Zeppelins Over Trentham
Zeppelins over Trentham Zeppelin raids had taken place at points across the country from 1915, but it was believed that the Midlands were too far inland to be reached by airships. On 31st January 1916, the area was taken by surprise as a number of airships reached the Midlands. One was seen over Walsall at 20.10 and another attacked Burton at 20.30. Lighting restrictions were not in force at the time, so the local area, including the steelworks at Etruria, were lit up. A zeppelin approached from the south and was seen over Trentham. Frederick Todd, the Land Agent for the Trentham Estate, reported that: “At least two zeppelins, who were evidently making their way to Crewe, dropped seven bombs at Sideway Colliery without much damage - they missed their objectives which were the Power House, the by-products plant, and the pit-head installation.” They made craters, but caused no injuries or loss of life. Following this raid, precautions were taken, with blackouts and restrictions on lighting. In 1915 Trentham Church reported spending £3 on insurance against zeppelin attack and damage. On Monday 27th November 1916, a clear, dry night, the German Navy Airship LZ 61 [Tactical number L21], in the company of nine other Zeppelins, crossed the Yorkshire coast. It initially attacked Leeds but was repelled by anti-aircraft fire. Commanded by Oberleutnant Kurt Frankenberg, the LZ61 was on its 10th raid of England, and had also carried out 17 reconnaissance missions. At 22.45 a warning was received locally. Black out and air raid precautions were taken. -

Cotton, Finance and Business Networks in a Globalised World: the Case of Egypt During the First Half of the Twentieth Century
Cotton, Finance and Business Networks in a globalised World: The Case of Egypt during the First Half of the Twentieth Century Thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy International Business & Strategy, Henley Business School Akram Beniamin November 2019 Declaration I confirm that this is my own work and the use of all material from other sources has been properly and fully acknowledged. Akram Beniamin i Abstract Firms and entrepreneurs were key drivers of the globalisation of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. This thesis investigates commodity networks, foreign banking and business networks, as three manifestations of the first global economy, in Egypt. The country was integrated into the world economy by exporting cotton, importing foreign capital, and hosting a large foreign community. The thesis shows that the Egyptian cotton network was sophisticated as market participants were spatially dispersed. The network was instrumentally coordinated by foreign banks that provided the crucial functions of intermediating the flows of cotton, finance, and information. Departing from the literature that portrays foreign banks in developing countries as manifestations of imperialism and exploitation of host countries, the thesis demonstrates that the history of these banks in Egypt does not conform to this rhetoric. The case of the Ionian Bank reveals that foreign banks in Egypt were businesses that sought profits and faced many risks and challenges. Some risks were uncontrollable and negatively affected banks’ performance, which was shaped by trade-off between opportunity and risk appetite. The analysis of the interlocking directorates of the Egyptian corporate and elite networks demonstrates that these networks, predominantly controlled by local foreigners, served as a basis for coordinating and maintaining collective interests. -

Institutionally, the answer is obviously yes. Our art museums and galleries abound in photography, and our scholarly jour- nals lavish photographs with attention once reserved for work in other media. Although many contemporary artists mix photography with other tech- nical methods, our institutions do not require this. Th e broad affi rmation that photographs can be art, which comes after more than a century of disagreement and doubt, fulfi lls an old dream of uniting creativity and industry, art and automatism, soul and machine. -
Philip De László in the Great War by Giles Macdonogh
Philip de László in the Great War By Giles MacDonogh Hungarian-born Philip de László (1869-1937) was a truly international artist who travelled widely in Europe and America and painted many of those who were the major political players in the First World War. He moved from Vienna to London in 1907 with his wife Lucy, née Guinness, and family, and quickly established his reputation there, counting the royal family, aristocracy and members of government amongst his many patrons. This essay examines de László’s situation as a naturalised alien and an artist in the context of the spy furore in Britain during the First World War. Philip Alexius de László in his Vienna studio 1903 Self-portrait with his wife Lucy and their son Henry painted while under house arrest at Ladbroke Gardens Nursing Home 1918 I The Great War was not only the ‘first’ war designated as global, it was the first to have roused an ubiquitous spy fever which placed whole sections of immigrant communities under suspicion of working for the enemy.1 Britain was not unique. In Berlin, those opening days of August were marked by lawless demonstrations against foreigners: the British Embassy was attacked, diplomats were struck, British subjects were locked up in the fortress in Spandau and a great ‘spy excitement’ resulted in rumours about poisoning wells and lakes.2 Germany had a tenth the number of aliens as Britain where most Germans, Austrians, Hungarians and Turks were modest shopkeepers or tradesmen. The grandees attached to embassies left along with the more prominent Germans and Austrians, although many of those indicted for spying for the Axis Powers were Americans of German descent. -

Anglo-German Relations Prior to the Great
ANGLO-GERMAN RELATIONS PRIOR TO THE GREAT WAR: THE HALDANE MISSION REVISITED By VERNON SHELBY ARCHER Bachelor of Arts East Central University Ada, Oklahoma 1986 Submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate College of the Oklahoma State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of MASTER OF ARTS July, 1988 ANGLO-GERMAN RELATIONS PRIOR TO THE GREAT WAR: THE HALDANE MISSION REVISITED Thesis Approved: Dean of the Graduate College PREFACE This thesis has grown out of a long-term interest in arms control and disarmament, and a desire to understand why and how arms control agreements have been reached in the past. My research into pre-World War One Anglo-German - relations, dealing in particular with the great battleship race, was motivated by my desire to compare this relationship to Hans Morganthau's postulate as a test of its validity. This political realist argues that a "political settlement must precede disarmament. Without political settlement, disarmament has no chance for success."1 There is the immediate need to modify at least one point on Morganthau's theory in order for it to have any relevance to prewar Anglo-German relations. There was never any serious attempt made to conclude an actual naval disarmament treaty between Britain and Germany, but statesmen on both sides of the North Sea did desire some form of arms control arrangement at one time or another. For the purposes of my thesis, arms control shall be defined as the regulation of an "armaments race for the purpose of creating a measure of military stability," while disarmament is the "transformation of the international politics by eliminating its destructive and anarchical iii tendencies."2 The point is that the basic difference between disarmament and arms control is one of elimination versus limitation.
