Baltic German émigrés living in the German Empire argued for the inclusion of the Baltic Provinces of the Russian Empire (Estland, Kurland, and Livland) into the Kaiserreich. At the start of the twentieth century, Baltic German intellectuals took up academic positions at universities in Germany. Embittered by their previous experience of Russification in the 1880s and then surrounded by a German nationalist academic and political environment, they produced numerous histories of Russia and the Baltic Provinces, which underscored the region’s Germanness and its perceived trajectory away from a German national teleology. World War One was a crucial moment in the development of these narratives as now there was a possibility of actually acquiring these provinces. This thesis argues that Balten narratives of eastern Europe demanded the incorporation of the Baltic Provinces into the German Empire through the construction of a specific historical narrative about Germany’s role in eastern Europe. These narratives were informed by existing German conceptions of history—particularly those propagated by Heinrich von Treitschke—and from other nineteenth-century discourses of empire—in particular the domestication of “wild” spaces and the “civilizing mission.” Their narratives can be understood as a form of “the civilizing mission,” which mobilized the concept of Kulturboden—the understanding that specific spaces (soils) had become Germanized over time.

  • The Stormtrooper Family
    THE STORMTROOPER FAMILY : HOW SEXUALITY , S PIRITUALITY , AND COMMUNITY SHAPED THE HAMBURG SA A Dissertation submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences of Georgetown University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History By Andrew Wackerfuss, M.A. Washington, DC December 15, 2008 Copyright 2008 by Andrew Wackerfuss All Rights Reserved ii THE STORMTROOPER FAMILY : HOW SEXUALITY , SPIRITUALITY , AND COMMUNITY SHAPED THE HAMBURG SA Andrew Wackerfuss, M.A. Thesis Advisor: Roger Chickering, Ph.D. ABSTRACT The dissertation explains the attraction of the stormtroopers ( Sturmabteilung ; SA), the Nazis’ paramilitary band of “political soldiers” in the city of Hamburg. It argues that social networks and personal relationships – including family ties, religious affiliations, and sexual bonds among stormtroopers – represented the primary means of recruiting and integrating new members into the Nazi movement. The SA emphasized the social, emotional, and political benefits that young men could accrue by joining the group, which established an array of social welfare systems during the dismal days of the depression. In return for food and housing, male camaraderie, a sense of ersatz family, and the promise of social and economic integration into the local community, young stormtroopers became the Party’s foot soldiers. SA pubs and barracks were simultaneously places of refuge and sites of violence, where the stormtroopers were taught to strive for a sacrificial death that Party propagandists could use to argue for Nazi heroism, Communist criminality, and republican inability to maintain order in the German state. Hamburg’s stormtroopers claimed to defend their communities and families.

    German Historical Institute London BULLETIN ISSN 0269-8552 Annika Mombauer: The Fischer Controversy Fifty Years On Conference Report German Historical Institute London Bulletin, Vol 34, No. 1 (May 2012), pp169-175 Copyright © 2012 German Historical Institute London. All rights reserved. The Fischer Controversy Fifty Years On. International conference sup - ported by the German Historical Institute London, the Journal of Con - temporary History, the Open University, the Alfred Toepfer Stiftung, and the Ger man History Society and held at the GHIL, 13–15 Oct. 2011. Con veners: Annika Mombauer (Open University), John Röhl (Sussex), and Hartmut Pogge von Strandmann (Oxford). In October 2011, an international conference was held at the GHIL to mark the publication, fifty years ago, of a book which would spark one of the most heated historiographical debates of the twentieth century. In his 900-page study Griff nach der Weltmacht (the later English translation less provocatively entitled Ger many’s Aims in the First World War), the German historian Fritz Fischer argued that Germany had expansionist war aims in 1914, had pursued these war aims continuously throughout the war, and that Germany bore a con- siderable (erheblich) amount of responsibility for the outbreak of the First World War. These audacious assertions turn ed on their head a comfortable consensus in Germany which had existed since the late 1920s, rejecting the war-guilt allegations made by the victorious allies at Versailles in 1919. After the Second World War, for whose out- break German responsibility was not in question, revisiting the caus- es of the First World War seemed unnecessarily soul-searching, and, moreover, pol it ically unwise in the 1960s.
