It is states tbat engage in diplomacy, make treaties, arbitrate dis­ putes, and go to war, Even when an individual has an interest to promote or protect, such as a financial claim against some foreign state, there is no way to handle it internationally except through the diplomatic machinery of his state. It fol­ lows that the state is the basic unit in the world community, much as the individual is the basic unit in national and in local communities. Why do states act as they do? The answer to this question is not simple, but, broadly speaking, the policies of states are reactions to environmental stimuli. Because of the attributes of characteristics of modern states, certain reactions appear to be quite natural. Under given circumstances states find it possible to cooperate with each other, while under other environmental stimuli states are 1 liable to refuse cooperation, become aggressive, or go to war. The purpose of this paper is to examine the relations of two states, The United States of America, and the kingdom of Italy, This examination covers the time after the completion of the unification of Italy, up to the time of the treaty between the two nations for the advancement of peace, just prior to the first World War. 1 Norman Hill, International Relations (New York: Ox­ ford University Press, 1950) P a g e 3 During the earlier part of this period, nearly every occurrence of much importance in the diplomatic history of Europe was connected with the Franco-Prussian War, The war itself brought about efforts to prevent the outbreak of war, the protection of the neutrality of Belgium and Luxembourg, German seixure of neutral property during the war, and the sale of munitions of war to the belligerents. In Gctober of 1870 Russia announced that she would no longer be bound by the terms of the treaty of Paris {1856} relative to the Black Sea. In September, 1870, the Italian Government occupied Some, and the diplomatic history of a United Italy commenced, German demands for the annexation of Alsace-Lorraine and the evacuation 2 of France were diplomatic problems up to 1873. In the United States,,Ulysses S. Grant was president. Described by Bailey as a narrow and bewildered military hero, Grant, suddenly elevated from a seat in the saddle to one in the White House, was a pathetic and gullible misfit. By a happy accident, says Bailey, he chose Hamilton Fish*who was . a wealthy and socially prominent New Yorker, as his Secretary of State. Fish found the diplomatic problems to be the trouble in Cuba. Santo Domingp, the difficult Alabama Claims, and 3 other problems. 3 Anderson and Hershey, Handbook for Diplomatic History (Washington, Government Printing Office, 1918) pp. 9-10. 3 Thomas A, Bailey, A Diplomatic ^History of the American People(Hew York: Appleton, Century,Cr'ofts, Inc., 1946) pp.406-425 After the Franco-Prussian War and until M s retirement in 1890, Bismarck dominated the international affairs of Eu­ rope to a degree seldom paralleled by any other individual. From 18?1 on, Bismarck's chief and almost exclusive aim in foreign policy was to preserve for Germany the gains she had secured by the Franco-Prussian War. As the annexation of Alsace-Lorraine made the restoration of a really friendly feeling between France and Germany impossible, Bismarck was haunted with the fear lest France should find allies and de­ velop a coalition hostile to Germany. Bismarck therefore bent his efforts toward securing the complete isolation of France. His success was remarkably speedy and complete. It was secured and maintained throughout the period by the arrangement called commonly the League of the Three Emperors. The Franco-German war scare of 1875 showed the kind of danger to which France was constantly exposed ovring to the isolation 4 forced upon her by Bismarck. About this time there were war scares in American cir­ cles. By January of 1876 the great diplomatic plans of>Fish had broken down and recommendations to Congress for interven- 5 tion in Cuba seemed to be enough,to precipitate war with Spain. In 18?6 the most important features of European diplomacy arose out of the Eastern Question, as the problem of the exist- *- 4 Anderson and Hershey, on.cit.« p. lo 5 Samuel Flagg Beads, American Secretaries of State and their Diplomacy.

Turkish misrule, especially in the Balkan pen­ insula, resulted in tiie Bus so-Turkish was of 1877-1878. The settlement of this war was the cause of great dissatisfaction in many different quarters and created conditions which had a large influence in bringing about the World War. Soon after the adjournment of the Congress of Berlin, Bismarck obtained from Austria-Hungary recompense for the assistance he had rend- 6 ered the Dual Monarchy. At the Congress of Berlin Bismarck professed to play the role of ”honest broker”, i. to seek no personal or no German interest, but to act as the impartial friend of all parties, thus to facilitate the arrangement of a satisfactory adjustment. Meanwhile, he found the necessary arrangement for trench isolation in the form of a close alliance with Austria- Hungary . Three years later the arrangement was altered by the addition of Italy to the combination, the formation of the Triple Allianee. Bismarck was able to continue the complete 7 isolation of France by his reinsurance treaty with Russia. Throughout the entire period, but especially in the leier years, questions arising out of the colonial enterprises of Europe occupied much attention. Little attention was giren 6 Anderson and Hershey, op. cit., p 10-11 7 Anderson and Hershey, op. cTt., Introduction, pp. 9 ff. to th@ United States, As late as 1878 only a small portion of Africa, consisting chiefly of the Mediterranean coast, the southern end of the continent, and scattered regions along the west coast was under the control of European countries. Bivalry. for possession and the adjustment of boundaries gave rise to a series of diplomatic disputes, A large number of questions arose as, in the next dozen years, nearly all of the unclaimed portion of the African continent passed under European 8 control. Many of these questions were settled by the powers directly interested. The United States was not involved. At this time, however, the United States was beginning to take a place in world affairs. During the years after the Civil War the energies of the American people were absorbed by industrial expansion and transformation. The consequent economic and financial maladjustments brought about a number of crusades for popular panaceas, notably greenbacks and free silver. At the same time the enormous task of conquest of the continent involved real ©state, railroad building, Indian fighting, buffalo shooting, homesteading, and other pursuits. In brief, Americans were so busy with their own affairs that, in the absence of compelling issues of foreign policy, they had little time to give to their relations with other powers. 8 Among these problems were the establishment of the French protectorate over Tunis, the dual control of Egyptian finances, the Sudan question,.the British occupation of Egypt, Anglo-German rivalry in Southwest Africa, the formation of • the Congo Free State, the Berlin conference, British relations with the Boer republics, and the questions about the Portuguese colonies* The five Secretaries of State from 18?7 to 1893, with one ex- 9 ception, were without previous diplomatic experience, and they 10 were appointed primarily for political reasons,.

