    The Splintering of Spain

    This page intentionally left blank ii ii The Splintering of Spain This book explores the ideas and culture surrounding the cataclysmic civil war that engulfed Spain from 1936 to 1939. It features specially commissioned articles from leading historians in Spain, Britain and the USA which examine the complex interaction of national and local factors, contributing to the shape and course of the war. They argue that the ‘splintering of Spain’ resulted from the myriad cultural clea- vages of society in the 1930s. Thus, this book views the civil war less as a single great conflict between two easily identifiable sets of ideas, social classes or ways of life, than historians have previously done. The Spanish tragedy, at the level of everyday life, was shaped by many tensions, both those that were formally political and those that were to do with people’s perceptions and understanding of the society around them.

    VLADIMIR PUTIN: an ASPIRANT METTERNICH? by Mitchell A

    JANUARY 2015 VLADIMIR PUTIN: AN ASPIRANT METTERNICH? By Mitchell A. Orenstein Mitchell A. Orenstein is Professor and Chair of the Department of Political Science at Northeastern University in Boston and an affiliate of both the Davis Center for Russian and Eurasian Studies and the Minda de Gunzberg Center for European Studies at Harvard University. As Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered his military into Ukraine in 2014, people were quick to compare him to Adolph Hitler, whose annexation of Austria and invasions of Czechoslovakia and Poland set off World War II. Hillary Clinton commented in March 2014 that if Putin’s justification for taking Crimea to protect ethnic Russians sounded familiar, it was because, “it’s what Hitler did back in the ’30s. Germans by ancestry were in places like Czechoslovakia and Romania and other places, [and] Hitler kept saying they’re not being treated right. I must go and protect my people.” Since that time Ukrainian Euromaidan supporters have published dramatic images of Putin as “Putler,” mashups that have trended wildly on social media and become a staple of public protests. Yet, Putin’s approach to world affairs is more similar to that of another Austrian, Prince Klemens von Metternich. Like Metternich, the dominant force in post-Napoleonic era diplomacy, Putin is a conservative imperialist who seeks to create a balance or “concert” between the great powers in Europe, while suppressing liberal democratic politics and the aspirations of small nations. By comparing Putin’s worldview with that of Metternich, one can gain more insight into Putin’s approach to world affairs than can be understood from much contemporary debate.
  • The Congress of Vienna and the Conservative Order of Europe

    The Congress of Vienna and the Conservative Order of Europe

    The Congress of Vienna and the Conservative Order of Europe The Congress of Vienna After Napoleon had finally been defeated in 1815, the European monarchs breathed a huge sigh of relief. After all, the French Revolution and the development it had triggered had dominated European politics for more than a quarter of a century. Napoleon had not always been a passionate advocate of the French Revolution, yet his con- quest and occupation of Europe had contributed substantially to the spread of its ideas – liberty, equality, and fra- 5 ternity – all over the continent. Having defeated Napoleon, the monarchs of Europe were eager to ensure the restoration of peace and order. They were particularly anxious about the legacy of the ideas of the revolution, and therefore the governments of Europe were determined to follow policies that provided stability and squelch any kind of political turmoil. The Congress of Vienna, a conference of diplomats from all over Europe, tried to settle political and territ- 10 orial questions that had arisen from the Napoleonic Wars. The Congress began in 1814 when Napoleon was still exiled on Elba. In the beginning, delegates could not agree on any solutions which helped Napoleon re-establish his rule in France after his return from exile. However, after Napoleon’s final defeat at Waterloo in 1815, the Congress of Vienna took up its work again. The countries that had made the most vital contributions to defeat Napoleon were Russia, Great Britain, 15 Prussia, and Austria. Their representatives at the Congress were Tsar Alexander I of Russia, Lord Castlereagh – foreign secretary of Great Britain – King Frederick William III of Prussia, and Prince Klemens von Metternich* – chief minister of Austria and chairman of the conference.

