Rush and William W. Epley CENTER OF MILITARY HISTORY UNITED STATES ARMY WASHINGTON, D.C., 2006 CMH Pub 70–101–1 First Printing Publisher’s Foreword The U.S. Army Center of Military History (CMH) is pleased to publish the proceedings from the fifth annual international workshop held in Vienna, Austria, by the Partnership for Peace Consortium’s Military History Working Group (MHWG), 4–8 April 2005. The workshop was titled “Multinational Operations, Alliances, and International Military Cooperation: Past and Fu- ture,” and its papers represent the official military history scholarship from eleven countries. Military cooperation and alliances have always been an important aspect of the study of military history, and the MHWG seminars reflect the strong scholarly cooperation among the group’s members. Annually for the past five years, representatives of the most prominent military history offices have gathered in these seminars to examine and discuss some particularly significant aspects of military history. In 2005 the participants focused on alliances and military cooperation, a topic of vital importance in an increasingly complex international environment. Examining historical antecedents in a cooperative forum, such as that offered by the MHWG seminars, will lead to a better un- derstanding of these challenges. Particular recognition and thanks go to workshop host General Raimund Schittenhelm, commandant of the Austrian National Defense Academy; and cochairs Erwin A. Schmidl, Austrian National Defense Academy, and Ronald G. Haycock, Royal Military College of Canada. As a participant in this seminar and a long-time supporter of the working group, CMH was extraordinarily pleased both with the intellectual depth and diversity of the papers presented and with the teamwork and camaraderie that emerged within the seminar over the several days of its duration. We truly hope that this example will be an inspiration for many productive historical enterprises in the future. Mutual understanding is the first step toward friend- ship among our many partners around the globe. Jeffrey J. Clarke Chief of Military History United States Army June 2006 iii Workshop Host’s Foreword It is with particular pleasure that I am able to present this compendium of papers presented in the course of the fifth workshop organized by the Partner- ship for Peace Consortium’s Military History Working Group. In 1995 Austria joined both the European Union and the NATO Partnership for Peace program, and has been active in both fields. The National Defense Academy has participated in many forums in the Consortium of Defense Academies and Security Studies Institutes because, in the “globalized” envi- ronment of today, international cooperation more than ever is key to success. And what better form of international academic cooperation can we think of than to have scholars, officers, and historians of countries that were enemies not so long ago come together jointly to examine our common past? The topic of this conference holds particular importance today. Unfortu- nately, the end of the Cold War in 1989–1991 failed to bring universal peace. On the contrary, crises and conflicts have erupted all over the globe, and the international community has had to assist many times to end wars, to stabilize countries, and to implement conditions that could serve as a basis for peace in the future. In our fast-moving times, past experience and lessons are quickly forgot- ten, and there are tendencies to reinvent the wheel. Examining the outcome of earlier operations, therefore, is not just of interest for armchair strategists or for historians; it also provides many vital tools for planning and executing future missions. It is my pleasure and privilege to invite you to read this volume of papers presented at the workshop in Vienna.

My name is Jacob, and I’ll be your chair, helping to guide you as you take on the role of the Soviet political elites circa 1961. Originally from Wilmington, Delaware, at Princeton I study Slavic Languages and Literature. The Eastern Bloc, as well as Yugoslavia, have long been interests of mine. Our history classes and national consciousness often paints them as communist enemies, but in their own ways, they too helped to shape the modern world that we know today. While ultimately failed states, they had successes throughout their history, contributing their own shares to world science and culture, and that’s something I’ve always tried to appreciate. Things are rarely as black and white as the paper and ink of our textbooks. During the conference, you will take on the role of members of the fictional Soviet Advisory Committee on Centralization and Global Communism, a new semi-secret body intended to advise the Politburo and other major state organs. You will be given unmatched power but also faced with a variety of unique challenges, such as unrest in the satellite states, an economy over-reliant on heavy industry, and a geopolitical sphere of influence being challenged by both the USA and an emerging Communist China.

Tensions between metropolitans and bishops reflected dissatisfaction among parish clergy and laypeople as well, which in some cases resulted in the formation of new religious movements. As a society experiencing extraordinary social and political upheavals, including new borders, a nationalizing state, industrialization, new communication and transportation networks and new political ideologies, inter-war Romania was a fecund environment for religious innovation. With monasticism in decline and ever higher expectations being placed on both priests and laypeople, two of the most significant new religious movements of the period emerged in regions where monasticism and the monastic approach to spirituality had been strongest. The first, Inochentism, began in Bessarabia just before the First World War. Its apocalyptic belief that the end times were near included a strong criticism of the Church and the state, a critique that transferred smoothly onto the Romanian state and Orthodox Church once the region became part of Greater Romania.

