Nakon kraćeg presjeka povijesti Lovrana, pri čemu nudi i nekoliko dosad nepoznatih podataka iz crkvene povijesti, autor piše o nekim aspektima života Katoličke Crkve u toj župi tijekom razdoblja ...talijanske uprave. Župa Lovran dočekuje raspad Austro-Ugarske u sklopu Tršćansko-koparske biskupije da bi se 1925. godine, zajedno s cijelom Liburnijom, našla u novouspostavljenoj Riječkoj biskupiji. Iznose se imena pastoralno djelatnih svećenika u Lovranu između dvaju svjetskih ratova kao i drugi aspekti vjerskog života tog, dosad slabo poznatog, razdoblja. Okolnosti vjerskog života dvadesetih i tridesetih godina 20. stoljeća smještene su u kontekst nacionalnih i jezičnih pitanja vezanih uz talijanizaciju koju na ovome području provodi Kraljevina Italija. Svoju analizu autor donosi ponajviše na temelju arhivskoga gradiva povezanog s riječkim biskupima, odnosno s njihovim odlukama i mjerama koje se tiču župe Lovran.
Visual arts constitute a significant portion of the Marines’ life, from training manuals to public appearances. Illustrations may inform, educate, or entertain the masses, be they civilians or ...military personnel. The Mud and the Mirth takes a deeper look at comic illustrations from the earliest publications for the Marine Corps-the Recruiters Bulletin, the Marines Magazine, and the Marines Bulletin-prior to World War I, as well as presents the entire collection of Stars and Stripes cartoons illustrated by Marine cartoonist Abian A. Wallgren.
Winner of the World War One Historical Association’s 2021 Norman B. Tomlinson, Jr. Prize Global War, Global Catastrophe presents a history of the First World War as an all-consuming industrial war ...that forcibly reshaped the international environment and, with it, impacted the futures of all the world’s people. Narrated chronologically, and available open access, the authors identify key themes and moments that radicalized the war’s conduct and globalized its impact, affecting neutral and belligerent societies alike. These include Germany’s invasion of Belgium and Britain’s declaration of war in 1914, the expansion of economic warfare in 1915, anti-imperial resistance, the Russian revolutions of 1917 and the United States’ entry into the war. Each chapter explains how individuals, communities, nation-states and empires experienced, considered and behaved in relationship to the conflict as it evolved into a total global war. Above all, the book argues that only by integrating the history of neutral and subject communities can we fully understand what made the First World War such a globally transformative event. This book offers an accessible and readable overview of the major trajectories of the global history of the conflict. It offers an innovative history of the First World War and an important alternative to existing belligerent-centric studies. The ebook editions of this book are available open access under a CC BY-NC-ND 3.0 licence on bloomsburycollections.com.
For a century, British policy towards Poland at the Paris Peace Conference has divided opinions. One common view among historians specializing in the topic is that British policy was not only ...unsupportive but 'anti-Polish'. A minority takes the opposing view: British policy-makers may have differed with many of Poland's claims to contested territories, but they were well-meaning and took Poland's best interests to heart. At the core of the divergence are critical comments by many in the British delegation, notably Prime Minister David Lloyd George: that 'Poles' were emotional, 'difficult', and overreaching in their territorial claims. Such comments reveal that emotional content was integral to discussions of the Polish settlement. British delegates to the peace conference judged Poles and Poland in emotional terms and also expressed their feelings in connection with policy. Restoring the emotional content of Britain's policy at the peace conference provides a new framework for understanding how intercultural contact at Paris shaped policy-makers' discussions and contributes to recent explorations of the integral place of emotions in international history.
