A Downing Street diary with a difference; offering a unique record and a fascinating insight into the British government during WWI, written by Margot Asquith, the wife of the prime minister, H. H. ...Asquith.
Mit seiner während des Ersten Weltkriegs entstandenen Erzählung legte Simon Dubnow eine kollektive Biografie der russischen Judenheit vor. Er schildert die Ereignisse zwischen den Jahren 1881, der ...Zeit der Pogrome, und 1915 aus der Perspektive eines namenlosen jüdischen Soldaten, der in den Reihen der russischen Armee auf den Schlachtfeldern des Ersten Weltkrieges kämpfte und starb. Sein Leben steht stellvertretend für 35 Jahre der Erniedrigung und Verfolgung, aber auch des Kampfes und der Hoffnung einer ganzen Generation russischer Juden. Dubnow reicherte seinen Text mit etlichen Fakten an und ließ immer wieder auch eigene Erlebnisse mit einfließen. Die Erzählung wird ergänzt durch einen ausführlichen Kommentar und Dokumente aus dem persönlichen Archiv Simon Dubnows, die hier erstmals veröffentlicht werden.
Millions of men volunteered to leave home, hearth and family to go to a foreign land to fight in 1914, the start of the biggest war in British history. It was a war fought by soldier-citizens, ...millions strong, most of whom had volunteered willingly to go. They made up the army that first held, and then, in 1918, thrust back the German Army to win the Great War. The British 'Tommy' has been lionized in the decades since the war, but little attention has been made in the literature to what motivated the ordinary British man to go to France, especially in the early years when Britain relied on the voluntary system to fill the ranks. Why would a regular working-class man leave behind his job, family and friends to go to fight a war that defended not British soil, but French? Why would a British man risk his life to defend places whose names he could pronounce only barely, if at all? This book answers why, in the words of the men who were there. Young and old, from cities and country, single and married, they went to war willingly and then carried their experiences of being a part of the Great War, and why they chose such a difficult and dangerous path.

Governments often respond to crisis situations with radical economic policies. The Shipping Act of 1916 created a government-owned shipping company. This significant departure from prior policy arose ...in the atmosphere of crisis surrounding the war in Europe. The Wilson Administration was able to use political institutions to its advantage and ensure that alternative, more moderate proposals would not be considered by the legislature. Initially thwarted by a filibuster, the administration was forced to compromise in order to maintain party loyalty and pass the bill in 1916.
This article explores the short-term policy effects of adding women to the electorate during the Progressive Era in U.S. politics. The question is addressed through the use of a structural model that ...looks at the indirect as well as the direct policy effects of the addition of women. Analysis of aggregate voting data and other information from Arizona in 1914 and 1916 generally suggests that, depending on the type of issue involved, the addition of women was significant in that it swelled the ranks of a relatively conservative component of the electorate and those of particular culturaleconomic groups.