  • Babadzhanian, Hamazasp
    Babadzhanian, Hamazasp Born: February 18th, 1906 Died: November 1st, 1977 (Aged 71) Ethnicity: Armenian Field of Activity: Red Army Brief Biography Hamazasp Khachaturi Babadzhanian was a Russian military general who served during multiple wars for the Soviet Union, rising to prominence during the Great Patriotic War. He was born in 1906 into an impecunious Armenian family in Chardakhlu, Azerbaijan. He attended a secondary school in Tiflis in 1915 but due to familial financial difficulties was forced to return home and toil in the fields on his family’s plot of land, later working as a highway worker during 1923-24. Babadzhanian joined the Red Army in 1925 and later attended a Military School in Yerevan in 1926, graduating as an officer in 1929, as well as joining the Soviet Communist Party in 1928. He received various postings, mopping up armed gangs in the Caucasus region in 1930 and aided in liquidating the Kulak revolt. Babadzhanian moved around frequently, generally within the Transcaucasus and Baku regions, until 1939-1940, when he served in the Finno-Soviet war. He played a pivotal role in numerous battles in World War 2, participating in the battle of Smolensk, as well as contributing a fundamentally in Yelnya, where he overcame a far superior German force. For his efforts in recapturing Stanslav he received the title of Hero of the Soviet Union. He provided support in Poland, as well fighting in Berlin, contributing to the capture of the Reichstag. After the Great Patriotic War Babadzhanian would prove crucial in quelling the Hungarian Revolution in 1956, and some time after in 1975 became Chief Marshal of the Tank and Armoured Troops, a rank only he and one other attained.

On an individual basis, Romanian scholars may seek respectability and recognition in the international scientific community, but no one would expect them to collectively set the tone for political science. And it is only fair to say that marginality is perhaps the inescapable fate of all political science enterprises in Central and Eastern Europe. For American, British, German, French, and even Italian political sciences are not only dominant, but also self-reliant and self- sufficient. Therefore, it would be more interesting to look at what Romanian political science is, rather than at what it does or tries to do.

  • Mihail Manoilescu – Inspirational Even When He Is Not Right
    Mihail Manoilescu – Inspirational Even when He Is Not Right Ion Pohoaþã Ph.D. Professor „Al.I. Cuza” University, Iaºi Abstract. Mihail Manoilescu is part of the series of those economists criticized in different ways, from the exaggeratedly appreciatively reviews to those that do not recognize any of his merits. The success of an analysis to place him where he rightfully belongs is related to taking into consideration a criterion –that of his- torical time in which Mihail Manoilescu formed himself as a state man and a science man. Only like this, only when thinking about the inter-war period, of great creative effervescence, of real renaissance for Romania, of affirmation and con- solidation of the economy and of the Romanian state, of his imposing in the world economy, we can understand better the logic of his starting premises and of his judgments he based his theory on. Key words: Classical school; international trade; productivity; polemic. Because the faith placed him in the middle of some It is difficult to grasp, in few words and little sketches, crucial events for the history of Romania, whose evolution the complexity of the phenomenon named Mihail he partly influenced, since he took care of the central Manoilescu. A rich critical Romanian and foreign problems of the economy, as a science and phenomenon literature has plentifully accomplished here, its duty. in itself, playing his whole native ingenuity and What I believe I must say here is that myself, the author of recognized polemic spirit, Mihail Manoilescu was and these lines, did not make exception and was one of the remains, through his work, an exhaustless subject of analysts who expressed opinions which could be placed meditation, theoretical reflection and generous source of both in the plusses and minuses rubric, continuing to doctrinaire analysis.

  • Hitler, Britain and the Hoßbach Memorandum
    Jonathan Wright and Paul Stafford* Hitler, Britain and the Hoßbach Memorandum The Hoßbach Memorandum is the most famous and most controversial document in the history of the Third Reich. Yet there is no critical edition of it — a telling example of the degree to which historians of the twentieth century are swamped by their sources. Every line of the document deserves close study. It contains one of the classic statements of Hitler's racial philosophy and of the policy of the conquest of living space to solve Germany's economic problems. On this level it is comparable to passages in Mein Kampf and the Memorandum on the tasks of the Four Year Plan. But the Hoßbach Memorandum also offers an insight into another dimension of Hitler's thought: the first recorded detailed argument about when and how the conquest of liv- ing space was to begin. The essence of this argument is that Germany had limited time at its disposal because its relative strength compared to its opponents would decline after 1943—45 and that was therefore the final date for action. Hitler appeared confi- dent about the international situation. The weakness of the British Empire, which he elaborated in some detail, and the domestic divisions of the French Republic, Russian fear of Japan and Polish fear of Russia, the favourable attitude of Italy so long as the Duce was alive, all he declared offered Germany an opportunity to destroy Czechoslo- vakia and simultaneously to absorb Austria with little risk of intervention by other powers. Hitler also discussed two possible developments which would enable Germany to act before 1943—45: a domestic crisis in France which made it unable to go to war, or France becoming involved in war with another power which he saw as an immediate possibility for 1938 arising out of the Spanish civil war.

    6 THE CAUSES OF WORLD WAR II IN EUROPE: HITLER’S WAR As you read this chapter, consider the following essay question: • To what extent was World War II ‘Hitler’s War’? As you have read, there were problems with peacekeeping in the 1920s, and there were aggressive and expansionist states that were threatening peace (Japan in Manchuria and Italy in Abyssinia) in the 1930s. Yet according to some historians, and according to Britain’s wartime leader, Winston Churchill, World War II was primarily caused by the ambitions and policies of Adolf Hitler – the conflict was ‘Hitler’s War’.
