  • Soldiers' Reconciliation
    Soldiers’ Reconciliation René Cassin, the International Labour Office, and the Search for Human Rights JAY WINTER Reconciliation is the search for an alternative way of configuring hostile parties, locked in the hatred and bitterness unleashed by war and violence. One set of identities – that of soldiers killing other soldiers on the other side of the line – is muted by the construction of another set of identities, com- ing out of combatant status but moving away from war. Here the moral au- thority of soldiers, as men who know what Walt Whitman termed the red business of war, is decoupled from the conflict which brought them into uniform in the first place. Thereafter the door is at least ajar, leading to oth- er encounters with those whom they would have tried to kill on the battle- field. Those post-combat meetings help engender solidarities, an unlikely alliance of former enemies determined after the end of hostilities to make another murderous war unthinkable. I want to tell the story of one such effort. To be sure, in the short term, it failed, but in the process of creating a new kind of veterans’ politics, a se- ries of ideas emerged which had long-lasting consequences. These are the interests former soldiers had in constructing a norm of international affairs above that of the nation state. States, Raymond Aron tells us, are those in- stitutions defined by their right to wage war. Veterans in the interwar years challenged the absolute sovereignty of states precisely because of the lethal consequences of decisions to go to war for everyone caught up in them.

  • To View Expanded Department of France History
    2019 Edition A Message from National Commander Brett P. Reistad The American Legion’s story begins in the Department of France. It was here in the months following the armistice of Nov. 11, 1918, where members of the American Expeditionary Forces waited to re-enter an uncertain future, having fought with their lives to make, as President Woodrow Wilson pledged, the world “safe for democracy.” The cost of fulfilling that pledge can be calculated in many ways, foremost of which is the number of Americans – more than 117,000 – who gave their lives to fulfill it. The enduring benefit of accomplishing such a deadly and difficult mission was a stronger America, a nation that would become revered worldwide as a beacon of hope, liberation and international integrity. When Lt. Col. Theodore Roosevelt, Jr., called three other officers to Paris in January 1919 to discuss the future ahead for America, they did so with the cost of war fresh on their minds. On that occasion, and in a follow-up gathering the next month, they made a commitment that wartime U.S. veterans worldwide would spend the next century fulfilling – to make America stronger, to honor the fallen, to preserve and protect the hard-won peace and to “cement the ties of comradeship” forged in battle. From the Paris Caucus of March 15-17, 1919, through establishment of overseas Memorial Day commemorations and the American Battle Monuments Commission, to the inception of an international coalition of wartime veterans – Federation Interalliee des Anciens Combatants – that laid a foundation later adopted in many ways through NATO, the early American Legion in France built and nurtured respect and understanding of the United States that continues today.

  • War Veterans, Demobilization and Political Activism: Greater Romania in Comparison
    fascism 6 (2017) 75-117 brill.com/fasc War Veterans, Demobilization and Political Activism: Greater Romania in Comparison Constantin Iordachi Central European University, Budapest [email protected] Blasco Sciarrino Central European University, Budapest [email protected] Abstract This article aims to further problematize the relationship between patterns of demobi- lization, fascism and veterans’ activism, on several inter-related counts. We argue that the relationship between fascism and war veterans was not a fixed nexus, but the out- come of a complex political constellation of socio-economic and political factors that necessitates a case-by-case in-depth discussion. Also, we argue that these factors were both national and transnational in nature. Finally, we contend that researchers need to employ a synchronic as well as a diachronic perspective, thus accounting for vari- ous stages and forms of mobilization of war veterans over time. To substantiate these claims, the current article focuses on a relevant but largely neglected case study: the demobilization of soldiers and war veterans’ political activism in interwar Romania. It is argued that, contrary to assumptions in historiography, demobilization in Romania was initially successful. Veterans’ mobilization to fascism intensified only in mid-to late 1930s, stimulated by the Great Depression, leading to a growing ideological po- larization and the political ascension of the fascist Legion of ‘Archangel Michael’. To better grasp the specificities of this case study, the concluding section of the article compares it to patterns of veterans’ activism in postwar Italy.

In order to comprehensively analyse this case study the article focuses on the role that Romanian former fighters played within the international forums known as FIDAC (Fédération Interalliée des Anciens Combattants) and CIAMAC (Conférence Internationale des Associations des Mutilés de guerre et Anciens Combattants). At the same time, the ways in which local and national factors affected these veterans’ transnational activities are explored. The author also deals with the problem of how veterans from former Entente countries were bound by a shared “culture of victory”, thereby pri- oritizing, among their goals, the preservation of the Versailles and Trianon systems. Introduction On 8 November 1925, the Romanian reserve lieutenant and Great War veteran Pierre Ciolan attended the inauguration of the Pierre de Haudroy war memorial in Aisne. Addressing the former servicemen at the event, who represented various former partners of the Entente, he stated that they all shared a mission: to protect the peace which they had contributed to create, having helped win the conflict. The comradeship of arms which unites us was not a casual and fleeting enco- unter on the battlefield.
