  • November 1919, Also Carried Christmas Greetings. It Reached Ned Milburn Together Died on the Afternoon of 29 December 1919
    Book Reviews to the splendid Lawrence Reynolds Historical Library in the Birmingham Medical Centre and the cordiality of its custodian, Mrs. Martha Lou Thomas. This volume traces the life of Osler through this refreshing and friendly corres- pondence. The first letter, when Osler was fifteen years of age, is dated 10 January 1865. It was written from Dundas to Milburn at Oakville because the Christmas vacation had separated them. The last, written from 13 Norham Gardens on 25 November 1919, also carried Christmas greetings. It reached Ned Milburn together with a cheque two or three days before Christmas-a fateful Christmas since Osler died on the afternoon of 29 December 1919. This lifetime span enables us to retread Osler's triumphant progress from Barrie Grammar School to Trinity College Grammar School, Weston, where he became head prefect and excelled in the school sports; to a Dickson Scholarship at Trinity College, Toronto in 1867; and thereafter to the Toronto Medical School for a short spell. He entered McGill in 1870, graduated in 1872, and joined the medical faculty in 1874, first as a lecturer and soon as professor. Then came letters in turn from 131 South 15th Street, Philadelphia, 1 West Franklin Street, Baltimore, and finally Norham Gardens, Oxford. The earliest Oxford letters came from 7 Norham Gardens, a temporary abode until the Oslers moved into No. 13, which became known as 'The Open Arms'. Along the road, there are holiday letters from Llandulas, North Wales, and picture postcards from Cairo, the Upper Nile and Sorrento. This is a treasure-house of Osleriana-his letters, examples of his handwriting and photographs of him-so there is something for everyone, whether he loves the aura or detests the myth surrounding this great personality.

The Impact of the 1918-1919 Influenza Epidemic on Virginia By Stephanie Forrest Barker Master of Arts in History, University of Richmond, 2002 R. Barry Westin, Thesis Director In the fall of 1918 an unparalleled influenza pandemic spread throughout the world. More than a quarter of Americans became ill, and at least 600,000 died. For many Virginians, this was a time of acute crisis that only could be compared to the days of the Civil War. This thesis describes Spanish influenza's impact on Virginia, primarily focusing on the cities of Newport News, Richmond, and Roanoke. It details influenza's emergence in Virginia and explores how state and city officials dealt with this unprecedented epidemic. This study examines how the epidemic disrupted daily routines of life and overwhelmed the state's medical community. This thesis briefly discusses the effect that the segregation of races had on the spread of influenza and the role that women played in battling the epidemic.

    Full Spectrum Contrasts in Independence March 1st and Plan PATRIOT by Charles H. Briscoe Korean Independence, 1 March 1919 On 22 August 1910, Japan formally annexed Korea, ending the Chosŏn dynasty. General Terauchi Masatake became the first governor-general of Korea and Japanese minister of armed forces. Religion was the only organized activity permitted by the Japanese military government. During the Paris Peace Conference in January 1919, President Woodrow Wilson promulgated self-determination for oppressed peoples everywhere. Though Korean nationalists applied, attendance was denied to Dr. Syngman Rhee, head of the North American Korean delegation and to the exiled New Korea Youth Party representative who carried a petition for independence. However, Korean university intellectuals and students at home were not deterred by the rebuffs Independence Proclamation signatories gathered in a Seoul and appealed to religious leaders for support.1 teahouse on 1 March 1919 to sign the document. This watercolor depicts the clashes between Korean citizens and Japanese military and police after the Independence Proclamation was made public. Vol. 8 No. 1 68 Thus, on 1 March 1919, Son Pyŏnghi read the Proclamation of Independence in Pagoda Park, Seoul. Secretly authored by poet Ch’oe Namsŏn, the proclamation had been signed by thirty-one Christian, Ch’ŏndogyo, and Buddhist leaders. The signatories and students that had rallied a crowd were quickly arrested and interrogated. Nonviolent demonstrations spread like wildfire throughout Korea as did the simple mantra, “Mansei (Long live) Korean independence!” The gatherings prompted Japanese authorities to respond and violence escalated. After six weeks more than 7,000 Koreans were dead, another 15,000 injured, and 40,000 imprisoned.2 The “March 1 Movement” spawned no less than five provisional governments in Seoul, Vladivostok, and Shanghai.

