In 1885, German Chancellor Otto von Bismarck ordered the expulsion of over 30,000 non-naturalized Poles and Jews from Germany’s Prussian provinces. This article explores Bismarck’s strategic aims ...behind his decision to authorize one of the most extreme policies of his career. After examining the current historiographical assertion that the expulsions were a manifestation of antisemitic and anti-Polish clamor within German society, this article investigates Bismarck’s strategic aims for the expulsions within the context of domestic politics and international relations. This article argues that these policies actually aimed to harm Bismarck’s parliamentary critics and foreign powers threatening the Reich that he had constructed.
Ekonomske krize tijekom povijesti često su bile poticaj za zdravstvene i socijalne reforme.
Rezultat toga bilo je uvođenje sustava opće zdravstvene zaštite i socijalne jednakosti u velikom
broju ...zemalja. Ovim radom željeli smo kronološki prikazati velike gospodarske krize
i njihove učinke na zdravstveni i socijalni sustav. Dva najpoznatija modela zdravstvene
zaštite, Bismarckov i Beveridgeov, na kojima se temelji funkcioniranje većine zdravstvenih
sustava u svijetu, upravo su proizišli iz velikih ekonomskih kriza.
Pregled povijesnih događaja i iskustva iz prošlosti mogu biti korisna u predviđanju budućih
zbivanja i učinaka krize na zdravstvene sustave i zdravlje. Analiza prijašnjih kriza, kao i
trenutačne zdravstvene i gospodarske krize uzrokovane pandemijom bolesti COVID-19, i
njihova učinka na sustav zdravstva može pomoći u razumijevanju mehanizama djelovanja
i posljedica recesije na zdravlje te određivanju smjernica i promjena kojima bi se umanjile
potencijalne štete budućih kriza. Upravo iz iznesenih povijesnih primjera vidi se da kriza
može biti poticaj promjena koje u svojoj suštini ne moraju biti negativne. O reakciji društva
ovisi koji će biti smjer tih promjena i na samom je društvu da negativne okolnosti koje donosi
recesija transformira u aktivnosti koje donose dobrobit i napredak.
Das Graue Kloster in Berlin hat seine einstige Bedeutung eingebüßt und ist gegenwärtig nur noch ein ‚gebrochener Erinnerungsort‘. Es fristet als Ruinendenkmal an der viel befahrenen Grunerstraße ein ...Schattendasein und die von ihm einst ausgegangene Lebendigkeit und Vielfalt drohen der Vergessenheit anheim zu fallen. Doch mit der anstehenden Neugestaltung des Klosterviertels, dem das Graue Kloster seinen Namen gab, rücken Fragen an die Geschichte des Klosters in den Fokus. Welche Bedeutung hatte das Kloster im Mittelalter? Wie wirkte das Berlinische Gymnasium zum Grauen Kloster, das nahezu 400 Jahre innerhalb der einstigen Klostermauern für Bildung und Kultur stand? Auf welche Weise strahlten Kloster und Gymnasium in das umgebende Viertel sowie die Stadt Berlin aus? Wie ist der gegenwärtige interdisziplinäre Forschungsstand zu diesem Areal? Vom landesherrlichen Beginn im Mittelalter bis zum heutigen Schicksal des Klostergeländes und seiner möglichen Zukunft: Die hier versammelten Beiträge bilden ein Panorama, das die herausragende Stellung des Areals in der Berliner Stadtgeschichte einem größeren Publikum erschließt.
Following the surge of the Black Lives Matter movement in the wake of George Floyd’s murder on 25 May 2020, memorials in remembrance of individuals implicated in colonialism or slavery have come ...under increasing attack. This article discusses and contextualizes challenges in 2020 to the memorialization of Otto von Bismarck (1815–1898) and Emily Ruete née Salama bint Said (1844–1924) in Hamburg, where the legacy of the German colonial past is particularly palpable. The article argues that proposed solutions—be it the demolition of the city’s main Bismarck monument, its restoration and the erection of a counter-memorial adjacent to it, or the un-naming of a street named after Ruete—potentially erase the complexities and contradictions of the lives of historical actors, are often informed by a desire to quarantine the past, and, just as often, fail to engage with its continuation in the present.
In the 1888-1889 Bushiri War, German chancellor Otto von Bismarck seized upon pan-European rhetoric of the 'Arab slave trade' to organise a coalition of Europe's colonial powers to blockade the East ...African coast. The blockade was the most direct international action against the slave trade at the height of antislavery activism but has largely been left out of narratives about 1880s antislavery. Historians working in recent years have complicated the story of European antislavery in the late nineteenth century from an idea of antislavery as merely a façade for imperial expansion. These studies have examined the intersections of humanitarianism and imperialism in the major conferences of the Scramble for Africa. Bismarck tried to replace conference diplomacy with an Anglo-German alliance. But when the highest profile blockade capture was German, supporters of a more aggressive approach in both Germany and the UK overwhelmed the small abolitionist movement and demanded their governments quit working together in the manner of the blockade. The individual national action of the 1890s overtook other methods of humanitarianism in empire. The blockade's failure helps explain why the Brussels Anti-Slavery Conference unfolded as it did and the course of antislavery internationalism after 1890.
