Severely criticizes the loss of nearly 55% of Mexican territory by General Santa Anna who had the work suppressed, copies in private hands burned, and the authors imprisoned (facsimiles of Santa Anna's confiscation decrees laid in loose). "They [the authors] wanted to understand why Mexico had lost the war and the nation's territory. They wanted to present this study in the form of "Apuntes" so that the information could serve as an example of how to preserve the nation in the future. That is the great achievement of this work. That the writers hoped it would teach other generations about the critical moments Mexico had experienced, about what had led to them, and how we could correct our course in order to preserve what remained of the territory and the nation. Later they became politicians and worked together with the generation led by Benito Juárez. Their experiences during the U.S.-Mexican war helped them when they had to face the French invasion in the 1860s. Eventually they did carry out the work of consolidating Mexico," (from "'Apuntes' and the Lessons of History:" A Conversation with Jesús Velasco- Márquez, Instituto Tecnológico Autónomo de México).

  • America's Color Coded War Plans and the Evolution of Rainbow Five
    TABLE OF CONTENTS: INTRODUCTION 1 CHAPTER I: THE MONROE DOCTRINE AND MILITARY PLANNING 8 CHAPTER II: MANIFEST DESTINY AND MILITARY PLANNING 42 CHAPTER III: THE EVOLUTION OF RAINBOW FIVE 74 CONCLUSION 119 BIBLIOGRAPHY 124 INTRODUCTION: During World War II, U.S. military forces pursued policies based in large part on the Rainbow Five war plan. Louis Morton argued in Strategy and Command: The First Two Years that “The early war plans were little more than abstract exercises and bore little relation to actual events.” 1 However, this thesis will show that the long held belief that the early war plans devised in the late 19 th and earlier 20 th centuries were exercises in futility is a mistaken one. The early color coded war plans served purposes far beyond that of just exercising the minds and intellect of the United States most gifted and talented military leaders. Rather, given the demands imposed by advances in military warfare and technology, contingency war planning was a necessary precaution required of all responsible powers at the dawn of the 20 th century. Also contrary to previous assumptions, America’s contingency war planning was a realistic response to the course of domestic and international affairs. The advanced war plan scenarios were based on actual real world alliances and developments in international relations, this truth defies previous criticisms that early war planners were not cognizant of world affairs or developments in U.S. bilateral relations with other nations. 2 This thesis reveals that the U.S. military’s color coded war plans were part of a clear, continuous evolution of American military strategy culminating in the creation of Rainbow Five, the Allied plan for victory during the Second World War.

  • The Legacy of War on Fiscal Capacity
    The Legacy of War on Fiscal Capacity Didac Queralt∗ October 29, 2018 Abstract This manuscript revisits the relationship between war and state-making in modern times by focusing on types of war finance. Tax-financed war exerts lasting effects on state capacity because new taxes require enhancements of the state apparatus and complementary fiscal innovations. Loan-financed war may not contribute to long-term state capacity because countries might default once the war ends, preempting any persistent fiscal effect. I advance two mechanisms of transmission of war effects: one being political—tax-financed war transforms taxation into a nonzero-sum game|, the other bureaucratic. To address concerns of endogeneity in access to war participation and war finance, I exploit unanticipated, historical crashes in international financial markets, which temporarily dried up capital flows around the globe and precluded warring states from borrowing irrespective of their (un)observed characteristics. Results suggest that the advent of a genuinely global capital market in the early nineteenth century undermined the association between war and state making. ∗Yale University, Political Science; [email protected] 1 1 Introduction War, although devastating, offers a matchless opportunity to transform the state. The magnitude of resources a country must amass to finance the means of war offers rulers the incentives to invest in state making while reducing domestic resistance to taxation. War clears the path to fiscal centralization (Dincecco, 2011), the professionalization of the tax administration (Ardant, 1975), and the adoption of new taxes|from excises (Brewer, 1988) to progressive income taxes (Scheve and Stasavage, 2010). Fiscal innovations are often ac- companied by complementary organizations, including treasuries and central banks (O'Brien, 2001), and improved budgeting technologies (Dincecco, 2011).

  • The Virginius Affair and the Rise of Free Trade Foreign Policy in Nineteenth-Century America

Kyle Romero May, 2014 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Foremost, I would like to thank my advisor, Dr. David Engerman of the Brandeis History Department, for his tireless efforts to help me conceive, shape, and finish this thesis. His guidance has been indispensable throughout the entire process of writing, and I would not be where I am as a scholar without his tutelage, although there is surely more work to be done yet. For his timely acceptance to be a reader of this thesis, as well as his continued guidance in the field of American history, I also thank Dr. Michael Willrich. I further want to extend my gratitude to all of the faculty and staff of the Brandeis History Department who graciously welcomed me and helped me to find my footing as a graduate student. Similarly, thanks to all of my fellow graduate students at Brandeis who have, over long conversations, extensively contributed to the making of this thesis. To all of my family: my parents, Erik, and Katie, for their limitless support and care during a time when I was often unable to repay it, I give my utmost thanks. I can only hope to have such prodigious support in these upcoming years.

ROSSI ABSTRACT The 1920 Svalbard Treaty conferred full and absolute sovereignty on Norway but paradoxically limited that sovereignty by conferring on states party to the treaty equal enjoyment and liberty of access provisions on Svalbard and in its territorial waters. Whether these provisions now extend to geographic areas adjacent to Svalbard’s territorial sea— specifically to Svalbard’s oil-rich continental shelf and abundant fishing stock of the superjacent waters of its Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ)—is a matter of considerable debate.

  • Rasa Island: What Industrialization to Remember and Forget
    Volume 15 | Issue 1 | Number 2 | Article ID 4996 | Jan 01, 2017 The Asia-Pacific Journal | Japan Focus Rasa Island: What Industrialization To Remember and Forget Hiromi Mizuno Abstract: Rasa Island, a small, remote coral deserted island with no tree, no inhabitant, and atoll of Okinawa, was once a robust company virtually no topsoil left. town of Rasa Phosphate Industry Inc. Now abandoned and forgotten, the barren island nonetheless tells a rich story of Japan’s industrialization, a counter-narrative to the problematically simplified and celebratory history provided at the Meiji Industrial Revolution Sites recently inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage list. By using Rasa Island and critical heritage studies scholarship, this article examines the place of “industrial heritage” in post-industrial societies and what kind of heritage is performed at Japan’s World Heritage sites. Keywords: Rasa Island, fertilizer, industrialization, World Heritage Unlike the sites discussed in the other articles in this special issue, my site, Rasa Island, is a Okidaitōjima forgotten one. In fact, it is a site of abandonment. Because of that, it raises the issue of what is and should be “heritage,” and The island’s history is intimately tied to colonial what kind of narrative of industrialexpansion over centuries. Its first recorded development gets mobilized for “industrial sighting was by the Spanish navigator heritage” for Japan. I present the story of Rasa Bernando de la Torre, on September 25, 1543 Island here as a historical counter-inquiry into during his mission to find a return route for the the fixated meanings the official industrial Spanish military and trade ships from the heritage sites attempt to attach to industrial Philippines to New Spain.
