Germany’s postwar domestic problems were exacerbated by international isolation, which included both economic and cultural blockades. While food shortages weakened the German population, the Allied scientific leaders barred German scientific and cultural institutions from the international community. An exception to Germany’s cultural isolation was in the field of medical science and public health. The universality of human biology trumped political polarization. In the immediate postwar years, major outbreaks of epidemic disease in Eastern Europe and Russia threatened Europe’s economic and political recovery. In order to counter a microbial invasion, Allied governments (primarily, the French and British) laid the foundations of the League of Nations Health Organization, the precursor to today’s World Health Organization. While Germany’s status as a pariah made its cooperation in the rise of international health difficult, German participation in the League of Nations Health Organization led to Germany’s involvement in international exchanges (well before Germany was a League member) and, ultimately, to the first instance of postwar Franco-German iii cultural reconciliation. Because it occurred during a time of deep Franco-German animosity and predated the ‘Spirit of Locarno’, Germany’s involvement in Allied-led international cooperation on health-matters presents an important connection between disease prevention and international politics. iv I dedicate this dissertation to those helpful and loving souls who remained ever supportive of me.

Who drove Germany’s cooperation with international health efforts between 1919 and 1927? Did the coordination of health policy influence German foreign policy away from isolation and towards reconciliation? Was international cooperation in public health a product or a cause of political rapprochement? This dissertation seeks to answer these questions. There is a lack of literature on the interaction between the rise of international health and Germany’s international rehabilitation after the First World War. Germany’s involvement with the international health movement was a significant exception to otherwise bitter Franco-German relations and Allied efforts to isolate Germany. Therefore this lacuna in the historiography of Weimar Germany and international relations of the 1920s is surprising. After the slaughter of the First World War had ended and the Treaty of Versailles ushered in an uneasy international order, Germany faced economic ruin, political upheaval, and the deterioration of the overall health of its population. Germany’s postwar domestic problems were exacerbated by international isolation, which included both economic and cultural blockades. While food shortages weakened 1 the German population, the Allied scientific leaders barred German scientific and cultural institutions from the international community. An exception to Germany’s cultural isolation was in the field of medical science and public health. The universality of human biology trumped political polarization. In the immediate postwar years, major outbreaks of epidemic disease in Eastern Europe and Russia threatened Europe’s economic and political recovery. In order to counter a microbial invasion, Allied governments (primarily, the French and British) laid the foundations of the League of Nations Health Organization (LNHO), the precursor to today’s World Health Organization. While Germany’s status as a pariah made its cooperation in the rise of international health difficult, German participation in the LNHO led to Germany’s involvement in international exchanges (well before Germany was a League member) and, ultimately, to the first instance of postwar Franco-German cultural reconciliation. Because it occurred during a time of deep Franco-German animosity and predated the ‘Spirit of Locarno’, Germany’s involvement in Allied-led international cooperation on health-matters presents questions about the connection between disease prevention and international politics. There is a wide range of literature that illustrates the fruitfulness of examining the role that epidemics and the responses to them have played on Europe’s political development since the Black Death.1 However, the literature that deals specifically 1 A few of the many books on the subject are J.N. Hays, The Burdens of Disease: Epidemics and Human Response in Western History (New Brunswick: Rutgers University Press, 1998), Peter Baldwin, Contagion and the State in Europe, 1830-1930 (Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 1998), Sheldon Watts, Epidemics and History: Disease, Power and 2 with the politics of health in Weimar Germany is infected with the tautological assumption of the inevitability of the Nazi seizure of power. Most notable in this vein is the work of the prolific historian Paul Weindling.2 In his most significant offering, Epidemics and Genocide, Weindling argues that German efforts to eradicate disease (mainly typhus) on the Eastern Front in World War I were a direct precursor to the Holocaust. Weindling’s argument presupposes the Machtergreifung and dismisses