    Casanova, Julían, the Spanish Republic and Civil

    This page intentionally left blank The Spanish Republic and Civil War The Spanish Civil War has gone down in history for the horrific violence that it generated. The climate of euphoria and hope that greeted the over- throw of the Spanish monarchy was utterly transformed just five years later by a cruel and destructive civil war. Here, Julián Casanova, one of Spain’s leading historians, offers a magisterial new account of this crit- ical period in Spanish history. He exposes the ways in which the Republic brought into the open simmering tensions between Catholics and hard- line anticlericalists, bosses and workers, Church and State, order and revolution. In 1936, these conflicts tipped over into the sacas, paseos and mass killings that are still passionately debated today. The book also explores the decisive role of the international instability of the 1930s in the duration and outcome of the conflict. Franco’s victory was in the end a victory for Hitler and Mussolini, and for dictatorship over democracy. julián casanova is Professor of Contemporary History at the University of Zaragoza, Spain. He is one of the leading experts on the Second Republic and the Spanish Civil War and has published widely in Spanish and in English.

En el presente artículo se analizan los discursos construidos en algunos periódicos tabasqueños sobre los jóvenes durante el régimen garridista y su papel como participantes en el cumplimiento de algunos preceptos revolucionarios. Tam- bién se examina el impacto de la educación racionalista y del Instituto Juárez en las identidades juveniles y en la conformación de la ideología del Bloque de Jóvenes Revolucionarios, organización fundamental para las políticas ga- rridistas y la sobrevivencia del régimen. La investigación demuestra el impac- to de la educación formal e informal en la construcción de distintas maneras de comprender la realidad circundante, de las identidades mismas y la fun- ción de los distintos sectores en su entorno. cómo citar: Meza Huacuja, I.

    Political Developments in Europe During the 19th Century TOPICS COVERED: -The Congress of Vienna -European nationalism -Changes to the Ottoman, Austrian, and Russian empires -The Unification of Italy -The Unification of Germany The Congress of Vienna (1814-1815) • After Napoleon’s defeat at the Battle of Waterloo in 1815, European heads of government were looking to establish long-lasting peace and stability on the continent. • The goal was collective security and stability for all of Europe. • A series of meetings known as the Congress of Vienna were called to set up policies to achieve this goal. This went on for 8 months. The Congress of Vienna (1814-1815) • Most of the decisions were made among representatives of the five “great powers”- Russia, Prussia, Austria, Great Britain, and France. • By far the most influential representative was the foreign minister of Austria, Klemens von Metternich. • Metternich distrusted the democratic ideals of the French Revolution and had 3 primary goals: 1. Prevent future French aggression by surrounding France with strong countries. 2. Restore a balance of power so that no country would be a threat to others. 3. Restore Europe’s traditional royal families to the thrones they held before Napoleon’s conquests. The Congress of Vienna (1814-1815) Results of the Congress of Vienna: • France’s neighboring countries were strengthened (ex: 39 German states were loosely joined to create the German Confederation; the former Austrian Netherlands and Dutch Netherlands were united to form the Kingdom of the Netherlands) • Ruling families of France, Spain, and several states in Italy and Central Europe regained their thrones (it was believed this would stabilize relations among European nations) The Congress of Vienna (1814-1815) Although France had been the aggressor under Napoleon, it was not severely punished at the Congress of Vienna.

  • The Voice of Conservatism: Metternich of Austria

    The Voice of Conservatism: Metternich of Austria

    Eli Hersberger Western Civilization November 17, 2004 The Voice of Conservatism: Metternich of Austria In a time when Ludwig van Beethoven composed his Ninth Symphony, when William Wadsworth wrote beautiful poems about nature, and when Delacroix painted canvases with vivid color, a prince by the name of Klemens von Metternich was establishing a political doctrine known as “conservatism.” One must understand that the beginnings of conservatism are not very similar to “conservatism” as we know it today. This conservatism advocated a strong-handed government upon human rights, hindering equality, and controlling the economy. Begun by Edmund Burke in the 1790’s, Metternich was able to put conservatism into action. He was the foreign minister of the Austrian Empire and headed the Congress of Vienna when it met from September 1814, to June 1815. After Napoleon Bonaparte’s defeat, those he attacked desired to reestablish order in Europe. Great Britain, Austria, Prussia, and Russia met in Vienna, Austria to try and prevent any further revolutions from occurring (Kissinger). Revolutions were awful for their people, and social and political order needed to be reestablished. Metternich was a strong- willed and persuasive leader and convinced the attending leaders that returning to the “Old Regimes” of monarchy and strong central government would be the best route. This stance made him a reactionary, “one who wishes to return to previous conditions” (Diem). One returned, he advocated a form of conservatism he hoped would thwart any revolution in Europe. However, his efforts were no match for the enlightenment and the ideologies of liberalism and nationalism. We see in his memoirs that Metternich was in favor of a form of empire.
