English | ISBN: 0367353784 | 2022 | 284 pages | EPUB | 16 MB
The 'Macedonian question' has been much studied in recent years as has the political history of the period from the Balkan Wars in 1912-13 to the Treaty of Lausanne in 1923. But for a variety of reasons, connected with the political division of Greece and the involvement of outside powers, the events at and behind the Macedonian front have been side-lined. The recent commemorations of the centenary of the end of the First World War in the UK illustrate how by comparison with the enormous and moving emphasis on the western front, Macedonia has been not wholly but largely ignored. This volume illuminates this comparatively neglected period of Greek history and examines the strategic and military aspects of the war in Macedonia and the political, social, economic and cultural context of the war.

Deutsch | 2018 | ISBN: 3806236658 | 424 Seiten | PDF EPUB (True) | 23 MB
1918 bricht das alte Europa krachend zusammen: Die Vielvölkerreiche zerfallen, neue Staaten entstehen auf der Landkarte, die ihre Identität, ihr politisches System erst noch lernen müssen, und Nationalismus und ethnischer Chauvinismus erheben ihr Haupt. Wie viel dies mit uns heute zu tun hat, wird uns nach 100 Jahren erst allmählich bewusst.

Free Download The Moscow Council (1917-1918): The Creation of the Conciliar Institutions of the Russian Orthodox Church By Hyacinthe Destivelle
2015 | 466 Pages | ISBN: 0268026173 | PDF | 3 MB
By the early twentieth century, a genuine renaissance of religious thought and a desire for ecclesial reform were emerging in the Russian Orthodox Church. With the end of tsarist rule and widespread dissatisfaction with government control of all aspects of church life, conditions were ripe for the Moscow Council of 1917-1918 to come into being.The council was a major event in the history of the Orthodox Church. After years of struggle for reform against political and ecclesiastical resistance, the bishops, clergy, monastics, and laity who formed the Moscow Council were able to listen to one other and make sweeping decisions intended to renew the Russian Orthodox Church. Council members sought change in every imaginable area―from seminaries and monasteries, to parishes and schools, to the place of women in church life and governance. Like Vatican II, the Moscow Council emphasized the mission of the church in and to the world.Destivelle's study not only discusses the council and its resolutions but also provides the historical, political, social, and cultural context that preceded the council. In the only comprehensive and probing account of the council, he discusses its procedures and achievements, augmented by substantial appendices of translated conciliar documents.Tragically, due to the Revolution, the council's decisions could not be implemented to the extent its members hoped. Despite current trends in the Russian church away from the Moscow Council's vision, the council's accomplishments remain as models for renewal in the Eastern churches.Review"Destivelle's volume is a welcome contribution to the ever-burgeoning field of the history of Orthodoxy in Russia. This book will certainly become a staple for anyone desiring to become acquainted with one of the most exciting moments in Russian Orthodox history." (Theological Studies)"Contemporary global Orthodoxy is in the process of confronting unprecedented challenges. . . . The autocephalous Orthodox churches address these challenges in various ways, as pastors and theologians appeal to notions of consensus among the Fathers in the past as models. Occasionally, pastors and theologians will also consider creative models of the church for engaging the modern world. The University of Notre Dame Press's recent translation and publication of Hyacinthe Destivelle's comprehensive analysis of the Moscow Council of 1917-1918 grants English-language readers access to one of the most discussed and perhaps least understood historical examples of such models . . . an instant classic and a necessary desktop resource for all serious students and scholars of Russian Orthodoxy and ecclesiology." (The Wheel)"As the centenary of the Russian Revolution approaches, Hyacinthe Destivelle's study offers a valuable resource for assessing a critical dimension of that momentous event: the Orthodox Church Council of 1917-1918. Deploying a wealth of published sources to recount the origins, activities, and results of this remarkable gathering, Destivelle provides a synthesis that is at once insightful and accessible to a broad readership. His work covers the entire period from the first calls for a council in 1905 through the assembly's conclusion in 1918, skillfully demonstrating how the conciliar ideal was translated into concrete ecclesiastical decrees. In doing so, Destivelle identifies the central players and the broad range of issues at stake in the Church's reform, as well as the resonance of the council's decisions for the rest of the twentieth century. His book represents a fine contribution to the growing scholarship on religion in Russia and provides an excellent point of entry for those seeking to understand the fate of the Orthodox Church in the twentieth century." (Paul W. Werth, University of Nevada, Las Vegas)"Hyacinthe Destivelle's study is a much-needed and timely examination of the historic All-Russia Church Council of 1917-1918―a council that marked both the culmination and the beginning of a new epoch in modern Russian Orthodoxy. The English translation of the council's definitions and decrees, as well as the 'Statute of the Local Council of the Orthodox Church of All Russia,' along with Destivelle's exceptional commentary and annotations, will remain a foundational work for scholars and students of modern Christianity and Orthodoxy, as well as for scholars and students of Russian history, for decades to come." (Vera Shevzov, Smith College)"This publication of this important work in English is an event of great significance. The book will serve as an indispensable handbook for historians, students of history and religion, and certainly also clerics and theologians wishing to acquaint themselves with the basics of a foundational even in the history of the modern Christian churches." (The Russian Review)"[Destivelle's] book, which is based on the council documents and was originally published in French, is a brilliant and insightful analysis of the Moscow Council and its many fascinating ideas and challenges. It is not only a fair and balanced treatment of Russian Orthodoxy's determination to make Christ's enduring message of love and justice relevant to a people experiencing radical changes in society but also an incredibly rich presentation of original source documents." (The Catholic Historical Review)"[This] book is characterized primarily by the concise provision of accurate information. However, there is nothing tedious about this careful exposition of a potentially emotive subjective. [There] could be no better introduction to [the Moscow Council] than this cogently organized and exceptionally well indexed book..."