  • Las Consecuencias De La Primera Guerra Mundial: El Paradigma De Checoslovaquia
    9 5 Las consecuencias de la Primera Guerra Mundial: el paradigma de Checoslovaquia The consequences of the First World War: Czechoslovakia’s paradigm Carlos Puente Martín* Resumen La Gran Guerra no fue la primera guerra europea de carácter mundial, pues en los siglos anteriores también se produjeron enfrentamientos entre potencias europeas cuyos escenarios bélicos tuvieron lugar en varios continentes. La particularidad de la Primera Guerra Mundial, y este es el objetivo del artículo, son las consecuencias que afectaron al equilibrio político en Europa, establecido en el Congreso de Viena tras las guerras napoleónicas, con la desaparición de cuatro imperios, el nacimiento de varios Estados en Europa Central, el fortalecimiento de la hegemonía de Estados Unidos y, por primera vez en la historia, la aparición de la ideología comunista en un Estado, que rompía con las normas establecidas. Por iniciativa del presidente Wilson, se establecería el sistema de seguridad de la Sociedad de Naciones, a la que Estados Unidos, paradójicamente, no pertenecería. No se examinan los actos militares que tuvieron lugar durante la contienda, utilizando revolucionarios medios de destrucción, ni tampoco el estudio de todos los acontecimientos políticos, sino analizar las causas de la guerra como objetivo que se plasmó en el Tratado de Versalles de 1919 y otros tratados asociados. Se quiere deducir, acudiendo a textos legales y relatos históricos, que los fines de la guerra estaban ya predeterminados. Fue una guerra de venganzas y reivindicaciones que traían causa en las guerras de Napoleón y en la Guerra Franco-Prusiana de 1871. Una consecuencia deseada era la desaparición del Imperio austro-húngaro y el establecimiento de un cordón sanitario en torno a la nueva ideología establecida en Rusia.

Tell us once, where you will begin. In a place where there are already Christians? or where there are none? Where there are Christians you come too late. The English, Dutch, Portuguese, and Spanish control a good part of the farthest seacoast. Where then? . In China only recently the Tartars mercilessly murdered the Christians and their preachers. Will you go there? Where then, you honest Germans? . Dear Justinian, stop dreaming, lest Satan deceive you in a dream! Admonition to Justinian von Weltz, Protestant missionary in Latin America, from Johann H. Ursinius, Lutheran Superintendent at Regensburg (1664)1 When China was ruled by the Han and Jin dynasties, the Germans were still living as savages in the jungles. In the Chinese Six Dynasties period they only managed to create barbarian tribal states. During the medieval Dark Ages, as war raged for a thousand years, the [German] people could not even read and write. Our China, however, that can look back on a unique five-thousand-year-old culture, is now supposed to take advice [from Germany], contrite and with its head bowed. What a shame! 2 KANG YOUWEI, “Research on Germany’s Political Development” (1906) Germans in Colonial Kiaochow,3 1897–1904 During the 1860s the Germans began discussing the possibility of obtaining a coastal entry point from which they could expand inland into China.

As the fortunes of war shifted, so did borders, populations and national allegiances. In a period of acute and almost constant political crisis, the German government faced issues concerning citizenship, minority rights, religious identity, nationhood and statehood. My dissertation analyses these issues through the prism of the so-called 'Jewish Question'.