  • Woodrow Wilson (November 10, 1923) Added to the National Registry: 2004 Essay by Richard Striner (Guest Post)*
    Armistice Day broadcast--Woodrow Wilson (November 10, 1923) Added to the National Registry: 2004 Essay by Richard Striner (guest post)* Woodrow Wilson Woodrow Wilson’s Armistice Day Speech in Perspective Woodrow Wilson’s radio address on November 10, 1923--on the eve of Armistice Day--must certainly stand as one of the most poignant and in some ways prophetic speeches of his life. It must also stand as one of the most ironic, or so it might be argued. Wilson had only a few months to live when he delivered the address. His life ebbing away, he told the American people that the happy memories of that November day in 1918 when the guns fell silent--the day on which the horrific slaughter of World War One at last came to an end-- would be “forever marred and embittered for us by the shameful fact that . we turned our backs on our associates and refused to bear any responsible part in the administration of the peace.” Wilson was referring to the fact that the United States had not joined the League of Nations. Even so, said Wilson, there was reason to hope that America would come to its senses over time and eventually shoulder the burdens of global leadership. “The whole field of international relations is in perilous confusion,” Wilson argued, but that very situation opened up a chance for the United States to resolve “to put self-interest away and once more formulate and act on the highest ideals and purposes of international policy.” Of course Wilson’s vision would not come true in any meaningful way until the “perilous confusion” of world affairs had degenerated by the 1930s into global fascist aggression that led to a direct attack upon the United States at Pearl Harbor in 1941.

The war’s long-term effects were so devastating that it is fair to say no clear dividing-line separates the war itself from the post-war period; nearly 10 million men died, in other words, one in seven of all soldiers; 21 million were wounded; millions of widows, orphans and other grieving relatives were left behind to mourn their dead. The war’s aftermath produced countless human tragedies; nearly every family continued to feel the emotional and psychological effects for years to come.1 To take the single year of 1919 and consider it as a specific historical subject in its own right thus constitutes another way to question traditional chronology, which tends to view the Armistice of 11 November 1918 and the subsequent peace treaties as the two decisive markers in the return to peace. In reality, 1919 constitutes at most a step – but only a step – in what historians now call ‘the transition from war to peace’, in French, la sortie de guerre. This term refers to a transition period of several years, characterised by the return home of soldiers and prisoners of war, the pacification of the belligerent nations and the far slower demobilisa- tion of minds and attitudes, or what is also called ‘cultural demobilisation’.2 This process was far from straightforward.

  • History of Veterans Day
    History of Veterans Day World War I – known at the time as “The Great War” - officially ended when the Treaty of Versailles was signed on June 28, 1919, in the Palace of Versailles outside the town of Versailles, France. However, fighting ceased seven months earlier when an armistice, or temporary cessation of hostilities, between the Allied nations and Germany went into effect on the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month. For that reason, November 11, 1918, is generally regarded as the end of “the war to end all wars.” Soldiers of the 353rd Infantry near a church at Stenay, Meuse in France, wait for the end of hostilities. This photo was taken at 10:58 a.m., on November 11, 1918, two minutes before the armistice ending World War I went into effect In November 1919, President Wilson proclaimed November 11 as the first commemoration of Armistice Day with the following words: "To us in America, the reflections of Armistice Day will be filled with solemn pride in the heroism of those who died in the country’s service and with gratitude for the victory, both because of the thing from which it has freed us and because of the opportunity it has given America to show her sympathy with peace and justice in the councils of the nations…" The original concept for the celebration was for a day observed with parades and public meetings and a brief suspension of business beginning at 11:00 a.m. The United States Congress officially recognized the end of World War I when it passed a concurrent resolution on June 4, 1926, with these
