The Luxemburg Question at the Paris Peace Conference and After
THE LUXEMBURG QUESTION AT THE PARIS PEACE CONFERENCE AND AFTER by Sally MARKS At the Paris peace conference of 1919, the French and, to a lesser extent, the British considered the several questions concerning the western frontier of Germany as a single problem but historians have never done so, perhaps because work upon these questions at the conference was administratively scattered. There has been some historical examination of the minor territorial transfers from Ger- many to Belgium and exhaustive analysis of the Saar and Rhineland settlements but no attention whatsoever to the fourth piece of the puzzle, the problem of Luxemburg. British diplomatists at the con- ference well realized the potential connection between the Luxem- burg settlement and that of the Saar, while Belgian leaders were pain- fully aware of its relationship to the Rhineland regime but historians, for all their intensive study of the voluminous documentation of the conference, have neglected to trace the British failure to link the Luxemburg question to the other German frontier problems and the consequences of this failure. The oversight has probably occured be- cause Luxemburg's fate was ultimately, to the relief of the French and the dismay of senior British officials, examined independently of all other considerations and because most of the interest in Luxem- burg at the conference was generated by the Belgians who of course looked at the problem from a purely Belgian point of view. The chief Belgian objective at the peace conference was extensive revision of the 1839 treaties which had defined Belgium's borders and her international status. -
Verdraagzaamheid En Pragmatische Samenwerking in De Vlaamse Beweging
august vermeylen en hugo verriest 207 Verdraagzaamheid en pragmatische samenwerking in de Vlaamse beweging. Hugo Verriest en August Vermeylen 1895-1914. Deel 3 romain vanlandschoot hoogtepunt 1910-1914 Een tussentijdse polemiek en een merkwaardig stilzwijgen In de herfst van 1909 leek een rustpauze te komen in de samenwerking tussen Vermeylen en Verriest. Teksten en correspondentie zijn in 1910 niet veel te bespeu- ren. Maar voor de pastoor van Ingooigem draaide de carrousel van voordrachten onverstoorbaar verder. Een daarvan leidde in dat jaar tot een kortsluiting met een deel van de vrijzinnigen. In het kader van de Brusselse Wereldtentoonstelling werd een reeks voordrachten geprogrammeerd, net zoals in Luik in 1905. Hugo Verriest kreeg de uitnodiging om in aanwezigheid van koning Albert i en koningin Elisabeth een toespraak te houden over de betekenis van de Vlaamse letterkunde. Via welke kanalen de uitnodiging is verstuurd, valt niet meer te achterhalen, maar het is meer dan plausibel dat de Koninklijke Academie en de Vereeniging van Vlaamsche Letterkundigen (vvl) een adviserende rol gespeeld hebben. Bovendien werden de Franstalige letterkundigen voorgesteld door Emile Verhaeren.210 De ideologische verdeelsleutel had gewerkt. De katholieke Vlaamse priester Hugo Verriest kon dus als tweede spreken. Uit de recente monumentale biografie van Paul Servaes, gewijd aan Emile Verhaeren, valt een en ander op te maken aangaande deze aangelegenheid. Deze feestelijke bijeenkomst was het gevolg van de profileringsdrang van Edmond Picard, die ijverde voor een officiële erkenning van een (Franstalige) schrijversvereniging, waarin Emile Verhaeren een hoofdrol zou spelen, maar ook van de groeiende vriendschappelijke 210.

DANIEL LAQUA1 BELGIAN INTERNATIONALISTS, THE GREAT WAR AND THE QUEST FOR PEACE In 1932, Henri Pirenne – widely renowned for his work on medieval towns – published the final part of his Histoire de Belgique. The first instalment of his magnum opus had appeared more than three decades earlier and tackled a period long before Belgium’s independent statehood, from Antiquity to end of the High Middle Ages2. It was only with volume VII that Pirenne finally reached the era since the Belgian Revolution of 1830. The account drew a wider picture of the country before the First World War. -

Obligation and Self-Interest in the Defence of Belgian Neutrality, 1830-1870 Frederik Dhondt1 Introduction ‘we are less complacent than the Swiss, and would not take treaty violations so lightly.’ Baron de Vrière to Sylvain Van de Weyer, Brussels, 28 June 18592 Neutrality is one of the most controversial issues in public international law3 and international relations history.4 Its remoteness from the United Nations system of collective security has rendered its discussion less topical.5 The significance of contemporary self-proclaimed ‘permanent neutrality’ is limited. 6 Recent scholarship has taken up the theme as a general narrative of nineteenth century international relations: between the Congress of Vienna and the Great War, neutrality was the rule, rather than the exception.7 In intellectual history, Belgium’s neutral status is seen as linked to the rise of the ‘Gentle Civilizer of Nations’ at the end of the nineteenth century.8 International lawyers’ and politicians’ activism brought three Noble Peace Prizes (August Beernaert, International Law Institute, Henri La Fontaine). The present contribution focuses on the permanent or compulsory nature of Belgian neutrality in nineteenth century diplomacy, from the country’s inception (1830-1839)9 to the Franco- 1 Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB), University of Antwerp, Ghent University/Research Foundation Flanders. -