  • Sozialdemokratische Partei Deutschlands (SPD) in Sachsen
    Schlagwort-Nr. 6098. Online seit 31.07.2013, aktualisiert am 06.05.2019. Sozialdemokratische Partei Deutschlands (SPD) in Sachsen Während des Ersten Weltkriegs spalteten sich auch in Sachsen die Sozialdemokratische Partei Deutschlands (SPD) in einen Unabhängigen (USPD) und einen Mehrheitsflügel (MSPD). Jedoch trat nur der Bezirk Leipzig benahe geschlossen zur USPD über, so dass die MSPD bis auf regionale Ausnahmen in den meisten Gebieten Sachsens ihre dominante Position innerhalb der Arbeiterschaft behaupten konnte. Da jedoch die nach der Novemberrevolution 1918 auch in Sachsen gebildete sozialliberale Koalition – die SPD hatte bei den Wahlen zur Volkskammer am 2. Februar 1919 41,6% der Stimmen bzw. 42 Mandate gewonnen – in Verbindung mit Reichswehr und Freikorps gegen revoltierende Arbeiter einschritt und gleichzeitig prinzipiell eine Mehrheit für eine sozialistische Einheitsregierung bestand, schwenkte die MSPD immer weiter nach links. Gleichzeitig erneuerte sich die schon vor dem Kriege bestehende Polarisierung zwischen sozialistischen und bürgerlichen Parteien, die in der Folgezeit eine Zusammenarbeit beider Lager erschwerte, oft sogar verhinderte. Nach den Landtagswahlen am 14. November 1920, bei denen die SPD nur noch auf 28,3% bzw. 27 Mandate kam, setzte sich schließlich die Richtung durch, die eine von der Kommunistischen Partei Deutschlands (KPD) tolerierte Koalition aus MSPD und USPD einer Zusammenarbeit mit Deutscher Demokratischer Partei (DDP) und Deutscher Volkspartei (DVP) vorzog. Die linksrepublikanische Regierung betrieb energische Reformen insbesondere in den Bereichen Schul- und Kommunalpolitik, im Justiz- und Polizeiwesen sowie in der Wirtschaft. Im Herbst 1922 vereinigten sich beide Parteien relativ konfliktfrei zur Vereinigten SPD (VSPD). Die wiedervereinigte Partei kam bei den Landtagswahlen am 5. November 1922 wieder auf 41,8%.

    83  Jonathan Zatlin links: Jonathan Zatlin rechts: Guilt by Association Guilt by Association Julius Barmat and German Democracy* Abstract Although largely forgotten today, the so-called “Barmat Affair” resulted in the longest trial in the Weimar Republic’s short history and one of its most heated scandals. The antidemocratic right seized upon the ties that Julius Barmat, a Jewish businessman of Ukrainian provenance, maintained to prominent socialists to discredit Weimar by equat- ing democracy with corruption, corruption with Jews, and Jews with socialists. The left responded to the right’s antidemocratic campaign with reasoned refutations of the idea that democracy inevitably involved graft. Few socialist or liberal politicians, however, responded to the right’s portrayal of Weimar as “Jewish.” The failure of the left to identify antisemitism as a threat to democracy undermined attempts to democratize the German judiciary and ultimately German society itself. And then it started like a guilty thing Upon a fearful summons.1 In a spectacular operation on New Year’s Eve 1924, the Berlin state prosecutor’s office sent some 100 police officers to arrest Julius Barmat and two of his four brothers. With an eye toward capturing headlines, the prosecutors treated Barmat as a dangerous criminal, sending some 20 policemen to arrest him, his wife, and his 13-year old son in his villa in Schwanenwerder, an exclusive neighbourhood on the Wannsee. The police even brought along a patrol boat to underscore their concern that Barmat might try to escape custody via the river Havel. The arrests of Barmat’s leading managers and alleged co-conspirators over the next few days were similarly sensational and faintly ridiculous.

Primarily through loans to build up the economy and diplomatic pressure, the United States and Great Britain helped to maintain an independent Austrian state and prevent an Anschluss or union with Germany from 1918 to 1934. In addition, this study examines the minority of Austrians who opposed an Anschluss . The three main groups of Austrians that supported independence were the Christian Social Party, monarchists, and some industries and industrialists. These Austrian nationalists cooperated with the Americans and British in sustaining an unwilling Austrian nation. Ultimately, the global depression weakened American and British capacity to practice dollar and pound diplomacy, and the popular appeal of Hitler combined with Nazi Germany’s aggression led to the realization of the Anschluss .
