  • Italy at War, 1915-1918*
    Italy at War, 1915-1918* Francesco L. Galassi University of Warwick and Università di Ferrara and Mark Harrison University of Warwick * This paper appeared as a chapter in The Economics of World War I, pp. 276-309. Edited by Stephen Broadberry and Mark Harrison. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 2005.Particular thanks for assistance with bibliographic information and research are owed to Alessandro Massignani and to Lieutenant Vettannio of the Historical Archive of the Army General Staff, Rome. The usual disclaimers apply. 1. Introduction Italy had long nursed the ambition to complete its national unification by annexing the territories held by Austria around Trento and Trieste before the Great War. Yet Italy’s diplomacy and armed forces reached war unprepared. It will be argued in this chapter that this reflected international constraints as well as domestic political and social forces before 1914, and it will shown how these influenced the Italian war effort. As an economic power Italy is most easily compared with the Habsburg Empire, her chief adversary in World War I. These two powers were both economically of middle size and development level, but the Italian economy was a little smaller and also somewhat more developed than the Austro-Hungarian. Thus Italy’s prewar population numbered 36 millions compared with Austria-Hungary’s 51 millions while Italy’s real GDP was roughly 90 per cent of Austria-Hungary’s. Thus the average citizen of the Austro-Hungarian empire was roughly 25 per cent poorer than the average Italian (see chapter 1, tables 1 and 2). In turn, Italians were substantially poorer than the Germans, French, or British.

I can’t say that I am enjoying myself out here. It’s awfully hot, and we are eaten up by millions of flies. Life in the trenches is not a picnic either we have about four or five days out of them and eight or nine in them. When we are out supposed to be resting, we have to go on working parties, digging etc., then wherever we are, we are always under shell fire, so it’s not much rest after all.

The boat bears the name "Straithanirn." Event and Historical Information: The “STRATHNAIRN” was a steel-hulled steamship built by A Rodger & Co, Port Glasgow, in 1909. The ship was transporting 7,000 tons of coal from Penarth to Archangel under the command of master J N Browne when it was torpedoed by U22 at 9.30 pm on 15 June 1915. The force of the blast burst the ship's steam boiler and the ship itself soon began to list to port. The ship's four lifeboats were immediately swung out, but with the ship still having for- ward momentum, the first lifeboat was smashed against the ship's sides.

  • M2089 Selected German Documents from the Records of the Naval
    M2089 SELECTED GERMAN DOCUMENTS FROM THE RECORDS OF THE NAVAL RECORDS COLLECTION OF THE OFFICE OF NAVAL RECORDS AND LIBRARY, 1897–1917 Timothy P. Mulligan prepared the Introduction and arranged these records for microfilming. National Archives and Records Administration Washington, DC 2006 INTRODUCTION On the four rolls of this microfilm publication, M2089, are reproduced the contents of 34 logbooks and other bound volumes of original German Navy and merchant marine records located among the Naval Records Collection of the Office of Naval Records and Library, 1897–1917, Record Group (RG) 45. The materials reproduced here constitute a part of those original German documents approved for restitution to the Bundesarchiv following the latter’s request and subsequent negotiations with the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA). For these German documents, microfilm publication M2089 represents the record copy retained by NARA. BACKGROUND President John Adams authorized the establishment of the Navy Department Library on March 31, 1800. Originally a component of the Office of the Secretary of the Navy, the Navy Department Library was transferred by Navy Department General Order 292 on March 23, 1882, to the newly established Office of Naval Intelligence. There an unofficial adjunct staff to the Library, designated the Naval War Records Office, came into being in 1882 to compile for publication selected documents on naval aspects of the Civil War. On July 7, 1884, the Naval War Records Office and the Navy Department Library were formally consolidated by the Naval Appropriation Act (23. Stat. 185) into the Office of Library and Naval War Records. In October 1889 the Office was returned to the Office of the Secretary of the Navy, and assumed custody of the pre-1886 office files of the Secretary of the Navy.