Les Émeutes De Novembre 1871 À Bruxelles Et La Revocation Du Ministère D'anethan
RBHC-BTNG, XV, 1984, 1-2, pp. 165-200. LES EMEUTES DE NOVEMBRE 1871 A BRUXELLES ET LA REVOCATION DU MINISTERE D'ANETHAN par Ph. J. VAN TIGGELEN Aspirant au F.N.R.S. En octobre 1871, l'ancien ministre Pierre De Decker est nommé gouverneur du Limbourg. Celui-ci avait été un proche collaborateur du financier André Langrand-Dumonceau, dont la faillite frauduleuse avait entraîné la ruine de milliers de familles. Cette nomination four- nit à l'opposition libérale et en particulier au député Jules Bara, le prétexte d'une offensive contre le ministère catholique du baron d'Anethan. Le 22 novembre, Bara interpelle le gouvernement au sujet de cette nomination. L'attention politique se trouve focalisée sur les séances houleuses de la Chambre des Représentants. Simultanément, des manifestations ont lieu dans les rues de Bruxelles et se répètent dans les derniers jours de novembre. Le 1er décembre 1871, Leopold II, excédé par les troubles journa- liers qui se produisaient à la Chambre des Représentants et sous les fenêtres du Palais, décide de révoquer ses ministres et fait appel au comte de Theux pour constituer un nouveau gouvernement dans la majorité. Les événements de novembre 1871 et la chute du ministère d'Anethan, évoqués de manière toujours ponctuelle dans les grandes synthèses de l'histoire politique de la Belgique, n'ont fait l'objet d'aucune recherche spécifique. Les études d'histoire politique parues durant les dernières années, tout comme les monographies d'histoire bruxelloise, se réfèrent, sur ce point, aux ouvrages plus anciens qui fondent leur argumentation sur des 'Vérités historiques" souvent douteuses (1). -
AN UPHILL BATTLE Campaigning for the Militarization of Belgium, 1870-1914
AN UPHILL BATTLE Campaigning for the Militarization of Belgium, 1870-1914 - Nel de Mûelenaere - Belgium plays a minor role, if it is mentioned at all, in the annals of the previously unparalleled European militarization that led to the First World War. This article presents a more nuanced image of Belgium as a non-militarized state during these decades, by focusing on the attempts of the militaristic political lobby to expand Belgium’s military infrastructure. Between 1870 and 1914, Belgium was indeed the scene of an intense militaristic movement that, despite its high level of activism, quickly fell into oblivion. At the start of their campaigns, in which the main goal was the adoption of personal military service, the militaristic lobbyists were primarily military or ex-military functionaries. The main motivation for their campaign was improving the sense of military purpose that acted as a preparation for war. This changed fundamentally throughout the campaigns. The militarists steadily built up a civilian network and expanded their influence. This was a key factor in the successful dissemination of the idea that a reformed Belgian army was very much needed in order to avert external dangers. At the same time, civilian influence altered the militarists’ view of the societal role of the military. This reciprocal influence reduced the gap between the military and civilian worlds, and suggests the presence of under- acknowledged militarization processes in Belgium prior to World War One. 145 Campaigning for the Militarization of Belgium I.

PATHS TO SUCCESS, PATHS TO FAILURE: HISTORICAL TRAJECTORIES TO DEMOCRATIC STABILITY By ADAM BILINSKI A DISSERTATION PRESENTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA 2015 1 © 2015 Adam Bilinski 2 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Throughout the work on this project, I received enormous help from a number of people. The indispensable assistance was provided by my advisor Michael Bernhard, who encouraged me to work on the project since I arrived at the University of Florida. He gave me valuable and timely feedback, and his wide knowledge of the European political history and research methods proved irreplaceable in this regard. He is otherwise a warm, humble and an understanding person, a scholar who does not mind and even appreciates when a graduate student is critical toward his own ideas, which is a feature whose value cannot be overestimated. I received also valuable assistance from members of my dissertation committee: Benjamin Smith, Leonardo A. Villalon, Beth Rosenson and Chris Gibson. In particular, Ben Smith taught me in an accessible way about the foundational works in Political Science, which served as an inspiration to write this dissertation, while Chris Gibson offered very useful feedback on quantitative research methods. In addition, I received enormous help from two scholars at the University of Chicago, where this research project passed through an adolescent stage. Dan Slater, my advisor, and Alberto Simpser helped me transform my incoherent hypotheses developed in Poland into a readable master’s thesis, which I completed in 2007. -