Science and Diplomacy: The Past as Prologue Vaughan C. Turekian and Norman P. Neureiter HIS past December marked twenty years since the dissolution of the Soviet TUnion quietly and peacefully ended the Cold War. While that era saw the Cuban Missile Crisis, proxy wars, and policies of mutual assured destruction, it was also a period when people on both sides of the conflict looked for ways to bridge differences and increase the chances for peace and resolution. In a 1985 address to the nation days before meeting with Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev for the first time, President Ronald Reagan stated “We can find, as yet undiscovered, avenues where American and Soviet citizens can cooperate fruitfully for the benefit of mankind . In science and technology, we could launch new joint space ventures and establish joint medical research projects.” Two years later, John Negroponte, the President’s Assistant Secretary of State for Oceans and International Environmental and Scientific Affairs (OES), further articulated the Administration’s view during congressional testimony: “It would be short-sighted of us not to recognize that it is in our national interest to seek to expand scientific cooperation with the Soviet Union.” In many ways, the Cold War was a time of highly effective use of science diplomacy to build bridges and connections despite the existence of great political tensions.

  • H.Doc. 108-224 Black Americans in Congress 1870-2007
    “The Negroes’ Temporary Farewell” JIM CROW AND THE EXCLUSION OF AFRICAN AMERICANS FROM CONGRESS, 1887–1929 On December 5, 1887, for the first time in almost two decades, Congress convened without an African-American Member. “All the men who stood up in awkward squads to be sworn in on Monday had white faces,” noted a correspondent for the Philadelphia Record of the Members who took the oath of office on the House Floor. “The negro is not only out of Congress, he is practically out of politics.”1 Though three black men served in the next Congress (51st, 1889–1891), the number of African Americans serving on Capitol Hill diminished significantly as the congressional focus on racial equality faded. Only five African Americans were elected to the House in the next decade: Henry Cheatham and George White of North Carolina, Thomas Miller and George Murray of South Carolina, and John M. Langston of Virginia. But despite their isolation, these men sought to represent the interests of all African Americans. Like their predecessors, they confronted violent and contested elections, difficulty procuring desirable committee assignments, and an inability to pass their legislative initiatives. Moreover, these black Members faced further impediments in the form of legalized segregation and disfranchisement, general disinterest in progressive racial legislation, and the increasing power of southern conservatives in Congress. John M. Langston took his seat in Congress after contesting the election results in his district. One of the first African Americans in the nation elected to public office, he was clerk of the Brownhelm (Ohio) Townshipn i 1855.

Sanders, Associate Dean of Graduate Studies Date Ryan J. Antonucci © 2013 iii ABSTRACT Scholars of Italian-American history have traditionally asserted that the ethnic community’s media during the 1920s and 1930s was pro-Fascist leaning. This thesis challenges that narrative by proving that moderate, and often ambivalent, opinions existed at one time, and the shift to a philo-Fascist position was an active process. Using a survey of six Italian-language sources from diverse cities during the inauguration of Benito Mussolini’s regime, research shows that interpretations varied significantly. One of the newspapers, Il Cittadino Italo-Americano (Youngstown, Ohio) is then used as a case study to better understand why events in Italy were interpreted in certain ways.

  • Revolting Peasants: Southern Italy, Ireland, and Cartoons in Comparative Perspective, 1860–1882*

There was more to these images than the age-old hostility of the townspeople for the peasant, and this article comparatively explores how cartoons of southern Italian brigands and rural Irish agitators helped shape a liberal version of what was modern by identifying what was not: the revolting peasant who engaged in ‘‘unmanly’’ violence, lacked self-reliance, and was in thrall to Catholic clergymen. During periods of unrest, distinctions between brigands, rebels, and the rural populations as a whole were not always clear in cartoons. Comparison suggests that derogatory images of peasants from southern Italy and Ireland held local peculiarities, but they also drew from transna- tional stereotypes of rural poverty that circulated widely due to the rapidly expanding European publishing industry. While scholarly debates inspired by postcolonial perspectives have previously emphasized processes of othering between the West and East, between the metropole and colony, it is argued here that there is also an internal European context to these relationships based on ingrained class and gendered prejudices, and perceptions of what constituted the centre and the periphery.
