This article focuses on the Ivan Petrushevich papers at the Hoover Institution. The collection includes printed materials, correspondence, documents, and clippings related to Ukraine, specifically ...addressing questions about Ukraine's territory after World War I, the Paris Peace Conference, Ukrainian Diplomatic Missions in London and Paris, the development of cooperatives (as a movement) in Ukraine and Canada, and finally, the political and social life of Ukrainians in Canada and the United States (1913-1940). The Petrushevich papers are a rich primary source of information regarding political events and various Ukrainian subjects during the interwar period.
The work indicated in Polish literature as the cartographic basis for the negotiations of Polish issues at the Paris Peace Conference (1919–1920) is Eugeniusz Romer’s
(
). Given the complicated fate ...of the atlas, the position of its author in the Polish delegation, and the multidisciplinarity and importance of the conference, it is worth considering whether this atlas really played such an important role, or whether this is merely a statement, a repeated assignment of this role, to stave off concealment or lack of knowledge about other cartographic materials developed and used for the same purpose. Therefore, the main aim of this study was to determine the level of use of cartographic documents other than the
in lobbying and official negotiations of Polish issues before and during the Paris Peace Conference. The research task was associated with an extensive archival query, which confirmed the fact that dozens of maps survived, mainly manuscripts, which were prepared before and during the conference. It should be concluded that the maps of E. Romer’s atlas constituted one set of many equally important cartographic documents which were used by the negotiators at the Paris Peace Conference.

Examines how the Irish American community, the American
public, and the American government played a crucial role in the
making of a sovereign independent Ireland
On Easter Day 1916, more than a ...thousand Irishmen stormed Dublin
city center, seizing the General Post Office building and reading
the Proclamation for an independent Irish Republic. The British
declared martial law shortly afterward, and the rebellion was
violently quashed by the military. In a ten-day period after the
event, fourteen leaders of the uprising were executed by firing
squad.
In New York, news of the uprising spread quickly among the
substantial Irish American population. Initially the media blamed
German interference, but eventually news of British-propagated
atrocities came to light, and Irish Americans were quick to
respond.
America and the Making of an Independent Ireland centres
on the diplomatic relationship between Ireland and the United
States at the time of Irish Independence and World War I. Beginning
with the Rising of 1916, Francis M. Carroll chronicles how Irish
Americans responded to the movement for Irish independence and
pressuring the US government to intervene on the side of Ireland.
Carroll's in-depth analysis demonstrates that Irish Americans after
World War I raised funds for the Dáil Éireann government and for
war relief, while shaping public opinion in favor of an independent
nation. The book illustrates how the US government was the first
power to extend diplomatic recognition to Ireland and welcome it
into the international community.
Overall, Carroll argues that the existence of the state of Ireland
is owed to considerable effort and intervention by Irish Americans
and the American public at large.

Conference interpreting is a relatively young profession. Born at the dawn of the 20th century, it hastened the end of the era when diplomatic relations were dominated by a single language, and it ...played a critical role in the birth of a new multilingual model of diplomacy that continues to this day. In this seminal work on the genesis of conference interpreting, Jesús Baigorri-Jalón provides the profession with a pedigree based on painstaking research and supported by first-hand accounts as well as copious references to original documentation. The author traces the profession's roots back to the Paris Peace Conference of 1919, through its development at the League of Nations and the International Labor Organization, its use by the Allied and Axis powers as they decided the fate of nations in the years prior to and during World War II, and finally its debut on the world stage in 1945, at the Nuremberg Trials. Available for the first time in English, this account will be of interest not only to scholars and students of interpreting but also to any reader interested in the linguistic, social, diplomatic, and political history of the 20th century.
The subject of the article is the relations between Azerbaijan Democratic Republic (ADR) and France during the Paris Peace Conference of 1919-1920. The author reveals the key events of the ADR ...foreign policy (1918-1920), the first state in the Muslim world with a Republican form of government, and France, which plays a leading role in the world order after the First world war. The methodological basis of the study is a historical and genetic method, which allows to trace the causation and patterns of development of foreign policy of ADR and France in the context of recognition of ADR independence at the Paris Peace Conference. The scientific novelty of the research is to attract new sources not previously introduced into scientific circulation. A special place is occupied by the documents of the head of delegation of ADR at the Paris Peace Conference Ali Mardan Bey Topchibashev, published in 2016 in the collection of documents “Paris archive.” Issues of the French foreign policy Bulletin “Correspondence d’Orient” for 1918, 1919, 1920 are also involved. In Russian science, the topic is practically undisclosed. The study concluded that ADR was able to keep its independence only with the support of Western countries, including France. However, the categorical position of the French government in relation to the ADR contributed to the rapid fall of the newly formed Republic in the East.
In the aftermath of the Great War, similar to other colonial powers, Portugal was under greater pressure to meet the requirements of the more ‘enlightened’ concept of imperial rule. Even if Woodrow ...Wilson’s rhetoric regarding the condition of the colonial populations was quickly perceived as deeply flawed by nationalist and proto-nationalist leaders across the colonial world, the emergence of the League of Nations was a significant development in the new international landscape. In the 1920s, these new developments became the focal point for the critics of the colonial status quo. This paper sets out to explore various facets of this new chapter of European imperialism. It will start by assessing the challenges met by Portugal at the Peace Conference and the compromises that came out of it. It will then examine the agency displayed by some creole leaders from Portugal’s empire who managed to forge connections with the Pan Africanist movement, as well as explore the ambiguities of their relationship with the Portuguese authorities. Additionally, it will also examine the challenges posed by the League of Nations in the fields in which Portugal’s ‘civilizing’ record appeared more dubious (above all, matters pertaining to labour relations)
The history of Italy’s diplomatic struggle for recognition of Italian control over the Dodecanese Islands during the period of Italy’s participation in the World War I and in the period of post-war ...settlement of territorial problems at the Paris and Lausanne peace conferences is considered. The article proves that during the World War I and during the post-war peace conferences Italy, referring to the articles of the London Treaty of 1915, sought international recognition of its possession of the Dodecanese Islands. It is reported that Greece, which also participated in the war on the Entente side, sought to establish its own control over the Islands of the archipelago. It is noted that in the current situation, Italy had undoubted advantages over Greece, primarily because the Islands were really under Italian control. It is shown that the discussion of the issue was seriously affected by the defeat of Greece in the war of 1919-1922 with Turkey, after which Greece could no longer be a real rival of Italy in the struggle for the Dodecanese Islands. It is reported that the outcome of the Lausanne peace conference in 1923 was the legal recognition of the Islands as the possession of Italy, with which both Turkey and Greece were forced to reconcile.
The article is devoted to the key events of the foreign policy of the Azerbaijani Democratic Republic (1918-1920), the first state in the Muslim world with a republican form of government, and Great ...Britain, which initially pursued an occupation policy, and later promoted the de facto recognition of the newly formed state at the Paris Peace Conference. Also, the Republic of Azerbaijan viewed Great Britain as a Mandatory Power and sought to coordinate its foreign policy with it. The research is based on new sources previously not introduced into scientific circulation. A special place here is occupied by the documents of the head of the Azerbaijani delegation at the Paris Peace Conference, Alimardan Topchibashev, published in 2016 in the collection of documents The Paris Archives. The history of the first Azerbaijan Democratic Republic is represented, mainly, in the works of Azerbaijani researchers, among which Jamil Hasanli and Sevinj Yusifzadeh are widely known. In Russian science, the topic is practically not investigated.
