  • Microfilm Publication M617, Returns from U.S
    Publication Number: M-617 Publication Title: Returns from U.S. Military Posts, 1800-1916 Date Published: 1968 RETURNS FROM U.S. MILITARY POSTS, 1800-1916 On the 1550 rolls of this microfilm publication, M617, are reproduced returns from U.S. military posts from the early 1800's to 1916, with a few returns extending through 1917. Most of the returns are part of Record Group 94, Records of the Adjutant General's Office; the remainder is part of Record Group 393, Records of United States Army Continental Commands, 1821-1920, and Record Group 395, Records of United States Army Overseas Operations and Commands, 1898-1942. The commanding officer of every post, as well ad commanders of all other bodies of troops such as department, division, brigade, regiment, or detachment, was required by Army Regulations to submit a return (a type of personnel report) to The Adjutant General at specified intervals, usually monthly, on forms provided by that office. Several additions and modifications were made in the form over the years, but basically it was designed to show the units that were stationed at a particular post and their strength, the names and duties of the officers, the number of officers present and absent, a listing of official communications received, and a record of events. In the early 19th century the form used for the post return usually was the same as the one used for regimental or organizational returns. Printed forms were issued by the Adjutant General’s Office, but more commonly used were manuscript forms patterned after the printed forms.

  • History of FOOTBALL World Cup History of FOOTBALL
    History of FOOTBALL World Cup History of FOOTBALL World Cup The FIFA World Cup was first held in 1930, when FIFA president Jules Rimet decided to stage an international football tournament. The inaugural edition, held in 1930, was contested as a final tournament of only thirteen teams invited by the organization. Since then, the World Cup has experienced successive expansions and format remodeling to its current 32-team final tournament preceded by a two-year qualifying process, involving over 200 teams from around the world. The first official international football match was played in 1872 in Glasgow between Scotland and England, although at this stage the sport was rarely played outside Great Britain. By 1900, however, football had gained ground all around the world and national football associations were being founded. The first official international match outside the British Isles was played between Uruguay and Argentina in Montevideo in July 1902. FIFA was founded in Paris on 22 May 1904 – comprising football associations from France, Belgium (the preceding two teams having played their first international against each other earlier in the month), Denmark, the Netherlands, Spain, Sweden and Switzerland, with Germany pledging to join. FIFA (Federation International of Football Association) FIFA (Federation International of Football Association) is the international governing body of association football, futsal and beach soccer. It is one of the world's oldest and largest NGOs, being founded on 21 May 1904. It has since expanded to include 209 member associations. President of FIFA - Gianni Infantino of Switzerland / Italy from 2016 to at present. General Secretary - Fatma Samoura of Senegal from 2016 to at present.

  • This Is a Side-Hill Park, Lying in Front of the Kew York Uni- Versity, and It Was Partially Cleaned up and a Road Built Through It During the Year R 901
    UNIVERSITY PARK. (Area, 3 acres; acquired in 1901.) This is a side-hill park, lying in front of the Kew York Uni- versity, and it was partially cleaned up and a road built through it during the year r 901. During the present year a new retain- ing-wall has been built along the whole westerly side of this park 628 feet in length, and all of the ground throughout this park has been cleaned; the westerly bank has been graded and sloped to meet the wall; both ends of the park, which had not been cleared before, have been cleaned up; all the old boulders removed, and the intersections of the drives and the west slope have been planted ~vitIishrubs. The road has been resurfaced, drains repaired, and new di-ains made where needed. (Area, 12 acres; acquired in 1901.) Kothing was done to this park previous to the present year in the way of development, and the same had been cofiplained of as exceedingly unhealthy, on account of the lack of drainage, stagnant water remaining there during a large portion of the year. Early in the present season this park was thoroughly underdrained, and connections made with a sewer which passes through One Hundred and Ninety-second street, requiring the building of over 2,000 lineal feet of vitrified pipe and stone drains. One Hundred and Ninety-second street has been constructed across the park from Jerome avenue to Creston avenue, a distance of 660 feet. 2,880 lineal feet of rubble walks have been laid. In the building of the road and the grading of the park, where old open drains existed, several thousand loads of material have been used.

  • Heinrich Cunow
    Chapter Nine ‘American Expansionist Policy in East Asia’ (June–July 1902) Heinrich Cunow 1. Early American expansionism1 The conquests of Cuba, Puerto Rico and the Philip- pines are always described in tracts dealing with American imperialism as a new turn, representing a break with the old traditions of American policy. If one understands by imperialism a policy of expan- sion dictated by capitalist interests, this view does not quite hold water. Shortly after its ‘liberation’, as soon as it felt its strength growing, the Union began attempts to expand its territory by all possible means – not only through annexation of territories that remained outside the confederation but also through diplomatic intrigues, the purchase of large areas, military provocations and even filibustering expe- ditions undertaken in peaceful times. The purchase of Louisiana – which then included the Mississippi basin and Missouri – from France for 15 million dol- lars was followed by the purchase of Florida in 1819, skilfully exploiting Spain’s distress, and by the first preparations for the conquest of Cuba. The Pearl of the Antilles aroused the Yankees’ exploitative instincts not just recently, but already back then. 1. [Cunow 1902. The subtitles have been added by the editors of this volume.] 196 • Heinrich Cunow In 1823, the then Secretary of State, John Quincy Adams, wrote to the Ameri- can minister at Madrid: ‘It seems scarcely possible to resist the conviction that the annexation of Cuba to our Federal Republic will be indispensable to the continuance and

  • Theodore Roosevelt and the Philippine Insurrection John Davenport
    7 Theodore Roosevelt and the Philippine Insurrection John Davenport In our history, perhaps no single armed conflict has touched the collective soul of the American people as deeply as the war in Vietnam. In what became a multimedia event, the war in Indochina presented American soldiers in a new light. For the first time, it was thought, our troops were fighting a war of aggression, a war for empire. This empire however, was not a product of the 1960s, nor was it the denouement of the post-World War II realignment. Long before young soldiers found themselves fighting for their lives in places such as Khe Sanh and Da Nang, other young Americans had fought this nation’s first imperial war in Asia -- the Philippine Insurrection. From 1899-1902, the United States fought to extinguish the flame of independence which had flared in the Philippines following the defeat of Spain in the Spanish-American War. An aggressive newcomer on the imperial stage, America was a nation which had cut its teeth on a patrimony of “manifest destiny.” For many people in the United States, freedom and liberty emanated from our shores. Counted among this number was the energetic young governor from New York, Theodore Roosevelt. From his earliest appearance in the public limelight, Roosevelt expressed an abiding belief in the superiority of western culture and the rectitude of Western expansion, particularly the American variant. This belief shaped his personal and life profoundly and affected his conduct as President of the United States. Nowhere is this evinced more clearly than in his conduct of the American war in the Philippines between his assumption of power in 1901, and his declaration of the islands’ pacification in July 1902.
