Chapel Hill 2007 Approved by: Advisor: Dr. Christopher Browning Reader: Dr. Konrad Jarausch Reader: Dr. Lloyd Kramer Reader: Dr. Michael Hunt Reader: Dr. Terence McIntosh ©2007 Kevin Mason ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Kevin Mason: Building an Unwanted Nation: The Anglo-American Partnership and Austrian Proponents of a Separate Nationhood, 1918-1934 (Under the direction of Dr. Christopher Browning) This project focuses on American and British economic, diplomatic, and cultural ties with Austria, and particularly with internal proponents of Austrian independence. Primarily through loans to build up the economy and diplomatic pressure, the United States and Great Britain helped to maintain an independent Austrian state and prevent an Anschluss or union with Germany from 1918 to 1934. In addition, this study examines the minority of Austrians who opposed an Anschluss . The three main groups of Austrians that supported independence were the Christian Social Party, monarchists, and some industries and industrialists. These Austrian nationalists cooperated with the Americans and British in sustaining an unwilling Austrian nation. Ultimately, the global depression weakened American and British capacity to practice dollar and pound diplomacy, and the popular appeal of Hitler combined with Nazi Germany’s aggression led to the realization of the Anschluss .

  • Coya Knutson - the Minnesota Farmwife Who Took Washington by Storm
    Cornelia «Coya» Genevive Gjesdal Knutson Født 22. august 1912 i Edmore, Nord Dakota Død 10. oktober 1996 i Edina, Minnesota Til høyre: Coya i 1955. Bilde: Biographical Directory of the United States Congress Congresswoman Coya Knutson - The Minnesota Farmwife who took Washington by Storm - fra tittelbladet til boka ​COYA COME HOME​ av Gretchen Urnes Beito Inspirert av en radiotale av Eleanor Roosevelt i 1942, kastet Coya Gjesdal Knutson seg inn i 1 politikken. Hun gjorde det godt, og drev det like til Representantenes Hus i Kongressen, som den første kvinnelige representanten fra staten Minnesota. I 1950-tallets USA var politikk risikosport for kvinner, og valgkampen til Kongressen måtte hun da også finansiere selv. Partiledelsen ville nemlig ha en annen, og mannlig, kandidat til Washington. Samtidig med et sterkt politisk engasjement, tok hun ansvar for sin sønn, Terry, mens mannens alkoholvaner gjorde familielivet stadig vanskeligere. Men også Coyas politiske liv ble forkludret av mannen. I forståelse med Coyas motstandere i partiet, lanserte han i mai 1958 to åpne brev der han gikk ut mot konas gjenvalg til Kongressen. Det første ble omtalt av redaktør Lloyd Sveen i avisen Fargo Forum. Sveens kommentar kom under overskriften ​COYA COME HOME​. Andy kom i tillegg med antydninger om utroskap. Pikant som saken var, ble den raskt snappet opp av Associates Press, og frasen ​COYA COME HOME​ gikk dermed som ild i tørt gress fra kyst til 2 kyst våren 1958. 1 COYA COME HOME side 65 2 ​https://history.house.gov/People/Detail/16457​, COYA COME HOME side 227 1 Med røtter i Gjesdal og Lillehammer Cornelia «Coya» Genevive Gjesdal ble født i Edmore, Nord Dakota, og var en av fire døtre til Christian Gjesdal og Christine Anderson Gjesdal, som navnene skrives i amerikansk litteratur om Coya.

  • The Worldview of Franklin D. Roosevelt: France, Germany, and United States Involvement in World War Ii in Europe
    ABSTRACT Title of Dissertation: THE WORLDVIEW OF FRANKLIN D. ROOSEVELT: FRANCE, GERMANY, AND UNITED STATES INVOLVEMENT IN WORLD WAR II IN EUROPE Michael S. Bell, Doctor of Philosophy, 2004 Dissertation directed by: Professor Keith W. Olson Dep artment of History President Franklin D. Roosevelt operated from a remarkably consistent view of the world that grew naturally from his experiences. Before he entered the White House, Roosevelt already possessed a coherent worldview that influenced his thinking and informed his decisions as president. The product of his background and education, his experiences, and his exposure to contemporary ideas, Roosevelt’s worldview fully coalesced by the mid 1920s and provided a durable and coherent foundation for Roosevelt’s thinking as president and his strategic direction in response to the deteriorating situation in Europe in the late 1930s and toward the Second World War. Roosevelt’s “worldview” was his broad perspective and sweeping understanding of the impact and interplay of states, parties, groups, and individual people on the progressive advance of world civilization. His background and personal experiences, understanding of historical events, and ideology shaped Roosevelt’s perspective and enabled him to formulate and deliberately pursue long-range strategic goals as part of his foreign policy. The foundation of Roosevelt’s worldview was a progressive, liberal outlook that provided a durable basis for how he interpreted and responded to events at home and abroad. An essential aspect of that outlook was Roosevelt’s deep conviction that he had a personal responsibility to advance civilization and safeguard the cause of liberal reform and democracy. He believed that he was an agent of progress.

  • Onto the National Stage
    Onto the National Stage congresswomen in an age of crises, 1935–1954 Thirty-six women entered Congress between 1935 and 1954, a tumultuous two decades that encompassed the Great Depression, World War II, and the start of the Cold War. Women participated in America’s survival, recovery, and ascent to world power in important and unprecedented ways; they became shapers of the welfare state, workers during wartime, and members of the military. During this time the nation’s capital took on increasing importance in the everyday lives of average Americans. The Great Depression and the specter of global war transformed the role of the federal government, making it a provider and protector. Like their male counterparts, women in Congress legislated to provide economic relief to their constituents, debated the merits of government intervention to cure the economy, argued about America’s role in world affairs, and grappled with challenges and opportunities during wartime. Distinct trends persisted from the pioneer generation of women in Congress. Second-generation women still made up only a small fraction of the total congres- sional membership. At their peak, 15 women served in the 83rd Congress Senators Joseph T. Robinson (far left) and Hattie W. Caraway of Arkansas at the June 1936 Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, at which President Franklin Roosevelt was nominated to a second term. Caraway was a supporter of the Roosevelt administration’s New Deal economic recovery programs, many of which benefited constituents in her agriculture-based state. image courtesy of the national archives and records administration (1953–1955)—about 2.8 percent.