Free Download Das tschechisch-deutsche Drama 1918-1939 By Schultze-Rhonhof, Gerd
2011 | 435 Pages | ISBN: 3789283657 | PDF | 5 MB
Die Besetzung der Tschechei durch deutsche Truppen von 1939 bis 1945 und die anschließende Vertreibung der Sudetendeutschen von 1945 bis 1946 werden heutzutage gemeinhin als das 'tschechischdeutsche Drama des 20. Jahrhunderts' wahrgenommen. Die Zeit davor löst sich im Nebel des Vergessens auf, dennoch strahlen diese Jahre bis 1939 auf die Zukunft ganz Europas aus: Es sind die Ereignisse jener Zeit, die direkt in den Zweiten Weltkrieg führen. Deshalb ist das tschechisch-deutsche Verhältnis von 1918 bis 1939 ein entscheidender und schicksalhafter Abschnitt der deutschen Geschichte. Der Autor des Buches '1939 - Der Krieg, der viele Väter hatte' untersucht nun, wie das Geschehen in der Tschechoslowakei von 1918 bis 1939 den Marsch in den Zweiten Weltkrieg ausgelöst hat. Er zeichnet ein differenziertes Bild des Vielvölkerstaats mit seinen sieben Sprachnationen und den sechs Millionen Minderheitenbürgern, die 1938 und 39 diesen Staat verlassen wollten. Er lässt dabei immer wieder sowohl die damals lebenden Slowaken, Tschechen und Ruthenen als auch die Sudetendeutschen zu Wort kommen, so dass sich der Leser ein eigenes Urteil bilden kann.

English | 2012 | pages: 224 | ISBN: 1906626162 | EPUB | 12,4 mb
The struggle for naval supremacy and the naval arms race inspired by HMS Dreadnought may have captured the headlines, but the opening stages of the naval war were dominated by the threat from German cruisers stationed outside European waters, until they were hunted down and sunk by the Royal Navy, notably at the Battle of the Falkland Islands in 1914. Germany switched its focus to the U-boat, seeing it as a weapon capable of winning the war by starving Britain into surrender. Unrestricted submarine warfare led to the sinking of millions of tons of shipping, but it would also force the USA to enter the war on the Allied side in 1917. In the Mediterranean, the French fleet took the lead, while Austria-Hungary supported German actions. The Allied attempt in 1915 to use maritime power to break the strategic deadlock with an amphibious operation in the Dardanelles ultimately failed, although Allied sea power helped sustain the successful campaigns against the Ottoman Empire in the Middle East.

Gustav Klimt first made himself known by the decorations he executed (with his brother and their art school companion F. Matsch), for numerous theatres and above all (on his own this time) for the Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna, where he completed, in a coolly photographic style, the work begun by Makart. At the age of thirty he moved into his own studio and turned to easel painting. At thirty-five he was one of the founders of the Vienna Secession; he withdrew eight years later, dismayed by the increasingly strong trend towards naturalism.
