  • The Napoleon Series
    The Napoleon Series Officers of the Anhalt Duchies who Fought in the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars, 1789-1815: Anhalt, Leopold Ludwig, Count By Daniel Clarke Leopold Ludwig Count Anhalt was born on February 28, 1729, in Kleckewitz (Raguhn- Jeßnitz), in the Principality of Anhalt-Dessau. He was the second eldest son of Wilhelm Gustav, Hereditary Prince of Anhalt-Dessau and Johanne Sophie Herre. Therefore he was the brother of Albrecht (1735-1802) and Friedrich (1732-1794), and also half brother to Karl Philipp (1732-1806) and Heinrich Wilhelm (1734-1801). He married Karoline von Printzen in 1763, having one daughter, Wilhelmine Sophie Karoline. Leopold entered the service of Prussia in December 1745 during the War of Austrian Succession. He had been given the rank of Staff Captain and the position of Adjutant- General to general Leopold I, Prince of Anhalt-Dessau, who was his father’s father. On December 15 he was engaged in the Battle of Kesselsdorf, where his uncle defeated an army of Austrians and Saxons. Later, in April 1748, he became a Line Captain and commander of a company in the 3rd Infantry Regiment, Leopold Maximilian von Anhalt- Dessau. Then, during the early stages of the Seven Years’ Wars, he fought with his regiment at the Battle of Lobositz (Lovosice) in October 1756 and Prague in May 1757, where he was wounded three times. The severity of his wounds meant that Leopold only returned to active service in October 1759, but in the meantime he had been promoted to Major in February 1758. For Leopold, though, his first assignment when he returned turned out to be very unlucky.

  • World War I Posters and the Female Form
    WORLD WAR I POSTERS AND THE FEMALE FORM: ASSERTING OWNERSHIP OF THE AMERICAN WOMAN LAURA M. ROTHER Bachelor of Arts in English John Carroll University January, 2003 submitted in partial fulfillment of requirements for the degree MASTERS OF ARTS IN HISTORY at the CLEVELAND STATE UNIVERSITY May, 2008 This thesis has been approved for the Department of ART HISTORY and the College of Graduate Studies by ___________________________________________ Thesis Chairperson, Dr. Samantha Baskind _________________________ Department & Date ____________________________________________ Dr. Marian Bleeke ________________________ Department & Date _____________________________________________ Dr. Elizabeth Lehfeldt ___________________________ Department & Date WORLD WAR I POSTERS AND THE FEMALE FORM: ASSERTING OWNERSHIP OF THE AMERICAN WOMAN LAURA M. ROTHER ABSTRACT Like Britain and continental Europe, the United States would utilize the poster to garner both funding and public support during World War I. While war has historically been considered a masculine endeavor, a relatively large number of these posters depict the female form. Although the use of women in American World War I visual propaganda may not initially seem problematic, upon further inspection it becomes clear that her presence often served to promote racial and national pretentiousness. Based on the works of popular pre-war illustrators like Howard Chandler Christy and Charles Dana Gibson, the American woman was the most attractive woman in the in the world. Her outstanding wit, beauty and intelligence made her the only suitable mate for the supposed racially superior American man. With the onset of war, however, the once entertaining romantic scenarios in popular monthlies and weeklies now represented what America stood to lose, and the “American Girl” would make the transition from magazine illustrations to war poster with minimal alterations.

    º Creation of Order of Chivalry Page 0 of 72 º PREFACE Knights come in many historical forms besides the traditional Knight in shining armor such as the legend of King Arthur invokes. There are the Samurai, the Mongol, the Moors, the Normans, the Templars, the Hospitaliers, the Saracens, the Teutonic, the Lakota, the Centurions just to name a very few. Likewise today the Modern Knight comes from a great variety of Cultures, Professions and Faiths. A knight was a "gentleman soldier or member of the warrior class of the Middle Ages in Europe. In other Indo-European languages, cognates of cavalier or rider French chevalier and German Ritter) suggesting a connection to the knight's mode of transport. Since antiquity a position of honor and prestige has been held by mounted warriors such as the Greek hippeus and the Roman eques, and knighthood in the Middle Ages was inextricably linked with horsemanship. Some orders of knighthood, such as the Knights Templar, have themselves become the stuff of legend; others have disappeared into obscurity. Today, a number of orders of knighthood continue to exist in several countries, such as the English Order of the Garter, the Swedish Royal Order of the Seraphim, and the Royal Norwegian Order of St. Olav. Each of these orders has its own criteria for eligibility, but knighthood is generally granted by a head of state to selected persons to recognize some meritorious achievement. In the Legion of Honor, democracy became a part of the new chivalry. No longer was this limited to men of noble birth, as in the past, who received favors from their king.

  • From Ruscuk to Bessarabia: Manuk Bey and the Career of an Ottoman-Russian Middleman at the Beginning of the 19Th Century
    Cihannüma Tarih ve Coğrafya Araştırmaları Dergisi Sayı III/1 – Temmuz 2017, 23-43 FROM RUSCUK TO BESSARABIA: MANUK BEY AND THE CAREER OF AN OTTOMAN-RUSSIAN MIDDLEMAN AT THE BEGINNING OF THE 19TH CENTURY Stefania Costache* Abstract The life and political career of Manuk Mirzayan (d. 1817), the Armenian money-lender and acolyte of Mustapha Pasha Bairaktar, the ayan of Ruscuk, presents a good case of study of a Ottoman-Russian middleman of the early 19th century Balkans. As a product of the complicated internal and international problems of the Ottoman Balkans, he aptly managed to survive amongst the conflict between two empires and even benefited from the international conflicts as a middleman. By tracing his activities from Ruscuk to Bessarabia, this paper argues that Manuk’s decisions can be considered as strategies to improve his status and secure his life in an environment about which he could only speculate but which clearly favored agents who could cater to the competing interests of different empires and political factions. Keywords: Manuk Mirzayan, Balkans, Russia, Ottoman Empire Ruscuk'dan Besarabya'ya: Manuk Bey ve Bir Osmanlı-Rus Aracısı'nın 19. Yüzyıl Başındaki Kariyeri Öz Ruscuk ayanı Alemdar Mustafa Paşa’nın sarraf ve yardımcısı olan Ermeni Manuk Mirzayan’nın (ö. 1817), hayatı ve siyasi kariyeri 19. yüzyılın ilk yarısında Osmanlı-Rus bir arabulucunun stratejilerini anlamak açısından çok iyi bir örnek sunar. Aynı dönemin Osmanlı Balkanlarının karmaşık iç ve dış denge ve problemlerinin bir ürünü olan Manuk Bey, iki imparatorluk arasındaki çekişmelerde kurnaz bir şekilde ayakta kalmayı becermekle kalmamış, bir aracı olarak bu çekişmelerden faydalanmayı da bilmiştir.
