Ranging from the earliest cities in the Americas to Inca metropolises, millennia of urban human history along the Andes have left large and striking sites scattered across the country. But cities and monuments do not exist in solitude. Peru’s ancient sites are connected by a vast circulatory system of roads that connected every corner of the country, and thousands of square miles beyond its current borders. The Inca road system, or Qhapaq Ñan, is particularly famous; thousands of miles of trails linked the empire from modern- day Colombia to central Chile, crossing some of the world’s tallest mountain ranges and driest deserts. The Inca state recognized the importance of its road system, and dotted the trails with rest stops, granaries, and religious shrines. Inca roads even served directly religious purposes in pilgrimages and a system of ritual pathways that divided the empire (Ogburn 2010). This project contributes to scholarly knowledge about the Inca and Pre-Hispanic Andean civilizations by studying the roads which stitched together the Inca state.

  • When 'The State Made War', What Happened to Economic Inequality? Evidence from Preindustrial Germany (C.1400-1800)
    Economic History Working Papers No: 311 When ‘The State Made War’, what Happened to Economic Inequality? Evidence from Preindustrial Germany (c.1400-1800) Felix S.F. Schaff October 2020 Economic History Department, London School of Economics and Political Science, Houghton Street, London, WC2A 2AE, London, UK. T: +44 (0) 20 7955 7084. When `the State Made War', what Happened to Economic Inequality? Evidence from Preindustrial Germany (c. 1400-1800) Felix S.F. Schaff ∗ Abstract What was the impact of military conflict on economic inequality? This paper presents new evidence about the relationship between military conflicts and economic inequality in prein- dustrial Germany, between 1400 and 1800. I argue that ordinary military conflicts increased economic inequality. Warfare raised the financial needs of towns in preindustrial times, leading to more resource extraction from the population. This resource extraction happened via inegal- itarian channels, such as regressive taxation. The Thirty Years' War was an exception to that pattern but not the rule. To test this argument a novel panel dataset is constructed combining information about economic inequality in 72 localities and 687 conflicts over four centuries. The analysis suggests that there existed two countervailing effects of conflicts on inequality: destruc- tion and extraction. The Thirty Years' War was indeed a \Great Leveller" (Scheidel 2017), but the many ordinary conflicts { paradigmatic of life in the preindustrial world { were continuous reinforcers of economic inequality. Keywords: Wealth, Inequality, Warfare, Institutions, Political Economy, Germany. JEL Classification: N33, D31, I32, N43, H20. ∗London School of Economics and Political Science.

  • Subsidies, Diplomacy, and State Formation
    8 Small powers and great designs: diplomacy, cross-border patronage, and the negotiation of subsidy alliances in the north-western part of the Holy Roman Empire (late seventeenth century) Tilman Haug In his study of mercenaries in north-western Germany in the early modern period, Peter Burschel stated that the end of the Thirty Years’ War with the Peace of Westphalia did not mark a significant decrease in demand in the regional mercenary markets, which remained at a fairly constant level throughout the entire seventeenth century.1 Even at a superficial glance at the political and military landscape in the north-western periphery of the Holy Roman Empire, this region may provide an example of the intense and prolonged susceptibility of the European order to military conflicts and their consequences, as it was particularly close to the main theatres of the Dutch conflicts with Spain, the Thirty Years’ War and the major wars waged by Louis XIV against his European rivals.2 Owing to the failure in negotiations between France and the Spanish monarchy in Münster, this military struggle continued up until the Peace of 1 Peter Burschel, Söldner im Nordwestdeutschland des 16. und 17.

  • Götz Von Berlichingen
    GÖTZ VON BERLICHINGEN: SOLDIER, ENTREPRENEUR, RACONTEUR by Bradley M. Fansher A Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts in History Thesis Committee: Dr. Suzanne Sutherland, Chair Dr. Molly Taylor-Poleskey Middle Tennessee State University August 2020 ABSTRACT This thesis is a study of the life and times of Götz von Berlichingen (1480-1562), a German nobleman known for his iron fist and his legendary feuds. It argues that three identities defined Götz: a soldier, an entrepreneur, and a raconteur. The different layers of Götz’s identity emerged in response to the challenges in his life that sprang from the changes of the sixteenth century. These changes included the growth of the state, the decline of the nobility, the divisiveness of the Reformation, and the advent of a world view based on measurement. Despite some costly missteps, Götz responded well to new circumstances, so that by the end of his life he was more prosperous than many of his noble peers. Through a close reading of Götz’s autobiography, a social network analysis, and a comparative spatial study, the thesis elucidates the means of and the mentality behind Götz’s success. ii TABLE OF CONTENTS INTRODUCTION............................................................................................................. 1 Historiography ................................................................................................................. 5 Sources, Methods, Structure ........................................................................................

  • À Madame / Madame Marie Anne / Mozart / À / Salzbourg / Franco1 Munich, 14Th January 1775 Praise God! My Opera2 Went in Scena3
    0311. MOZART TO HIS MOTHER , SALZBURG À Madame / Madame Marie Anne / Mozart / à / Salzbourg / Franco 1 Munich, 14 th January 1775 Praise God! My opera 2 went in scena 3 yesterday, being the 13 th , [5] and was done so well that I cannot possibly describe to Mama the uproar. First of all, the whole theatre was so bursting full that many people had to go away again. After every aria there was always a terrible din with clapping, and cries of viva maestro . Her Serene Highness the Electress, 4 and the dowager 5 |: who were facing me :| also called out bravo to me. [10] At the end of the opera , during the time when one is quiet until the ballet begins, there was nothing but clapping and cries of bravo , now ceasing, now beginning again, and so on. Afterwards I went with my Papa into a certain room which the Elector 6 and the whole court have to pass through and I kissed the hands of Their Serene Highnesses 7 the Elector and Electress and Their Highnesses, 8 [15] who were all very gracious. Early this morning, His Princely Grace the Bishop of Chiemsee 9 sent a message here with congratulations that the opera has, in everyone’s opinion, turned out so completely beyond compare. As for the journey back, that will not happen so soon, nor should Mama wish it, for Mama knows, of course, how good it is to catch one’s breath again – – – –we shall be back – – soon enough. [20] A proper and essential reason is because the opera will be put on again 10 on the coming Friday, 11 and I am very necessary for the performance – – otherwise one would not recognise it again – – – – for it is most curious here.
